I know we all like to have a dig at Glastonspur, but feck me lads, it's Fellaini we're talking about here. We all know he's shite.

 

[NessunDorma]

Still though, could be worse. We could've sold our best player and bought 7 Fellainis, then be stuck with the consequences of that.

Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Zingzingzingzingzingzingzing!

 

[The Neviller]

Fellaini is irrelevant to our central midfield woes, if van Gaal were to ever use him - it'd be as the #10.

Well he was bought as a midfielder and is one of the bodies that "could" be used there.

He's shit, but we'd be better of having him here to fill a shirt if everyone else dies in a tragic hair choking incident than paying his wages to be elsewhere.

 

[Sarni]

Sell him off to who? Not many clubs can afford to pay £100k per wages to even their star players - let alone the likes of Fellaini - and those that could won't remotely want him at that sort of cost. And there's no reason why he should or will accept a wage cut.

United basically made a very bad deal with Everton and now you're stuck with the consequences for the next few years.

He could find teams willing to pay him £60k a week and we'd pay the rest - he'd still cost us £2m a year for the next 3 years but I imagine we'd get a £10m fee for him to cover that. Anything not to have him around.

 

[Sixpence]

Give him to an Oxfam shop.

Who is worse though, Fellaini or Cleverley?

Who is worse though, Fellaini or Cleverley?

Fellaini. Cleverley can play football, albeit somewhat tentatively. Fellaini cannot play football.

Fellaini by a mile.

 

[Offside]

Cleverley is a Footballer who can adequately pass, tackle and cross etc. Very average. Not good enough for United but still pro football standard.

Fellaini can't pass, cross or tackle. He can win a header and foul and that is it.

Fellaini is worse.

Hard question.

Depends on the teams play style. Lots of people forgetting that Fellaini scored 15 goals season before last, when a team played to his strength.

Can't you turds keep the Cleverley/Fellaini mud flinging to a different thread?

This. You'd rather want to face Cleverley in the opposition than that version of Fellaini easily.

Anyway, it's pretty close as overall package probably but Cleverley just fits into the style we are trying to play more even as a squad option, is homegrown at the club and has more potential to grow as a player.

 

[Offside]

Imagine if he said no more signings.

 

[bonusroller]

I have a reasonable stream that doesn't get denied by malwarebytes if anyone is interested

 

[RedSky]

I'm trying to stay awake for the conference! Any idea if its before or after the training session footage?

 

[Alock1]

Would appreciate it mate.

After. Always is. Hope they've fixed the sound problems with the reporters asking questions but I doubt it.

So any idea when it will be? 1:30?

Sounds about right.

Don't think I can last that long. I'll catch up in the morning.

It might be earlier *shrugs*

Cleverley is more suitable for the football we want to play under van Gaal and is probably just as good as an #8 irrespective of the style of team, as he is a better passer, more mobile and Fellaini is just as much of a liability defensively.

However, Fellaini will never be utilised to the best of his abilities here and rightly so, he is a target man and can only really thrive with a team set up to his strengths as he demonstrated for Everton. His best ever club season trumps anything Cleverley has ever produced over the course of a season, but I suppose they aren't comparable in some ways due to their contrasting styles.

If we were to retain one, it would be Cleverley though.

 

[Glanville95]

Can someone send me a stream please.

 

[Redo91]

So just to clarify is the press conference not starting for another hour?

 

[Alock1]

No one knows when it starts

 

[JPRouve]

That's correct

 

[Redo91]

That's correct

Cheers.

 

[quethenoo]

Hmm pretty sure it is Photoshoped.

[walsh]

So 10 of those 12 + De Gea to start tomorrow you'd guess.

-----------De Gea
------Keane Jones Evans
Valencia------------- Shaw/Young
-------Herrera Fletch/Clev
------------Mata
--------Rooney Chicha

Yup, that looks about right to me.

 

[Damien]

Most likely Cleverley over Fletcher and Young over Shaw to start.

 

[walsh]

Most likely Cleverley over Fletcher and Young over Shaw to start.

I'd agree.

 

[Juan't Mata]

Most likely Cleverley over Fletcher and Young over Shaw to start.

Probably a half each either way.
