Excellent article. Completely agree with everything in there. I made the same point about Chelsea not relying on the striker for shooting a few times last season; good to see it being backed up by numbers.

Please get back on topic. Rational posts like that do NOT belong in this thread!

The press conference is usually streamed live on the official YouTube channel. Great to see Jose creating a good relation with Eden. Not too sure about the whole Eddie thing, though..

Brilliant analysis, but when I read the title, all I could think of was: "Why would you want to do that?! "

Doing well, but we've missed you around here. How are you doing, Meera?

Even at Arsenal he'd be a squad player at best with Arteta and Wilshere around.

Mate, he was about to join QPR but Fullham hijacked the deal. If he's better than Fullham, what top team would he a starter for, then?

@Joey7Barton Can someone take the helium of Carragher for the after the match stuff. Dogs all over England standing to attention every time he speaks...

Not sure why he's better than Fullham. He's an average player who had one above average season in 10-11. I think he could indeed have made a decent squad player here, but I can't see him anywhere near the Tottenham starting XI right now with all the Central Midfielders they have.

Bump.

I'm not questioning Fellaini's footballing ability but rather his ability to fit into united's system. I know he sees himself as a defensive midfielder, but he offers so much more in a more advanced role as his biggest assets are his physical abilities and particularly his ability to win aerial duels by controlling the ball or knocking it down to a teammate. The central midfielders at united usually don't get forward as much as Fellaini does. Their roles , instead is to get the ball to the wings or play it over the defense to the strikers after winning it back. And I think Fellaini will be average at best at that. He's not the best passer around, especially when it comes to short passing. And although he uses his strength incredibly well in defense, he's a bit slow and is no where near as tactically disciplined as as the midfielders united are used to having. Anyways, back to Rooney..

Lmaoooooo

Can we get back on topic, please?

Can't wrap my head around their interest in Fellaini. Unless Moyes want's to change their whole offensive set up.

Hey, I haven't watched the 4th yet. Don't spoil it!

Yeah, of course.

You can coordinate between each other. One can do the preview and the other the report, if you want. Not sure what you mean, mate..

Well, on the other hand, I'm fine with Electrons having a probabilistic existence, but you will never know where an electron is Two can play this game

Haha best thing in the world. In fact, this conversation probably isn't even happening!

So what? Realism is load of nonsense, anyway

So, who's doing this one, guys?
