He could be like a good Heskey to our shit Owen (Wilson).
edit - Only joking, I do rate Wilson
Bench RVP and Falcao and put him upfront from now on.
He's done more up top in 20 minutes then Falcao has managed in about 3 months.
He's proven that he can play for you in midfield and as a striker. Great versatility.
Absolutely spot on.
Rubbish in midfield but has done really well up front, much better option than falcao.
Will usually do a job in midfield and will always be a threat when pushed up front. Nice player to have in your squad....
Strangest feeling just happened, just felt abit of Love for FellainiHe's actually looking like a value for money signing if he keeps on putting in performances and scoring goals. Fairplay to him. Future key player?
He's 27. Not exactly one for the future. He still doesn't look anything like a £27m footballer, though he is handy for when you decide to play long ball football.
He's actually proving to be quite a good signing this season. Makes it even more amazing that he looked that poor under manager who worked with him previously and brought him to England but manages to put in far better performances under a manager who probably didn't know he existed before he came here.
We've played better with him all season. Not sure why people are surprised as he's terrorised teams in that position for Everton for many a season.....
Scary to think if he never got injured he would have probably been sold to Napoli.
Probably our MVP at the moment.

feck it - play fellanini and rooney upfront - certainly a lot better then rvp and falshit
Not sure why he's casted as a being long ball donkey exclusively, he gives the ball away a lot less than the likes of Di Maria, Rooney and even Herrera.
Hard to believe its not Scholes, its Fellaini you know!
If I ever have children, one of them will be Marouane, another one will be Fellaini.
Well played lad.
He is so loveable
Biggest grin on my face when he smashed that rebound in. Gets his head down, works hard, is determined. And bloody effective more than anything. I like him more every time I see him.
Our plan B worked once again .
.Right now I prefer him to Falcao & RVP tbh. He's done really well this season. start him up top.
He's a legend. Still can't believe that some don't see him as a 'United player'.
Marou-ane-ane-ane
He's our Belgian afroman
Marou-ane-ane-ane
He'll elbow your fecking nan
To the left, to the right

Fellaini is a great plan B, I would not go full out with fellaini playing off rooney, but when we need to try and win a game I would use fellaini and rooney in the last 35 minutes of the game. I was one of the fans that wanted him gone, but like always a foolish mindset to go in. I think he should be starting games for us, and a great asset to have especially in away games, and a plan B when we are chasing a game
He could be our Jan Koller with hair obviously.He's actually quite fantastic upfront isn't he?
I am actually beginning to like him as a striker with Rooney. Never thought I would say that.
Obviously we'll be looking for a more fluid style next season but with RvP and Falcao offering next to nothing I think Fellaini as the target man with Rooney playing around him is the way to go for the remainder of the season.
I've always said it, play him in away games. Opponents can't handle him.
I would much rather see those two up front than RVP and Falcao, both can drop into midfield at times as well to make an extra man there. Rooney gives us more pace and fellaini is ten time better with his back to goal in comparison to falcao, he is also better in the air and probably quicker as well.
One defender on him is not enough. He has been very useful once again.
He is on form and should be playing most games.
I actually quite like him as a striker .
He can hold the ball up well and outmuscle defenders allowing for our nippier players like Di Maria/Herrera or whoever to receive a lay off in the box and get a shot away, with the centre backs occupied by the big man. Certainly in away games it is a good option anyway. I think he's vastly better up there than in midfield.

Immense player. Just holds the defender off and opens up passing lanes for balls into him. And his chest control is one of the best I've ever seen - the one from that De Gea miss-kick was amazing.

Oh how the tune has changed on this forum
He has proved he is a good plan B(altough our plan A isn't far from plan B tbf). He hasn't proved he is a good midfielder because for his every good performance in midfield there were at least one or two bad ones. I like him more as a forward than as a midfielder.
Fellaini was unplayable as a forward player, and that is where I've always felt he does the most damage. I was pleased he got to start tonight because his recent performances, barring one dodgy half against Cambridge, have all been productive. The likes of Van Persie and Falcao have been allowed to coast through games on reputation, while Fellaini has had to sit on the bench despite proving a game changer several times (and recently too). Lately I've had the feeling that big names are being rewarded above big performances under Van Gaal. Fellaini deserved to start, he deserved to have the chance to influence the game. Until someone else comes along and plays that role off the front better than him, Fellaini deserves to keep his place. No more favouritism Mr Van Gaal.
I wish people would stop using this phrase, when Fellaini has been arguably one of our most effective outfield players this season.
