The only way that will happen is he Fellaini goes up top, which won't happen. What we need to do now is move on from a 4411 and adopt a 4231 with more creative players rather than hard working fast players on the wings.
Fellaini
- Thread starter Bilbo
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

If we're outclassed in CM then its only human to try to find an alternative way how to be effective. Having two 6.3ft guys upfront may give you a hint.
I'm still doubtful even Marouane "safe option" Fellaini will even come off. I hope I'm wrong. I'd have been happy with just Thiago and Fellaini at the start of summer, so long as we kept Nani and Rooney. So, Fellaini and Herrera would still be pretty good, though I don't think Herrera will happen at all. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, after the Thiago heartbreak.
I know he is. It will just be another example of short termism in my opinion, would much rather we went after younger players. He'll have all my support if he signs, I'd much rather he didn't.
Who will be the creative players though? Zaha is raw, Young and Valencia are pretty average, Welbeck plays like a striker on the flanks, Nani is good but inconsistent and Giggs is ancient. Herrera can prove to be the missing piece of the puzzle. I hope we get him.
If we are struggling in midfield and we need a goal then Felliani will go forward more often and....
DDG
RAFAEL-------EVANS-------VIDIC-------EVRA
CARRICK-----FELLAINI
TONY----------ROONEY----------NANI
RVP
I could live with that.
Valencia and Nani had been inconsistent for quite some time + we don't know if Rooney's mind is at the right place at the moment.
@ your OCD. Named Valencia as Tony in the line up, so it is all nice and even.They will have to do. Nani has been inconsistent for quite some time and Kagawa needs to improve alot if he wants to become the player we need.
Last season we struggled with both creating and winning the ball. Felliani will sort the latter but not the former.
I'm pretty sure he went for EVANS over FERDINAND for the same reason.
Should also have Rafa at RB
Nah, Summit is right whereas you are not. I am a huge admirer of Johnny and I think Rio at this age should only be rotation material.
Looks like we'll probably sign him. Meh.
It would definitely help Carrick to cope with pressing and more physical sides during full season.
He would find excellent defensive support from Fellaini, not only that, Fellaini could find excellent passing and assecuration from Carrick when going forward and attacking near the box.
With Everton signing a couple of midfielder i'm sure this deal will get done but i'm afraid it will be more than the release clause.
It's gone all quiet on the wig front....was he our backup or is the fact the deal is nearly done.
That's the one deal I'm pretty sure we'll do.
Not very long way from Liverpool to Manchester. Club can secure this deal probably in less than 3 hours.
So far, looks like everything is going according to plan.
Agree, i guess this is the one that is most likely to be concluded, especially as Everton have bought in a replacement and not to mention the fact they want to sell him.
He's been seen in Manchester!
Aye plus Moyes knows Everton's chaiman like his family.
One phone call and they can talk even about the weather.
This one seems nailed on. Not worth it for me, and I'm never wrong with signings.
He's been seen in Manchester!
By the way, apparently, it's only 2.5 millions now that's separating us from signing him...
That's amazing.Wow, now I'm creaming over Fellaini
I can't imagine that after a wankful of Ronaldo, Thiago, Cesc, Ozil, and I'd have to settle with Fellaini
It's like going from top actress to a girl next door, even that is not a given

O'Rourke and Cross stating that he'll be late for training with Belgium and on his way for med.
Some progress it is and looks like it's a done deal, if true.
