Worst scout ever
yo.
that's the worst thing ever written.With the Schneidermidfield brought in for dough
LVG must now be the know
that from the first eleven we must let him go
Or when we hear he's benching them for the big Fro
We'll need to cut our ears off like van Gogh
that's the worst thing ever written.

Which would be stupid to imply. Van Gaal has already said e won't be using Felllaini on tour because he'll miss the first few games of the season and he needs to focus on the player he'll be using in those games.No. Commentator seemed to suggest that there as been a problem between him and Van Gaal.
Yeah, although it would seem odd if Fellaini doesnt feature at all on the tour - effectively missing preseason - when Van Gaal is so big on players getting their "match rhythm"Which would be stupid to imply. Van Gaal has already said e won't be using Felllaini on tour because he'll miss the first few games of the season and he needs to focus on the player he'll be using in those games.
But Fellaini is eligible for the CL qualification matches, so that's a bit strange.Which would be stupid to imply. Van Gaal has already said e won't be using Felllaini on tour because he'll miss the first few games of the season and he needs to focus on the player he'll be using in those games.
Ah. Good point. His complete omission so far is a little strange then.But Fellaini is eligible for the CL qualification matches, so that's a bit strange.
Perhaps, pass and move not being his strong point, he's going to be shown the door?Ah. Good point. His complete omission so far is a little strange then.
The thing is, he offers something a bit different to all of them. As a squad player I think he would be really useful to hold onto. Not many players in the league can have such a big impact coming off the bench. Depends on whether or not his salary/expectations make that an option though.Perhaps, pass and move not being his strong point, he's going to be shown the door?
We're certainly packed in CM:
Schmidfield
Carrick
Herrera
Blind
And AM:
Mata
Di Maria
Januzaj
Pereira
Rooney
Hope you posted this from your phone.My man big Fellaini! New he'd come good since the day we signed him. Think this season will be even better for him. The pressure is of him and he can just do what he does best: come on when we need some physical play.
Ye a bit pissed that he got that red card now. Apart from that, he had a really good end to the season, and it would have been hard for Van Gaal not to include in the first XI.He will probably come off the bench in one of the next few matches. I expect him to play for the U/21s to get his fitness base built up when the season starts though. That red card could really cost him, a good pre-season probbaly would have kept him his spot in the XI.
Yep. Great to have an option like him as a squad player as he's quite versatile in terms of playing in attacking positions. People on here are very quick to just jump to selling players if they aren't starting players, but there is a spot for someone like fellaini as a squad player. It's a long season so he'll get his chances.Considering this is his first bit of pre season action, I thought he did well when he come on today. Looked calm on the ball, kept the ball and got stuck in.
Not really true though, is it?Feel like we're gonna end up hoof ball to him all day long in the 2nd half of the season. Again.
Based on what?Feel like we're gonna end up hoof ball to him all day long in the 2nd half of the season. Again.
Exactly what will happen. And much before the second half the season. I can see it happening in the second half of a lot of games in the first half too.Feel like we're gonna end up hoof ball to him all day long in the 2nd half of the season. Again.
This hoofball thing with Fellaini is this weird urban myth. I dont know if you lot actually watch whats going on when he is playing. Most of the passes he makes and he receives are on the deck. Sure he is able to compete for aerial balls from the keeper etc but maybe people have the impression he is used for hoofball because he competes so often for those balls. Next game he plays my suggestion to all of you who think he is used to enable hoofball is to sit down with a pen and paper and make a note of how often he receives aerial balls and how often he receives to his feet. You all might get a rude surprise. Honestly I don wonder if people actually watch games properly and I also think there is a fair bit of confirmation bias kicking in.Exactly what will happen.

You need to re-watch the end of games last season where we were doing exactly that before calling me as someone who is 'following urban myths' or confirming to biases.This hoofball thing with Fellaini is this weird urban myth.

Sorry but we will have to agree to disagree. I was watching and counting passes with Fellaini last season when all this hoofball thing was the favourite myth repeated on here. Its why I made the comment here. I think you are completely wrong, next game he plays do the numbers.You need to re-watch the end of games last season where we were doing exactly that before calling me as someone who is 'following urban myths' or confirming to biases.
It was very much a reality last season. May be its you who needs to watch games carefully.[/QUOTE
