themightyblue 443 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I Like Fellaini. Good player that can hopefully get better with age and will add to our Belgian contingency. If we can strike a good deal with everton for him in January, it'll be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyblue 443 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I was surprised we didn't sign Taarabt two years ago... Surprisingly considering he said he had contacts with Chelsea... I still don't understand. And I can't imagine he said he had contacts even if it never had been any. Would he have lied, over stating things ?Come on people, it's been 5 years he's at Everton, if he was that good he wouldn't be at Everton for a long time...A lot of people really started to take notice of Fellaini (ability wise) from around winter time last season. Well at least i did anyway. The guy is still only 24 and he's been at Everton that long because he just wasn't good enough in his early years, was very raw, bit too aggressive etc. Also your painting out Everton as though there a bad side. There League finished have been 5th, 5th, 8th, 7th, 7th in the last 5 years. No one ever says Fellaini is 'world class' or anything like that, majority say he's a good player which he is and like i said earlier is only 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I think Fellaini is a good player, but where does he fit?. He's not a deep-lying midfielder and he's not a defensive midfielder so Chelsea get him and then what? So far this season, he's been playing a very attacking role, sort of like a #10 which is absolutely the last thing Chelsea need. You can't just keep buying players just because they're good.

In all 3 games, he played behind the striker. (Check out soccernet's excellent "average position" in "tactical formation" in gamecast for proof of this). In fact, against ManU, he played as far forward as Jelavic. Had a look at some games from last year as well, and I wasn't really a defensive midfielder then either. Rodwell played that roll. He was more of a box to box central midfielder (IMO, what he's best suited for). Good player, just doesn't fit Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bother to look at Everton games in the past 2-3 season where he is being played at DM, you can see that he is pretty average and certainly not the same Fellaini right now. He's not mobile enough and tends to be clumsy with his challenges, which can lead to giving oppositions free kicks in dangerous areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 If you still think Fellaini is a DM you've obviously completely ignored him over the last few seasons. He doesn't play that role anymore. Might make a rare appearance as one but the majority of his appearances have been behind the striker or just as a pure B2B midfielder.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 He seems like good player, but I have feeling that he is someone who can stand out in smaller club, but wont proceede at bigger clubs. Great stats, but he just isnt top class. And never worth 25mio. If Song was 19, he is max 15. End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 So everyone thinks we should sign Fellaini again, great. Just sign all the players playing well that don't suit our formation, you go girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
