I wouldn't be against using him as a no.10 - if mata isn't cutting it then he offers something different.
Kagawa is fairly similar and if mata isn't working out you'd expect he wouldn't have much impact.

Just please keep him the hell away from our midfield.
"If Mata isn't cutting it" You must have never seen him play. Haven't you heard/read reports that he is the player who has most impressed the new manager?
 
Just seen him on SSN, why do footballers, or anyone for that matter, wear trainers with a suit?
 
Has he gone yet?

Not to say this isn't what you're doing, but we should all do our part and pretend we really really want him to stay so that any interns at Napoli who might be trawling fan-forums report to their superiors that they think they're getting a good deal.
 
Its pretty clear LVG sees Fellana as a #10, and he's by a country mile the worst player in our most well-stocked position. He's also a terrible football player who's hard to watch play.
 
definitely for the best if he goes, but I do think a part of it will be van Gaal wanting to get rid of him cause he's a player Moyes signed.

That's nonsense mate. If he's getting rid of him it's because he isn't good enough and doesn't for into his plans. Mata is a testimony to that.

of course, hence why I said 'part'. As in, a sort of statement of intent. It's an added bonus.

I just don't think he's that childish. He's not like us fans, he has nothing against Moyes.

I think if he had any sort of statement to make it would be to keep the useless sack of shit and find a purpose and make a footballer out of him just to prove what a top manager he is.
 
I don't think we should be quick in selling Fellaini. We're already thi in midfield and with Carrick out for a few months we'll need him as a cover. Its a different story though if we sign a couple of midfielders , it would be best for both parties to move on then.

it's not about having anything against Moyes, it's about making statements of intent. He already said Moyes left him a broken squad, after all. By all accounts it looks like he's trying to put that shitty 'era' to bed.

If selling Fellaini means we are getting a new CM, then be it. He has anyway shown he can't play in midfield (central or deeper), and we already have better No 10s.
 
The negotiations must be the easiest ever.

Napoli: So we hear your selling some players?

Woody: Fellaini, take Fellaini.

Napoli: oh OK, I mean we just wanted to know....

Woody: 20m, wait sorry, 15m, maybe 10m just take him. Whatever you offer he's yours, and you can take all those curly wigs as a good will gesture.

We're not thin in midfield, we're short of quality and he's the worst of the lot.

Herrera, Carrick, Fletcher, Cleverley, Fellaini, Anderson. In that order and we're more than likely signing another. That's 5th in the pecking order for one of two positions and as a "10" he is fifth in line for one of five positions.

Fair enough, I just think the only reason he'd get rid if him is because he doesn't want him.
 
This transfer rumor has reached Naples

I think he's the worst midfield option we have by a distance.

He can't pass, run, dribble, control, shoot, cross or tackle without getting away with a foul.

All he can do is chest it. He's a disgrace.

Nah Ando is worse.

Anderson spends more team injured than on the field. If Fletcher is injured we're only down with Cleverley and Herrera for the CM role in the early part of the season. Yeah I reckon we'll certainly buy another midfielder so we can offload him without any hesitation.
 
The poor napoli fans will have to invent arguments as to why he's a good signing. We've been there of course and it wasn't nice.

The Serie A doesn't even use crosses as much as the EPL does.

If they get him on loan then I am afraid we'll see him back next season
 
He's really not. At least Ando has the decency to get too unfit to be selected once in a while. Fellaini doesn't even have that as a redeeming trait.

Fellaini is available, Ando is not.

I think that Fellaini is better then Clev and Ando. However I'd rather keep Clev (cheaper and younger) then him
 
I think Fellaini gets a bit too harsh treatment here sometimes.

He can perform reasonably well, he did for Everton, it is just that the things he can do are not what we need, and never will be.

Still, I cant really hold it against him, Moyes shouldnt have signed him, of all people he knew what fellaini brings, and no player would turn down a move to us if offered as that one was. Everton or United? I'd think there was something wrong with the bloke if he said no. A poor signing, but by the manager, not the player.
 
I want Fellaini gone, but this idea that he's far worse than our other options is completely untrue and a case of people going overboard because he's a Moyes signing. He doesn't suit us at all as a team, but he's not terrible.

He's actually excellent for the likes of Stoke and Bolton.
 
The funny thing is that the main culprits (Fellaini and Moyes) who screwed us up may still end up in the CL.
 
I'd rather have no one than Fellaini. If he were the last midfielder alive I'd like us to play without midfield.

He's a worse midfielder than both of them. Anderson is the most talented of the three but he's never fit. Cleverley is better technically than Fellaini as well as being more mobile and energetic.

If Fellaini had a bit of drive about him he'd get an easier ride but he just strolls through games.

You have to be a suave, artistic genius to get away with that and Fellaini is as close to a footballing genius as Justin Beiber is to John Lennon.

Ando is never available and his attitude sucks. Fellaini is slightly better then Clev but that doesn't justify his fee and salary.

One of the biggest myth's on the Caf. Anderson was never as talented as people make him out to be. Plenty of talented footballers can still shine when unfit.

I agree that Anderson is a waster but Fellaini isn't better than Cleverley. They're both 'safe' passers but Cleverley has more energy and drive about him.

He's more talented than Fellaini or Cleverley though.

He's the one who's looked to have had more potential at a younger age than both of them, I think that's what he means

The Fellaini who scored over 10 goals for Everton a few seasons back? maybe I'm completely out of order here, but Anderson has done nothing to be regarded more talented than anyone in our current midfield. Early promise means nothing in the argument either. Talent isn't just about being quicker than somebody on a pitch.

Again, there seems to be some confusion between a player that's shit and a player just not suiting us. Fellaini isn't a terrible player.
