He's a fecking beast.
Sell him, sell him now when the price is high!
Nice goal. I always said he can be useful in right role.

Good to see the big fella get a goal.
Lets hope someone wants to buy him now! I'm looking at you Big Sam.
I would rather wait until we buy somebody first.
Add that value to your price. You go, boy.
If he went it'd be to a Champions League club.
No one in the CL would want him.
Celtic?
He's not going to be sold. I reckon LvG will have plans to incorporate him into the squad.
The reputation djemba and kleberson have received has the worst signings united ever made, is pretty stupid.
Djemba and kleberson were low risk signings, they cost the club very little. I think nani, Anderson, kagwa, young, for the money we payed for them, and the return we have had for those players has been far worse than djemba and kleberson combined.
Both djemba and kleberson cost the club around 11 million, the money we payed for Anderson nani young fellaini and kagwa 91 million for these players, and the return we have had, has been underwhelming to say the least.
Even if he plays as he's capable and has a really good World Cup people on here will still claim he's a poor player. There's been an agenda against him on this forum ever since he dominated us at home for Everton. I completely back him to be a good player for us going forward.
Playing as he is capable would still not be good enough.
Almost grabbed another.
Always said he's a top player.
He's clearly a good player. If you genuinely think he'd go to West Ham you're an idiot.
I hope so. I'd let Anderson, Cleverley and Fletcher go before Fellaini. He had a very start stop season the last time around and he is capable of playing better than he did.
Well no, because his good performances always come when its playing to his strengths, i.e his aerial ability and hold up play. Neither of which is suited to the kind of football most United fans want to see.
The agenda posters are the ones that see him score a header and think that proves he's great player and everyone that thinks otherwise is stupid.
The problem is not many clubs who can afford to spend £15m and 100k a week (who have any ambition) want to buy a big lump and play in this style. They could spend the same amount on a couple of young, technically gifted players who are easy on the eye.
Nonsense. Even young has shown far more quality and they've all at times at the club where they've played well.
This is the way he should play, as a forward. Yes I know he's in midfield as well but his priority is to be in the box and attack. This is the same way he played in Everton and grabbed all those goals. He's definitely at his best when he comes running into the box like that. Who's going to stop him? Midfielder?? It's a joke to say this this guy is better in midfield than as a forward.
Would it be worth playing him as a target man and lumping everything at his head? Its all he's good for and I bet Rooney, Mata and RVP would clean up on the knock downs and space his physical presence makes. It wouldn't be playing the United Way but whatever it takes to get us back up the table.
Yeah I would think so too. His best football is yet ahead of him.
No the stupid thing is that nowadays people seem to be the best way of playing football is "technical" passing players and that anyone who doesn't fit into that mould is disregarded. Hence players like Wilshere and Kagawa getting comically overrated and players like Felliani and others get mocked.
I think I'd die a little if we resorted to that kind of football.
His ability to control the ball on his chest is, and always has been is biggest attribute. It's truly phenomenal
Name me one top class team that prefers the old hoof it to the big man routine, over, as you say 'technical' football, and is successful?
Yes and no.
Yes, there is something of an agenda against him, for a long time he was viewed as a scapegoat for other failings in our team. Obviously some people (rightly) said the wasn't going to be a good signing and plainly never rated him, which is a fair and logical position. Others just jump at any chance to criticise him though as he's a very easy target.
Can he be better for us than he has shown so far? Of course, we've seen nowhere near the best of what Fellaini can offer us.
Will we ever see the best of him at United? No. He doesn't fit the club and he doesn't fit the team. He might prove to be a decent squad option but even then we could do better. The very highest level is beyond him and even at PL level we'll struggle to fit him into the team in a way that gets enough out of him.
As a target man behind the striker, sure.
For all the players who people think LVG could work wonders with, I don't think Fellaini is a million miles away from being capable of doing what Strootman was doing for the Netherlands before the injury. Alongside a penetrative passer and a strong-defensive midfielder in a 3, I think he'd be very good for any side.
The way we were using him, he was very frustrating. And in a two with Carrick or Fletcher, he and they had no chance. No balance at all.

Some big men are technically excellent as well. Drogba has the best of both worlds for example.
I'd like to see a list of the teams that have own things over the last X number of years that didn't have a core of players radically more gifted than Fellaini. Unless Stoke have been sweeping up the trophies while I was in a coma
If we play 3-5-2, he'll be very good as the deepest lying midfielder, especially seeing as how none of our center backs are aerially dominant like Vidic used to be. We'd just need the other two to be very mobile and good on the ball.
That we can agree on. Its ridiculous.
There's also something of an agenda in completely ignoring his strong performances in a defensive midfield role for Everton and claiming that his only worth is as a target man. He has a lot of strings to his bow that make him worthy of a squad place, if perhaps not a place in the first team.
Most people defending Fellaini in here aren't claiming he's a great player, to claim that people are doing so is a bit of a straw man argument. Most are simply saying that he's proven himself a decent player and that some on here deny him any credit regardless of how well he plays or has played in the past.
I'm not ashamed to say that I'm massively happy for him. Made my day that.
Hurr durr oaf, shite, get rid.
Saves his fecking NT, what a player.

I hope we are one of 3 teams after him in tomorrow's Mirror transfer gossip.
