Get in!
In other words; we don't give a feck about 'i don't need to prove myself to anyone' fellaini, as long as he's sold, but care for even a snippet of info regarding Vidal, who we dearly care about
I'm maybe mistaken but he wasn't Standard Liege best player, witsel, defour and Mbokani at least were.
Exactly if we sell him for around £15M he will have cost us nearly £1M per start. For Fellaini! Which of our transfers is worse than that?
Totally and unfairly misquoted with that and he was not talking about United.
Ouch
How many starts did Bebe have? How much did he cost, was it £5m?
Makes sense, pretty sure we'll achieve this personally.
If we don't finish top 4 in the next 2 seasons then we deserve to have income slashed. It would be an absolute travesty.
Having said that, the deal would still be bigger than everyone elses

Not surprising, Adidas are only covering themselves if we fail to make the CL.
Massive incentive to improve the team so we are certain to make the top 4. You hear that woody?
He's left footed.
Better buy some feckin players then Ed!
I'm far from a Fellaini fan, but you are being overly harsh here considering:
- He didn't set the fee, Moyes/Woodward managed to feck up the signing to the degree that we bought him after his release clause went up around 5m, because we were trying to be clever and get Baines at the same time
- He was bought to play in a position that isn't his best, in a team where the players around him couldn't cover for his shortcomings there as last season we were awful in that area of the pitch to a man
- Was never going to be played in his most effective position, as we have actual world class (or near world class at least) players who would all start ahead of him there (Rooney, Mata, Kagawa, Januzaj to name a few)
- Was injured when we bought him, and missed much of the second half of the season due to a necessary operation
- Played in one of the worst performing sides that we have had in the PL era, and despite hardly featuring was made a scapegoat for our lowest ever PL finish
- Actually played quite well in some of the games he started for us, certainly not being the worst player on the pitch in any of them, and didn't really get the opportunity to have a decent run of games to try and hit any kind of form.
Yes, it was a poor signing, and was disappointing for us all, but a worse signing than the likes of Kleberson, Dong, Bebe, Obertan, Djemba Djemba, Bellion, Veron, or even the incredibly disappointing Anderson? No chance. Not even close.

You do realise he cost a bomb? This is what stands him out from the likes of Bellion. He was one of our worst transfers ever, if not the worst, simple as.
That cnut peter spencer is saying Liverpool are hijacking the Vidal deal
Veron and Anderson have had performances for us Fellaini could only dream of. There's no way either of them are as low on the totem as him.
That makes him the one of the best substitute strikers in the league not one of the best strikers in he league. He's not even close to the level of Van Persie or Aguero so it's exactly as controversial as it looks.
We bought Fellaini to do a job he's not done before, blame lies with Moyes/Eddy. Fellaini is getting unnecessary flak.
I thought he'd do well in the midfield hard man role but I was wrong, he is a bit too clumsy. My favourite moment of his is where he clouted into someone, forget who, for bullying Adnan.

What a stupid thing to say. Do you really need it breaking down to you as to why he's obviously a worse signing than Dong, Kleberson, Bebe, Djemba and Obertan? Do you not see an obvious common factor there? They were relatively cheap, and we made money off loaning Bebe out. What a moronic thing to compare them without factoring in the fee we paid, he's our fourth most expensive player of all time FFS.
Oh Veron and Anderson have put in performances for us that Fellaini couldn't dream of producing. Watching him against bayern was like watching a donkey, heck a donkey would have displayed better ball control. That image of him running the ball out summed up his signing for me, embarrassing.
And people thought Van Gaal would give Fellaini a chance 
Seriously only way Liverpool could get him was if we were not in for him.
Don't trust that Spencer idiot. Said Vidal was imminent a few weeks ago,
Eh? Most of those (Kleberson, Dong, Bebe, Obertan, Djemba twins, Bellion) were relatively low cost signings, who we took a punt on and didn't work out. While Veron and Anderson, while ultimately failures, at least put in some great performances and contributed to our success.
Fellaini is worse then all of those by a country mile.
As @KiD MoYeS said, there's absolutely no comparison between those players and Fellaini. Most of them cost peanuts and the likes of veron were on a different level altogether. I reckon Fellaini's actually been worse than kleberson too, who wasn't that bad really. He just wasn't very good and was out of place. Fellaini has been awful so far. Absolutely awful. And he cost a bomb. Horrible signing.
Legend!
Vidal won't go to Liverpool but if he was to it'd spell the end of Woodward.
Liverpool must be good if they're hijacking a non-existent deal.
What a weird post.
What a weird reply to a non weird post.
Right yeah, Woodward will be sacked if a player we might not even be after joins another club.
If you don't believe fans would turn against Woodword to devastating effect then okay...
You mean like they did last summer? Since when do the owners give a shit what the fans think?
We'll agree to disagree. If Woodword fails to deliver this summer then he's fecked, that's my opinion and you don't have to share it.
Fans might turn against Woodward for sure but the work he is doing on commercial deals would mean he's probably untouchable in the eyes of the Glazers.
