So you'd rather see caf getting annoyed than your club getting a quality midfielder instead of Fellaini?

I've seen several similar comments in here and each and every one, are as pathetic.
RedCafe when it looked like Fellaini was leaving
RedCafe when it was reported Fellaini will stay

Mourinho cannot complain about the quality of the squad after his fifth transfer window. I don't want to hear bullshit about it not being his team.
He never actually said buy a new midfielder, he said 'find a replacement'. I would consider changing Lingard's position from right winger/#10 to attacking midfielder to be finding a replacement, likewise integrating Pereira into the squad.
If he actually 100% meant we need to spent money on signing a new midfielder to replace Fellaini then he's simply wrong, again. Like when he spent £60m on two CBs, neither of whom are first choice in the position. Or when he spent £40m on replacing our player of the season with Matic, forcing us to spend another £50m on Fred to fix the problems caused by signed Matic. Or when he signed an ageing LW when we already had Martial tearing it up in that position. He has to do much, much better than this if we are to have any chance of closing the gap with City and the elite European teams.
As soon as this news came out, my first reaction was no other club wanted him and to give him the same importance as it stands in Utd.
It never even made sense after last summer
CB and backup striker coming up.
Jose must be really scared of these ellbows 
It’s like trying to get rid of herpes 
If mourinho wants him then people should "support" the manager. He clearly sees him crucial to his plans next season so let him have him. People forget players don't pick themselves, managers do so tow the line and quit complaining. People might as well complain about Mourinho! Fellaini didn't award himself the new contract, did he?
This is a fecking horrible news as far as I'm concerned. How the feck do we wanna move forward as a club if we keep players that aren't just suited for the highest level of technical performance required. I mean which other serious club with big aspirations would wanna keep and make feel validated a player like Fellaini.
I have nothing against him but our club is a fecking joke at times, spending money on washed up players, injuried, overrated players and keeping for long periods of time players who are technically decent at best if not bad. feck this
I cannot fecking believe Manchester United is bending backwards for Marouane Fellaini
We're not talking about a Ballon d'Or potential nor a world class player ffs, he's made statements that a player who wanted to leave made.

Club has lost its self respect. How does Fellaini get a new deal after his public statements
He had no excuse since last summer
Fellaini only makes sense if we would be investing the money to properly reinforce the squad in a number of positions or/and if we're adding a top player on ridiculous fees. I wonder if we're witnessing the club reverting to skint mode.
He was talking about transfers so I think in the context. “Find a replacement” meant sign a new midfielder
We better be signing someone big or a few big signings if we're keeping him.
That's true but I think that realistically we need to conduct a lot of business because we have too much meh. In addition, you cannot ignore the money other clubs spent.....we finished second which is a good place to rebuild from. Obviously what hurt people was Europe and yes we were pathetic during that period and afterwards.
He has to win the league or come very close this season. If the start is rough we are in for a ride I think.This is a fecking horrible news as far as I'm concerned.

Half the problem is the players him himself has brought in
What if he signs the new deal and we put him on the market?
it won't happen but business is business. People always say these things. If some had their way, we'd have sold Ronaldo after that incident in the championships or when he wanted to go but we wanted to keep him another year...just let him go!...Fellaini isn't the problem. It's a squad game and now that money can be reinvested. Fellaini isn't going to make or break our summerThe only positive in renewing his contract I can think of is Mourinho will have one less excuse if he fails to better last season.
People are being overly dramatic. Have some patience. We don't have citys budget. It's as much the scouts fault as anyones or the boards. The attitude of the club has been poor since Sir Alex retired. For me we are too slow. We play much to safe. We UNDERSPEND. We can't sell players for good money. We move on the wrong players. I would trust jose to know what he's doing.
Doesn't really though does it? It's literally the entire point of negotiations. You negotiate contract to a point that it satisfies both parties.
Don't see how a longer contract is "giving in".
This is most probably the case. We obviously need a CB, LB & RW more than a second CM.
Those three signing alone will take 150-200 million, which added to the 65 we have already spent in anything but the club reverting skint mode.
It's win or bust. Coming close won't change anything, he'll have to be sacked if he doesn't win the PL (as any self respecting big club would do anyway, you never know with us
)Even if City wins it ala Aguero style on the last day, it'll be a failure.
Mourinho seem to love the guy so, not really surprised. Hope it means we are preparing to spend big on a cb+rw.
Why would a club pay a fee when they could have got him for free all summer? The only scenario I could think of is a player getting injured at another club and need replacing urgently.
Worse than that is how he cannot get them to perform.
If this is true why have the club said nothing? Seems weird
That comment was tongue in cheek
. There is only one fellaini and for some moments he will do good things. People used to say he was a red card waiting to happen but that barely happened. I don't think he's that big an issue. Sure i'd like another midfielder to come in but then if we use the finances for another full back? Or another key position then we have to accept it. It's always frustrating when we bring players in early and then it goes all quiet. We all want to see what more we bring in. If we did no more business? Then yes it would be terrible but I don't think even we can be that stupid.Finishing second when you've essentially lost the title in October and when you look at point difference, it's honestly not that great even if it's an improvement on the previous season
They won't go for Fellaini, because he isn't good enough, he is relatively old and has a relatively big contract.
Bizarre.
Was he still on the same contract when he signed for the club under Moyes? Moyes really did a number on the club.
Disagree with all of this. Jose has been backed by Woodward.
His 4 specialists in the first summer. We even brought in Sanchez in Jan.
None of those players are performing.
If we play too safe, that down to the manager. I disagree that we underspend we just havent spent wisely.
What if he signs the new deal and we put him on the market?
Yes, the classic reverse deal.
Seller: Want this item for free?
Buyer: No
Seller: Want it for 10mil then?
So everyone knows our plan B for next season. Might as well be our plan A for the way we attack......
Calm down people, if some papers are saying (is HLN from Belgium?) he is staying doesn't mean he actually is. Finally realised no club in the world want him, so maybe he (his agent) is just trying (with a little help from journo friend) to use us to get some clubs sign him. Maybe. Everton, please step up.
Now he knows no one wants him, so tail between his legs, and he will say he is happy to stay at the biggest club in the world, after all the crap he spouted before. I don't want players like him at club. If he stays, hope we give him contract, every game you play, you get payed, and if he scores, we give him fish and chips. Who does he think he is? I'd run his contract down, and wave goodbye in a few days.
