Nice imagination and all..

If Fellaini doesn't turn out to be mint under Mourinho as the manager, Fellaini will end up as the worst big money signing in the history of the club..That's quite the achievement right there. Probably Fellaini's biggest achievement.

Worst big money signing? What has Herrera and Schneiderlin done more than him that warrants them for deserving their fee of £28m and £24m respectively?

That's not even mentioning veron, di Maria Anderson and all

Why do people always use the same players to justify Fellaini. He is easily worse than any of the players you have mentioned.

He has many years of experience as a PL player. He was brought in by his favorite manager, favoured by Moyes and LvG. Adapting and consistency should not be as problematic for him as the others, yet in the 3 years here people are still pointing out to a couple of games to justify him. Prices aside, he is just not cut out for the top level of football for any team neither has he improved dramatically in ability for the last decade imo.

Herrera and Schneiderlin have not been great but it obvious that they have been underused and mismanaged in there short time here. There is no denying their ability or there potential to get better either.

Di Maria did not want to be here yet for half of the season he put some fantastic performances that kept him high in the assists charts till the of the season. It arguable that he was severly mismanaged by LvG in the short time here.

Using Anderson is just laughable imo. Are you comparing Fellaini to a player that came into the PL as a teenager, was part of a successful era? At least Anderson gave us a solid 2 seasons as a young player, more games than Fellaini will ever manage in his entire United career.

Because they are all midfielders who play for Manchester United and are competing with each other? Shocking I know. And no, he's not easily worse. He's also had a better season than both and has done more for United than either of them.

Not true at all. Having talent is useless if that's not used to be effective. Schneiderlin I can agree he has been slightly mismanaged but Herrera to say he was mismanaged is a bit much. I mean he almost always played in midfield and yet he was underwhelming. Overall he has about 2 or 3 goals more than Fellaini and defensively he is also just as much a liability as Fellaini was as he gave cheap freekicks in dangerous positions quite frequently. This has got nothing to do with management but his ability. Being 'easily worse than any of them' is a gross exaggeration. It's quite close and considering they cost almost the same amount, they both would have similar tags

Fellaini has proven to be an important player at times since he has joined, important insofar as he has performed okay, and sometimes well (sometimes among our best performers) in a poorly performing team. I am far from his biggest supporter and I think he should be sold as he doesn't fit into my view of what we need but I certainly don't disregard what he has done in his time here. I never expected much from him as I didn't particularly like him when we signed him but he isn't the worst big money signing in the history of the club. He has just been underwhelming.

A proven premiership player for close to £30mill and he's been an important player "at times".

Overall, he's done feck all to be fair. It's shocking that a proven premiership player for almost £30mill fails to consistently play well.

Not really all that impressive.

Does that equate him as being the worst big money signing in the clubs history though?

It should've said "one of"

 

[LeftyBlaster]

What a dumb yellow for the Hungary game. Does he ever use his brain?

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

I for one am shock as to how much better Belgium look, play and counter attack without him in the side.

Weird.

It is a complete mystery indeed.

 

[Adisa]

Want this guy gone ASAP.
Belgium is a perfect example of why people have been complaining.
He has a way of making everyone around him appear shite. When he's on the pitch, it forces the whole team to play in a way that is completely alien to them.

Now that you have said this. Watch us sell Mata and give Fellaini the #8 shirt!

Definitely. Especially when it isn't like that for us.

 

[Woodenlung]

Stamping and elbowing everything that moves right now. Not only is he a prick, but he's an awful footballer too. Can't pass more than 5 yards, is slow and doesn't track runners. He's a joke.

 

[Attila]

Pretty awful so far, very clumsy

 

[aelharras]

Kick him and his thug mentality out of the club.

 

[shaggy]

Classic Fellaini that miss.

 

[Attila]

How did he miss that

 

[Adisa]

Shocking signing.

 

[Woodenlung]

Needs to be the first player Mourinho sells.

 

[Kazi]

Almost as bad as Ronaldo

 

[Bojan11]

Useful because of his height.

Now we got Ibra who has the height plus is 100 times the footballer Fellaini is.

Need to get rid.

 

[prath92]

Bar that goal naingolan has been just as bad.

 

[andy0]

Well, he is adding innovation to his game.

Knee in the stomach or groin now as well as elbow in the face.

 

[izec]

He is so predictable. If you play him for 90 minutes, you need to play hoofball and risk a red card. After a while, it gets found out. So you need to put him on and hope he causes havoc/scores a goal somehow, but also often misses good chances. I hope we sell him, but it wont happen

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

I hope England is watching and learning.....

 

[gza the genius]

Weird that trying to mount a comeback by subbing on Fellaini wasn't a good strategy. Who would've guessed.

 

[AndyJ1985]

I'll be disappointed if this clumsy oaf isn't sold.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

What a cameo

 

[Mancunia_Religion]

A truly bad football player. There's really nothing more to say tbh.

 

[Amar__]

He is just not a good football player, you can like him all you want.

 

[drdoityourself]

Just kills all momentum. Clumsy or dangerous fouls every 5 minutes. His passes are normally slow and straight at the receiving player causing attacks to lose pace. Can't believe he's a midfielder for man utd.

 

[Shimo]

Thought he actually came on and made a difference. Was quite heavily involved unlike most of the rest of the Belgium team.

Righteo. He was terrible. Was booked and missed a sitter.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Slow start, and some silly fouls, but when Belgium started playing to his strengths, Wales couldn't handle him. As we know, he's always a threat in and around the box, whether it's in the air or on the ground. He seems to pick up good positions, and was unlucky not to score. Really should have scored actually, but wasn't to me.

 

[Devil may care]

fecking horrible player, clumsy in possession and was completely clueless defensively for Wales second.

 

[SwansonsTache]

For the right PL team he could be valuable, and with the money influx we see in the league I guess we can fleece someone like Sunderland for £15m for him.

Going against the grain here
The very definition of confirmation bias, both sides of this thread (although I'm firmly on the "get rid" side)

 

[dichinero]

And some want him to start for us? Sabotage fans!

I would love you to tell me where I'm wrong in my piece of text.
