Alright, name some.
You can't argue that some of the top talents have been snapped up over the past couple of years, many in the £20M to £25M price range and teams like Arse, Chavs, Shitty are well stocked whereas all we have done is overpayed for a player who doesn't seem to be able to play where & how we need him to.
So basically two British players in that team.
I don't expect any signings, let alone major ones, in January. The club doesn't panic buy in January.
Unless its Phillip Lahm or Ashley Cole who's better than him?
Well it's too bad that British players tend to be overpriced and are a level or two below foreign players then isn't it? We're not going to suffer as a club because we want the bulk of our team to be British if there aren't any British players who are good enough, are we?So basically two British players in that team.

How did he faired away from Everton? (ex national team)
There's a massive difference between a mid table EPL club and Manchester United. Just ask Young, Valencia and Fellaini about that.
You can have doubts over Baines' age and possible fee if we were interested in signing him (as I do - I think at nearly 29 and a fee of over £15m we might be better suited at looking at younger targets..), but I think most people agree that Baines is a top left back. Best in the Premier League IMO, he would be certainly improve our side.
And in regard to your other point, what about all the other players from mid table/lesser known clubs who have made the step up and gone on to be great players for us? Oh, and Fellaini hasn't even played 10 games for us yet FFS.
What a stupid point. Can you only buy players from other top clubs now?
And? What's the point of expressing such a redundant opinion?
My point is that just because he done great with Everton that doesn't mean that he's a top player.
I'm willing to say that United will spend at least £20m in January

If Fellaini doesn't prove that I don't know what does.

It proves nothing. Well, at least give the guy a chance. As much of a chance as given Moyes. People already stamping he's useless and shit. Come on, he has talent and tools to succeed, but even that may not be enough. Suffice to say extremely more talented players failed at United, Forlan, Veron and Berbatov come to mind, but others regarded as limited and even shit went on to have great times here, Fletcher as the most obvious one.
Valencia was one of our best players before 2012/13 so don't put him in that list, and Fellaini has barely played, the jury is still out on him.

For someone to answer that question would mean he's been at a top club already. Following on.. For him to be at Everton now.. Would have automatically ment he failed at a big club.
I've never said that we shouldn't buy players from mid table EPL sides. What I am saying is that we should be careful about them. Many of them come with a big price tag (20m for Young or 15m for a 29 year old Baines) which often is not justified especially when compared to players playing abroad. Also the gap between playing for the likes of Everton and Aston Villa and playing at United is enormous.
There's no hard and fast rule about that but normally I wouldn't like that our club get players from mid table EPL sides unless these players are young/promising enough to improve. That's why Id rather see United opt for Shaw then Baines.
If you look at the bigger picture (2014)
------------De Gea----------
Rafael-- Vidic--Evans-- Shaw
Not very much experience with Vidic injures being unpredictable.

I'd only call Shaw inexperienced.

You can't bracket Berbatov with those 2. He was top scorer one year Rooney didn't turn up
Erm can you tell me exactly were he had excel exactly? He's not particularly hardworking, he's not particularly fast and he's not particularly talented. In few words he's average. Fletch was a hardworking player, however no one would have spent 27m on him.
