Rumoured Marouane Fellaini

[The only place to be 11,313]

But who should be dropped to facilitate him? I think if he is bought he should be played the postion that he excels in which seems to be further up the pitch.

Mikel or Ramires.

We should buy Moussa Sissoko. French users could tell more about him. Watched him once, he was great.

You watched him once and you're willing to recommend him?

[Corner 456]

-----------Cech----------

Azpi---Luiz--Terry--Cole

------Mikel--Oscar------

Mata----Fellaini--Hazard

----------Falcao----------

Taking Mata out of the No.10 position to accommodate Fellaini, doesn't make much sense to me. Fellaini may be good, but he's not that good. I also don't think Mikel should be dropped for him either, that seems like madness to me. Especially after handing Mikel a five-year contract.

Notice the trollface.

I think someone posted a great looking lineup yesterday that looked like a diamond formation.

Mikel just in front of the back 4 with Fellaini and Ramires partnered centrally, Mata and Hazard in free roles behind Falcao.

Ah, my apologies!

Should buy both Fellaini AND Shawcross... that'd make an entertaining locker room.

They'd prob end up best friends though.

Apparently Zenit's been shit with Hulk and Witsel due to disharmony within the squad. The other players feel wronged that Witsel and Hulk make much more than them. Maybe they'll want to offload one of them? Just a thought.

racism issues as well. maybe we can put in a cheeky bid for him

[Beepu 1,714]

^worth a try. But how much did Zenit paid for him??? 40m??? doubt they'd take half of what they paid for.

[TrippingStep 336]

But in the role I see Fellaini playing, he actually has to drop back into defence and become a third centre-half at times, like Busquets at Barca. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved us to pick up Cabaye a few years ago for £5 million but I think the club have a type of player in mind for certain positions (look at Chalobah and Loftus-Cheek, or even Ake in the reserves/academy) and Fellaini fits that.

Capoue would be more suited.

Fellani is a no brainer... just buy him already!

[communicate 2,703]

My question for fellaini is where do you want to play him.

His only role in our team is in mikel role unless we plan to offload him, there is no reason to purchase another dm
