bababoom 4,478 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Here's the L'Equipe page. http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Fellaini-vers-chelsea/341014 Foot - Transfers:Fellaini to ChelseaFellaini should leave Everton. To move to Chelsea or MU? (Reuters) Frank Lampard on the start looking for a Chelsea midfield. It could be Marouane Fellaini. The Belgian international is expected to sign 25 years in five European champion in the week. The player, who bring in 27 million to Everton, would gain five million euros monthly. Manchester United dream yet to match the supply of Blues to win the piece. (Some bits don't make sense, shitty translator, also i assume the five million euros monthly is an error or false) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester United dream yet to match the supply of Blues to win the piece. (Some bits don't make sense, shitty translator, also i assume the five million euros monthly is an error or false) It's what it says in the article though: "With Frank Lampard leaving the club, Chelsea are looking for a central midfielder. It could be Marouane Fellaini. The 25-year old Belgian international would sign a 5-year contract with the European Champions this week. The player, who would bring in 27 million euros to Everton, would make five million euros each month there. Man Utd ponders about matching the Blues' offer to secure the deal." 60 million a year? Definitely an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have meant a year, that would amount to around 100k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yes! Pumped for this. He will be a very good signing and will add much needed power and strength to our side. Our team is improving so much in such a short time. This window is shaping up to be a good one ---Fellaini----Ramires------Moses--Mata---Hazard-------------Ba--------------Awesome.

BlueSunshine 672 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 For 27 million euros i say that it's quite a good deal. It doesn't matter if some people believe he is better as an attacking midfielder than a defensive one, the fact is that we don't have a midfielder with his qualities and i think that he will complement our creative but weak style of play. He is also at the perfect age and he won't need time to adapt, just like Ba so i say bring him in.P.S. They clearly made a mistake about his wages, maybe they wanted to say five million each year which is like 100,000 per month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I hope this is true. Beyond his technical skills and his strength, I love the fact that he's not one to shy away. He can impose himself on games whereas someone like Mikel needs people around him to play well rather than driving the play on himself. He needs to learn a bit of self-control but I like a bit of nastiness in that position. Plus he's a goal threat from midfield. We all laugh about Mikel's 200-something games without a goal and it's really not one of the main things he's asked to do, but with all the tools at his disposal (his height in particular) you'd expect the occasional one.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'd be happy enough with him coming in. Good solid player. Still not sure how true it all is tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Him and Ramires will just run down opposing teams. Just imagine it. Plus, we've got goals all over the park now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Williams 166 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (not sure if mentioned before) but imagine him and Luiz in the pivot, no team could handle that combination of hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Are you going to be one of those people who moans that we should buy Benat (AKA Flavour of the Month) instead? Fellaini is the flavour of the month for me. I can't comment on Beñat vey much because the La Liga coverage in Australia is shit. All I know about him is that he is good with a FK and has great long passing skills. I've never rated Fellaini. He is a damn terrible passer of the ball.

He is a damn terrible passer of the ball.We've been scouting Fellaini for over 3 years now. He's proven himself in this league. I also think his passing skills are tremendously overrated. But having looked at the statistics I do see your point.Fellaini the terrible passer has a completion rate of 78.1%Benat (with the 'great long passing skills') has a completion rate of 79.3%.But to his credit that extra 1.2% of passes that actually reach their target have created an extra 2 assists. Plus Fellaini's oft-criticised aggression is a black mark against his name.....except Benat does seem to have DOUBLE the yellow cards against his name (10).Now I'm the first to point to the flaws in statistics, but come on.
