Fellaini outpriced himself!
I'm still nervous he'll sign and come back to haunt us for a few more years.
The more worrying aspect is Jose's admiration for him. It indicates that hoofball is still seen as a viable (and important) tactic of of the coming seasons. If Fellaini leaves, don't be surprised if a post-match interview after a defeat next season will include some grumpiness about 'not having the right players to put pressure on the opposition anymore'. (Disclaimer: Not in the Jose out camp, BTW).

I doubt it because Mourinho has the habit of praising players that are not highly rated by him.
How exactly are we pandering to him?Really annoys me how desperate we are in this situation.
A player who isn't good enough to play for us, doesn't resign his contract and wants to leave, and we keep pandering to him and trying to get him to stay.
Cannot wait till Fellaini leaves.

As it was said here Jose oftenly praises players he doesn't have a high opinion of. In any case it's over, he was offered a contract and he refused. So as I said I dont see how we're pandering to him anymore nor how we were pandering at all.Mourinhos has done nothing but praise him very highly and we've offered him a slight payrise to stay. He wants more and a long term than we are offering.

technically awful, no football intelligence, no ability passing wise whatsoever.
We don't play hoofball with Fellaini on the pitch: we put crosses into the box for him. Herrera's goal against Spurs in the FA Cup semi-final was much more hoofey than Fellaini's goal against Arsenal at home in the PL. It's one of the biggest myths going that Fellaini means hoofball.The more worrying aspect is Jose's admiration for him.

Guessing you've never actually watched him, because that's bullshit
He actually said this?
What is the theory behind why he does this exactly?
How did you know, I have supported the club he plays for over 35 years but no I havent actually seen him play.
Wow, admire your honesty, but i'm not really sure how you missed seeing him as he's well over 6 foot tall, has big hair which makes him look even taller, and you could say he's not the most elegant of movers when in stride, not that that's important though as long as he does what his Manager(s)ask of him in various positions and he does, but if you'd been paying attention you'd have known that.
I am expressing my opinion, not fact,
Obviously, but thanks for pointing it out
Based on Didier Drogba , He said Mourinho never attack/criticize player he doesn't like which could work other way around. Remember he keeps praising Rooney only to bench and sell him in the end.What is the theory behind why he does this exactly?

I think we're almost guaranteed a Jose strop next season because he doesn't have Fellaini to lump it up to when we need a goal. Even though that tactic almost never worked anyway.

After his comments that United had "made a mistake" in delaying the offer and now he would cost more, United should have taken all offers off the table.
Quotes from an interview he gave 2 weeks ago. He doesnt hold backDoes anyone have an actual source for this?
The longer this drags on, greater the chances he'll extend with us.

The Rooney thing was different, i think he knew he was past it but he respected Rooney personally and he respected his status within the club and didn't want to create a situation the media could turn into a shitstorm they could drag on all season.
With Fellaini he genuinely seems to love him. Plus i can't remember him ever doing this praising players he doesn't like/rate before. Seems like a myth.
If he loves him then he would have given him more then 4 EPL starts and he would have made sure he would get the contract he wanted
I think Mou see a use for him. However he is not willing to overpay 4 his services. The rest is all posturing in front of the media were he basically defended his manager's right to choose the players he want
Don't think they needed to ask him to play like a useless twat, that just comes naturallyAhh thanks Class of 63 Now I see why we have failed post Fergie, all our managers have asked Fellaini to run around like a useless twat.
DittoWe need him gone ASAP, I think the lack of players moving on from the club (Darmian as well) are what's holding us back in the market, we already have a bloated squad and regardless of their qualities they get paid very well and you can't just add more players without some going.
I see what you're saying but to be fair he has had a lot of injuries this season. I don't think Mourinho sees him as a mainstay in the first team, i agree he thinks he is useful and has a really good relationship with him and genuinely does want him to stay.
Does anyone have an actual source for this?
Who does this guy think he is. Mourinho being Mourinho gassing him up has gone right to his head. Why are we begging him ffs
