I find him overrated, I don't understand what makes the hype around him to be honest

http://www.rtbf.be/s...ball&type=video

Nothing for the moment from Chelsea, he's happy at Everton but if a big offer comes he'll have a look on it

Well, he is not turning heads like some other players, but he is a good quality DM. Really strong, good in air and his ball distribution is alright. It's down to what formation we will play next season and which players will leave. If we decide to play a 4-2-3-1 with 2 strong DMs then perhaps we will go for Fellaini. Perhaps we will want a different kind of midfielder who is turned more to creativity and technique or perhaps we won't go for a midfielder at all.

If we do sign Fellaini for something reasonable - 12m max then it would be a good transfer in my eyes. If not, well...not my money.

The reason I want Fellaini is because he's tall as hell. We lost a lot of height with Drogba and with all the midgets we have now, we are very short and weak. We need that tall guy who can win some headers in the middle of the park, otherwise we're stuck with just one way of play, always have a plan B. Fellaini is a one man Plan B like Drogba, of course not as good, but at least he gives us that option. And the way he's played for Everton further up the pitch, he'd be great.

How about - Sign Fellaini for around £12mil (they need the cash), and loan Romeu to Everton as an instant replacement at their end.

THAT I'd be happy about. As long as Romeu gets to play.

Funny.... if they need cash doesn't mean they are stupid :D They paid 20 mil for him....so they will sell him for only 25-30 mil...plus he has 4 years remaining in his contract...

I don't think many football games are won by the height of a central or defensive midfielder. You do need some height in central defence and depending on the style you play, the striker, but it's a very minimal advantage if any in midfield. Makalele is 5'7" and probably the best defensive midfielder we've ever had. Didier Deschamps had an incredible career and is 5'8" Dunga might be the best defensive midfielder ever and isn't even 5'10".

No I don't mean we need a tall defensive midfielder, not at all. My point is that our TEAM needs some kind of aerial threat in the midfield/forward line. Nowhere did I say that a defensive midfielder has to be tall to be good.

When we had those average height defensive mid or center mids, we had height elsewhere in the midfield/forward line to compensate. Our team needs some height, and Fellaini addresses that.

And finally, #CFC are looking to sign either Fellaini or Cabaye... Expect one to end up at #Chelsea soon. No bids made yet.

Doubtful, my friend. Felllaini joined the Toffees for 16m.

In Cabaye's position we have Lampard and Ramiers, and in Fellaini's position we have Mikel, so no, we need the Belgium more.

What are you talking about? Ramires is not a deep lying playmaker. Frank has only recently re-invented himself as one. We have only Frank in that position and Mikel, Romeu and even Meireles/Essien for a DM spot. So no, we need the Frenchman more.
