I think he'd be very useful against City, but I doubt he would have made much difference against what was essentially a pretty lightweight Chelsea side.

Fellaini is the kind of player i would have liked to force a way through at the end of the game. When we don't have the time anymore to combine a way through, just give a long ball with Fellaini in the pack, or a cross. Always danger when he is in that role.
To be fair, having maybe the biggest aerial threat in the league will be a huge asset, can't hurt to have another avenue to settle tight games, we had 2 corners in the final minute of injury time last night, for example.
Prefer we go for Barkley, but why not send £40 million for the both of them.
We would be fairly handy in the air with Vidic, Ferdinand, Jones, Fellaini, Welbeck and Van Persie, with Evra needing picking up too
This is my biggest fear, that we resort to lumping the ball to Fellaini.
As long as it gets us results it doesn't bother me if we do it from time to time to be fair. Always nice to have a plan B.
Alright, lets sign the tall fecker already.
Is he capable of playing on the wing as an AM? Then he has more chances of signing for us. But if he only plays CAM, then I doubt we need him since we have Rooney, Kagawa and Januzaj.
Betcha Woodward buys a palm tree by accident. For £25m.
Plays CM and AM. We've used Cleverley wide, no reason to think Barkley couldnt
Football Manager.
Central Attacking Mid. In other words the #10 role, the playmaker etc.
I've fined RDCR07 one weeks wages but my assistant manger says he was rather lax in his efforts at training today as a result.
Also, the supporter's club has slammed my handling of the situation.
< Unsettled. Unhappy about his manager's treatment of teammate. Considering his options.
EMS as Liam Neeson would say.
Thats what you get for fining me for no reason. Im an important player of this redcafe team.

Re. Fellaini. Looks like the deal is agreed. £20m rising to £24m. Good news. Baines as I said the othe day stays at Goodison.I like this. I think.
We should have spent £20M rising to £24M from the start. I don't like that Moyes reputation at Everton has been a bit ruined because of this now.
That's fair enough.
Delighted we've finally got him, and delighted we've not got Baines

Im just glad we didn't pay more than release clause.
Good back up for Carrick.
Now get someone to partner Carrick.

Brilliant glad to hear it seems to be done I think he'll add a great deal to our squad.
Cool, he'll be a good addition to the squad. Carrick and Fellaini to provide the stability in midfield, Nani, Rooney, Kagawa, Zaha and RVP to provide the creative and attacking threat. Me likey!!
Can't think of any reason not to believe Alistair Fergusson. He's been rock solid thus far.
Cool. Happy with that. Means we can play the less 'safe' Kagawa more often without worrying about our defence.
Good player and will give us a new dimension in attack and in defence.
A very good signing if true.
Yeah that would be a good positive if we did sign him, might allow us to give the likes of Nani and Kagawa to attack in the way City can give Silva/nasri/navas using a solid base.
What a shame it's midfield that gives us problems.
We've played without half a midfield for years so quite used to it now...
Also, it sounds logical, unlike some crazy 9 figure Bale stories, involving United.
Splitting the difference gives £22m. So we shaved £1m off the price by leaving it to the last minute. A penny saved is a penny earned.
Yep. Though I hope Cleverley doesn't fall too much out of favour. I really like him.
Well if we get him I hope we can agree a trade with Chelsea and load of Rooney for Mata. Next summer then we pay Schalke the buyout clause for Draxler and our midfield is all of a sudden looking much better. Make it happen Woody.
