Payrise is for key members of the team, not for bit part player who is 30. He clearly is demanding too much, agent and Fellaini obviously think he offers more than he's been offered. Otherwise why is he struggling to find another club that will meet his demands. I don't think he's deserved the abuse from United fans during his stay, he's been massively disrespectful towards the club in interviews lately. Best for everyone he moves on, he isn't wanted or welcome now.
The problem is that everyone knows we want to sell these players and noone wants to pay over the odds, we wanna get decent money. I for one never liked when we let players go cheapely. If we manage to get something for Darmian or Fellaini(is he out of the contract this summer?) It will be a masterpiece. I don't understand how owuld be anyone willing to pay for Darmian anything. He's total shite. Other thing would be if Darmian manages somehow to stay. Then I would question our ability in the transfer market.
wow if he was as important to Mourinho as he think he is we would offer him a new lucrative contract. He's just a squadie for Mourinho which can be somehow justified with the money he's given now and Mou will not come out and say he doesn't count with the player so he would put him into transfer market while making his value drop because he wasn't needed.. I reckon we gave him 2 years extension with slightly better contract, just to make him stay and give him few games here and there but we would still be selling him because we would be getting new replacements and keep rebuilding, he obviously he's not part of our rebuilding...
What are you talking about? His statement is spot on. How would you then rate his following qualities?
1) Short & Long passing. Weight and accuracy?
His short game(right and left foot), one touch or two is as good as anybody we've got in midfield at the moment, granted he hasn't got, or more likely he prefers not risking losing possession with the Hollywood diagonals of a Paul Pogba, but let's be honest only one out of four of PP's hit the intended target anyway, so....
2) Football intelligence as in vision, abilities to read the game in the defensive and offensive scheme during a match. Does he have an eye for a defence splitting pass? Does he track back runners making movements off the ball to help out our defence?
Not sure what vision has to do with game intelligence, you either have it or you don't, but instinctively knowing where to be at any given time, and again he is as good as anybody we currently have(Matic maybe has it, but he's had to work at it, but don't tell me Pogba or Herrera have it as they spend most of the game in, and out of possession catching up with the game at their own pace), and of course he tracks runners, his best position is, and always has been is a defensive midfielder, that's where he made his name, and tracking runners, and knowing when to pass players on is one of his strengths.
3) Technique in terms of dribbling, ball control from a high or hard or fast pass, dribbling, body feints or abilities and composure with the ball from pressing and in tight spaces?
He's a defensive midfielder, why would you want him to dribble ?
Chest control i give him a worldclass given its such a rare quality.
Steady on, that was nearly a compliment
Feel free to add on qualities which support the definition of passing, technique and football intelligence.
Yeah I would agree with that, a portion at Old Trafford let themselves down that day. I never had a huge issue with Fellaini at United except for the elbowing and getting sent off in the derby. I think he's a plan C and and a squad player that could be useful, overused by managers and that's not his fault. As I said, best for everyone if he moves on. There has never been the connection there, rather he went.
Starting to think you don't rate him
)Don't think Moyes had an option but to play Fellaini further up the field mate, he didn't have a fit striker, nor the money to spend on a new one so it was either Fellaini or one of the other midfielders and the tallest of the rest was 5' 8"(in heels
Well to be fair he got booed off OT. He might rate himself a tad on the higher side of the scale .
Perhaps he'll concede a penalty against us like he did for Everton.
"Supporters" in quotes lol. If only everyone could be a top red like you.
