Rumoured Marouane Fellaini

[Clevemayer 764]

brilliant, brilliant display from him, very exceptional a one in 100 game for many footballers, his finest display I've ever seen.

if he was play'n like that every game he would be a world beater, a very decent player but doesn't play THAT well very often imho... but he played no DM this time around he played more as an CAM... but he did well his areal threat was very good against an ageing scholes and an reduced Utd defense...

Do people actually realize that if we get Fellaini now, we won't be using him in the role that makes him so effective for Everton at the moment?! He was totally average when David Moyes previously played him in a deeper role!

His best performance in a Everton shirt was the 4-4 draw vs United at old trafford and then he played in the double pivot mate

Nice, nice, a Belgian helping out other PL Belgians

[Clevemayer 764]

but you have to admit that jagielka was meking some outstanding tackles back there in defence...

No he didn't. Neville and Gibson did. Fellaini played in the more attacking role as a CAM/second striker like he did tonight against United. He ain't gonna be playing that role if he comes here.

he played off the striker in that game too.

I told you bastards months ago how good he is, listen to me more. also we have no need to sell him so try your luck next year.

Really guys? Damn i must have bad memory, or just something i read. Either way i trust you guys

He would fit perfectly in this Chelsea team, and our midfield would be more complete.

This 4-3-2-1 could really work:

Hazard - Mata

Lampard/Ramires - Fellaini - Oscar

[Hutcho 8,443]

Though tbh even if they would sell him to us, his price tag would have just shot up from 15 mil to 30 mil, especially when they found out we want him. Also fellani gets to play how he wants at everton and be the star, go up then drop deep etc, here he would have to be much more disciplined and it wouldn't get the best out of him... With the exception of monetary reasons it wouldn't be a great decison by fellaini too be honest, but would love to have him... Also could chuck him up front and use him as a target man if we are chasing a game... Doubt greatly we are linked to him or it will happen.

He would be a great addition for our midfield, I've always rated him high. Him and Mikel would do wonders with Mata, Hazard and Marin in front of them.

Who knows, we did pull out Marin transfer out of nowhere...

I'm surprised how underrated he is here by some people. I've been impressed with Marouane for 2 seasons now.

Hopefully some of you changed your mind about his quality now. Yes, he has played in an advanced position which is vastly different then the one in defensive midfield is, but it is evident that he is a beast in air, has amazing stamina and work rate while he managed to send out some nice passes while being under massive pressure.

I would put him ahead of any of our players in the defensive midfield in a milisecond.

Would rather have Yaya Toure even thou it would never happen....

Are we linked with him or people are just using this topic to discuss his skills?

[Jype 6,398]

I've always rated him highly but a couple months ago I still thought we'd have no use for him. Seeing our midfield during pre-season and the first two competitive games, I've changed my mind and I think one new midfielder could be needed to complete the whole package. Fellaini is of course one of the possibilities if we were to buy someone, but sadly I can't see Everton selling him anymore, having sold Rodwell only a week ago. Or even if they did want to sell, the fee would have to be something out of this world and I think we'd be better off going after another target. Wouldn't hurt to try though, maybe we could get lucky in the negotiations.

We were sort of linked him in July, but the answer to your question would be the second one.

He is not better player than Mikel definitely, I'm not sure about Oriol and his condition at the moment but I think when he is at his best he is also better than Fellaini.

We don't *need* him, but if he can be let go for, say under 10 mil, why not? We're in six competitions this season, after all. I wonder what he's priced at...
