Would hardly say Romeu has played bad for us since coming here, he played two or three games this year under Robbie and Rafa. Under AVB he was one of our best midfielders so to judge him on 2 or 3 games is rather harsh compared to the 20 odd he played under AVB.

Anyway how highly do you rate Sven Bender? Is he better than Lars? I think one of them would be good for our pivot.

they are both kinda at a smiliar level. but lars was playing more and sven was more often injured and he had more competition (kehl) than lars. futhermore lars is more versaitle, as he can also play right-back (he played for germany in the european championship). both are decent midfielders, while I think Lars is slightly better at the moment.

Marouane Fellaini committed to Everton

MAROUANE FELLAINI has handed incoming boss Roberto Martinez a huge boost by pledging his future to Everton.

He said: “My destiny lies at Everton. It’s as simple as that. We’re talking about one of the biggest clubs in England.

“The foundations and framework are in place and the manager’s departure doesn’t change anything for me. I’m not staying for the sake of stability ahead of the World Cup – it’s because I think Everton have exciting challenges ahead.”

Looks like he is going to stay.

In the past Fellaini has said his destiny lies with a Champions League club...now he's saying that he's committed to Everton.

He's just scared that he won't be a guaranteed starter at United...

Arsenal have activated Marouane Fellaini's £22m release clause (Times) [Note: Fellaini signed a pre-contract with #CFC in January]

Why would Arsenal want him? They aready have fucking awesome midfield. If they could invest 22M plus some more on a worldclass striker, plus on a decent rightback they could be title challengers.

No, they really really don't. They got some good midfielders for sure but it's pretty shit when they don't have a single player who can take out a player when needed and fight a little, as it is now they are often completely exposed in front of their defense which admittedly isn't great either but is also barely getting any help at time, a player like Fellaini would be fucking perfect for Arsenal and I hope they don't get him.

Even if arsenal did buy fellini. I highly doubt it is to play in midfield.

Then behind the ST? I can't see Wenger playing him there unless he decides to just hoof the ball up to Fellaini and exploit his aerial and physical ability. The latter is the main reason why he has excelled in that role. Otherwise, he doesn't fit Wenger's bill in terms of the technical, quick, crafty kind of player. If anything, he's probably buying Fellaini to play him as a DM, where Arsenal needs a bit of an enforcer in there.

imo, Fellaini's best position is just behind the striker, and arsenal lack some physicality there. So Fellaini behind someone like walcott who will run off him will be quite effective. Could be wrong, but i don't see him in DM.

But the issue is that Fellaini is not suited to play there in a team like Arsenal with his lack of technical ability. And not to mention, he's slow and immobile. Doubt Wenger would want to play him behind ST.

It makes no sense to have all of the same vareity of players. Just behind that would be players like Wilshere who are more technicallly gifted. Arsenal are quite one dimesional and another option up there would be useful for them. Used effectively it could be a great big man/quick man combo with Men running off of him, and fellaini's hold up play.

He'd be less of a liability behind the striker...cause the last thing Arsenal wants is a slow player jogging around as a DM.

Also, Fellaini would add variety to Arsenal's attack...they lack an aerial threat up front..

All in All..it came to me as quite a shock that Arsenal were interested in Fellaini...I'd be surprised if he isn't wearing an Everton jersey next season.

Yes, it makes no sense but Wenger has always been a stubborn man and likes a certain type of players he likes to go with his style of play. I agree that buying Fellaini will give them a different option upfront but think he would be used in DM instead, as opposed to CAM/behind the ST. Arsenal lack a DM, or a supposed DM in their pivot.
