Erm. Nope. I thought Keane was an idiot for that whole thing with Shearer in 02/03 and getting himself sent off, leaving his team in a mess.
I think Fellaini knows he has something left to offer (not us, a lower tier side)... however even Anderson knows he can contribute nothing and isnt willing to try. Anderson has been here to do nothing but pick up a paycheck for a very long time, Nani as well.
Absolute nonsense. We're not all thugs who enjoy spineless crap like that.
This is complete and utter nonsense. Maybe in the closed minds of the fans who spend their time pissing and moaning about United. If anything, he has the most to gain by proving to Van Gaal that he has something left to give. He has a big chance to turn around a poor first season and if he gets that chance to stay and make an impact, what then? We have to constantly read the drivel peddled by fans who will never change their minds? Even if he has a positive effect on the squad and any plaudits they might receive?
Well that's a rational argument.
He has never shown that he is good enough to play for United. The only time he was above average was when he played as a #10 at Everton because he suited their long ball, caveman football. Boot it to him, let him chest/head it down and he'll hold up play until the rest get there. What we all dream of seeing, of course. Moyes, idiotically, wanted to play him in a position he's not very good at, while Fellaini wouldn't displace any of our actual #10s in terms of ability. The only reason he could stay is that our midfield is so abject and thin that we need a warm body. He's not a young player who could suddenly "get it" and become a much better player. He's been in the league for years and has never been particularly inspiring, even before his tumescent year at United. Some players, and managers, come to United are out of their depth. Fellaini is one of those players, much like his erstwhile manager.
Fellaini at CB? Never. His first touch is terrible, he's clumsy as hell, and he really cannot tackle. The amount of petulant fouls he'd give away is staggering, he gives away enough from midfield as it is.
Well we may have no choice if we do not sign a CB, especially with the lack of depth at the back. We have 3 recognised CB's, and VG plans to use all 3 week in week out. Smalling and jones could easily be on the sidelines, our only options would be blacket keane and possibly fellaini
Blackett, Keane, and then Fletcher, and maybe Shaw would be in reserve if we had injury issues at CB.
And he never will, seeing as he will never play for us again.
Whose he joining ?
Do you even believe what you're rabbiting on about?... I mean, 'never' shown that he is good enough to play for United? Played him in the position he's not good at? As in the same position he played for Everton in his final season and for Belgium? This is the same lazy garbage that keeps getting strolled out time and time again. It really is staggering to be honest.
The only reason, good grief. Get a grip.
He has nothing to do with it. He was a player signed by Moyes, big deal. The fans need to get over it - so was Mata, Rooney was re-signed at the time as well. Are we making a big silly ranting song and dance about them being 'involved in the Moyes fiasco' as well? Why are we attributing him into Moyes not signing other players as well? It literally makes no sense at all.
Probably Napoli or something. Don't think he'll last beyond August though.
It also staggers me why people say he can't tackle, as well. The fouling part I can understand - heaven forbid a player compete for the ball in midfield, I know. Shock horror - but poor touch and can't tackle is just making things up to have a go at him.
Didn't Van Gaal say he'd line up before the Swansea game?
He can't tackle. He's an absolute pussy. Players with geuine ability walk past him like he's not there.
He's playing against Valencia?
Come on mate. Moyes is the reason to be here at the first place. Can't see who else would have brought him. He simply can't offer nothing else than being a backup player and only come on if we're playing Stoke and they are leading us in the fouls department.
He really is very clumsy. He got away on several occasions in the box last year with clumsy tackles and interceptions. Struggles one on one with skillful and pacy players, they just go right through him(or he hacks them down, with his 3 fouls in a row against Messi in the WC being the highlight). He's very good in the air and chesting the ball but when in his feet, he does have a touch of a rapist.
Has van Gaal said he's playing on Tuesday? Genuine question, I'd be surprised if he was involved to be honest, unless van Gaal has said otherwise...It is currently raining in Manchester.
Pointless reply to a pointless question
How is that his fault though? Why should it be used as a stick to beat him with in this case. I perfectly understand that people have reservations about him turning it around.. After that season I think the entire squad have a chance to turn it around and they need to take it to save face. Why did Martinez play him in the first three games as a ball winner - Okay, the nobody would have bought him argument is fair but there isn't really anything to back it up - Martinez played him in the first three games. If he was as shit as everyone makes him out to be - then why? He had other players there if he either knew he was off or he was indeed the shittest footballer on earth.
Like I said - the same tired arguments over and over. 'He can't do this - he can't do that..' Lets just see if he gets a shot under Van Gaal. See what he can do. Even before we start just blindly making things up to have a go at him for.
I thought he had, when I said it above. But it appears I can only find 'every player will get a chance' articles saying Fellaini should. Not actual quotes.
He's as much a midfielder as Kagawa is.
Not for me and even if that is the case, then he is still an option for the more defensive mid role whereas Kagawa is never going to be that.
Based on what? His horrendous passing? His clumsy tackling? His pathetic positioning?
Except for those like 4 seasons he played that position for Everton.
Did you watch any of Evertons first three games last season? Or anything prior to the 12/13 season?
Averagely.
Based on him performing well there for us in a few games last season.
