Rumoured Marouane Fellaini

[OneMoSalah 8,885]

meh.

it might've help us tonight if mikel has technique and can score, at least.

If Torres would hit the target it would help us. Mikel isn't in the team to score goals.

He cant destroy midfield or be deep playmaker!

Fuck for 30 mio we would get some wanabe CM that actualy plays CAM!

Double pivot is pair of;

1.) Strong, pacey DM who can tackle, intercept and sometimes shots from long distance. But he always plays in midfield, never in attack (examples; Essien, De Rossi)

2.) Creative CM who can tackle as well, but his role is to dictate the midfield. Must be inteligent, mark the midfield and be great passer. Long and short passes (Modric, Ever Banega, Benat,...)

Sure there are mixes like Xabi Alonso or Vidal (destructor and playmaker)

But tell me, what is fellaini? He is not great tackler, nor playmaker. He cant pass, he cant shot from distance, he is not great interceptor, not creative etc.) He is just tall and whole Everton team plays on him and obviously he scores some goals since he plays instead on CM/DM position, CAM or second striker. Got it? And nowhere near worth 30mio. He doesnt fit this team either. He is not inteligent to dictate midfield, disciplined to be DM and we dont need another Cam. My opinion.

What is Fellaini? The kind of useful player that could walk in to most teams in the world and do well. No idea why he's so underrated on this board. He might not be the most gracious player to look at but claiming he doesn't pass well is ridiculous.

He's almost unplayable when he has a good day, his chest control is arguably the best you're gonna see in football, he's a really good header of the ball and for a big lad with such a weird looking physique he's remarkably good with his feet as well.

I've got a feeling you haven't actually seen him play often.

Wether he fits in to the way Chelsea plays at the moment is something entirely different.

Torres made 4 goals from 20 shots.

Average good striker already has 50-60 shots and obviously more goals.

The point is that Torres doesnt shots enough. More shots, more goals and eventualy better difference with more confidence.

Actualy there are two simple reasons:

-He wont fit this team

-He is NOT worth 30mio

He is actualy good player, but we dont need such kind of expensive player.

[Weckerz 3,781]

Fair enough

I'd take him over Mikel as a DM in a heartbeat. Perhaps I'm biased. dno.

sure, just play mata, hazard, oscar for the whole season. they're barely getting rested so far.

Marin, Lamps, Moses could all play the part too. Its RDM problem not to play them enough.

still would love to sign him, to add depth and dimension to our squad.

[Shogun 721]

hahah Seb you're way off but I'm jot going to big him as I'd rather he stayed at Everton.

[The Skipper 20,609]

meh.

Why the hell are you looking for your DM to score goals? That's ridiculous.

[The Skipper 20,609]

You don't understand what's Fellaini's role. A DM has to commit more than 110 fouls a season, most of its 20 yards from his own goal, that's it.

Sarcasm right?

Me too, but not for 30mio lol...

Go back a page and look at the stats I posted, ones of Felliaini behind the striker then the ones of him playing as a CM. He'd be a shit CM for us, far too sloppy. Especially in a team whose emphasis is on possession.

There is a huge difference in class between the players Chelsea put out on the field, and a team like Everton. When you have better players to play with, you are able to play better. You think passing to Mata, Hazard, Oscar and Torres is the same as what hes doing over there? No.

Its hardly fair to judge a player on a far worse team with a simple head to head of stats. Going by a simple eye test I can tell Fellaini has been 3 times as good as Mikel this season.

He's hardly sloppy, hes great on the ball, and he looks to move the ball forward far more than Mikel.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

He isnt what we need at the moment, and especially not for that pricetag.

[Thor 2,691]

Asking the ball and winning aerial challenges against Michael Carrick was such an oustanding achievement for the 1st game of the season. So was sending the ball onto the Hawthorns' roof 2 yards away from the open goal at WBA several weeks after. But nobody was there to say it.

Mata has missed more sitters than Torres this season, yet we hear nothing on this board about it. But its easy to make things look bad when you're selective with your criticism.
