KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I myself think Luiz is not much better at DM than he is at CB. Started out good but he has failed to impress me the last few games. Play De Bruyne next to Fellaini.-----Fellaini-----KDB------Oscar---Mata---Hazard---------------Ba---------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play De Bruyne next to Fellaini.-----Fellaini-----KDB------Oscar---Mata---Hazard---------------Ba----------------Brilliant, that's what I would like to see. Seriously, that should work!Lamps will leave in the summer, but then we would still have Ramires and Luiz for one of the two spots, and Luiz can still fight for the CB position. Oscar would also be able to fit in if needed (instead of KDB maybe) but he would also be in competition for the positions behind Ba/Torres (obviously). Beside that we would have Mikel who could rotate with Fellaini for the muscle presenceAnd I've not even mentioned all of our players.With KDB and Fellaini the squad would finally make sense imo and we would have very good depth. .

You forgot Romeu.Next Year, for CM: Fellaini, Ramires, Mikel, Romeu, KDB and ocassionally Luiz. That's the sort of depth a club of our level should have.

Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 because he has such a nice fro? You don't see that fro- quality a lot these days :-) Can you just imagine the wig-sale augmentation? On a serious not: even in a possesion based team we could use a powerhouse like him - this is EPL not la liga. But then again: he is less quality in build up and tends to be sloppy tactically/positionally. So I will postpone a definite verdict on him. It could go both ways like I sais: good or really bad. We already have Luiz for that .The thing is buying Fellaini will solve nothing. Fellaini + a DLP will leave us far to exposed as Fellaini isn't disciplined enough to play as a holding midfielder and Fellaini + DM doesn't give us a creative outlet. So we're going to have the same problems we've had this season.I see him as an upgraded Ramires. 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 You forgot Romeu.Next Year, for CM: Fellaini, Ramires, Mikel, Romeu, KDB and ocassionally Luiz. That's the sort of depth a club of our level should have.Mikel, Romeu, Fellaini - 'destroyer'Oscar, McEachran, KDB - playmakerRamires - floater.I think Fellaini could be our Busquets. The guy who just picks the ball up from the keeper or centre-half, brings it forward and lays it off to Oscar or Mata. He'd be the out ball, but in games where we're dominating (like QPR) he'd be an excellent presence in the opposition box. He'd be another target at set-pieces and he also offers a threat from long-range (unlike Mikel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Unfortubately I sense KDB will be sent on another loan and won't be used as a CM for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If he's coming as a CDM, especially for this price, i dont agree with this move but whatever.... but if he comes as our new CM- i would stop watching our games for some time... at least thats what i would want to do.

That's the sort of depth a club of our level should have.I'll post this now so you can book mark it. KDB will NEVER play for us and Mikel will leave, probably next season, as he will get less game time and be down the pecking order.Same goes for Josh and a number of other bright young things, Gael K etc etcOur CM will be Fellaini, Ramires and at least 1 young brazillian no ones ever heard of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 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.And who will pass the ball up the pitch? who will control our game? unbelievable how some fans dont see our biggest problem (after we got a stiker).

DanishBlue 426 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Nadav - So who would you go for instead? (be realistic about the targets please). What would work better? I'm not saying that Fellaini would be a good buy (actually I have my concerns) but I think it's hard to find the right combination and actually get the target for a good price.

Pizy 18,963 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Mikel will leave just months after signing a 5 year extension?Similarly to the Isco rumor, I just can't see why so many people are opposed to this potential move. He absolutely manhandled Man United earlier this year winning every header, boxing out defenders, and looked like a man amongst boys on every setpiece and corner. I remember in both the Spurs and Arsenal games we completely dominated their midfields physically, and that was with Mikel. Cazorla was basically invisible. Imagine introducing this monster.I think anything in the 25m or below range is a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go aroung any top team right now, and i dont mean City and UTD that we saw they arent better than us when it comes to play the realy strong teams of Europe, they all have this player and thats a big reason we are behind them and we will be behind them if we wont bring one ourselves.

bushman 2,043 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Personally, if one compares for 22m & Isco for 17m I would take Fellaini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
