Rumoured Marouane Fellaini

[Stats 7,142]

Was excellent tonight in the CM role against Arsenal tonight. Dominated the game and made his fair share of interceptions.

Love him me, would love him here.

Someone needs to remind him that he's playing the British, not American, type of football!

Very surprised - Was excellent in the DM role tonight

ME NO WANT HIM HERE, HE'S HIGHLY OVERRATED.

[The only place to be 11,313]

84% pass completion, 4 interceptions and a team high 7 tackles for the people who care about stats.

Looked like he gave a shit about his club, his teammates and the supporters for 90 minutes for the people who care about such things.

Obviously a sly dig at Mikel.

He played well in the DM role yes, but his best performances this season and last season have come when he's been deployed forward. One game won't change my opinion about him.

So you've only seen him play one game in the DM position? That's interesting.

Oh, and it was a fairly obvious dig at Mikel.

My opinion is based on the fact that I've seen him play there more than a couple of times. What I'm saying is that one good game at DM wont change my opinion about him playing as a DM for us.

I wouldn't expect one good game to change anyone's mind. The thing is from my perspective this was another good game at DM and a performance that showed heart and passion. Obviously I don't have a chart or stat for heart and passion so it's not really important to some fans.

Fellaini is a good player...for Everton. Our midfield needs to get a lot better and I don't see how buying him does that. People complain about Mikel's lack of mobility but Fellaini has the same issue. He is definitely NOT the passing playmaker that we all want either so what is the point? We can do a lot better than Fellaini.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Oh, I don't dislike him. In fact I think he is cracking as a physical attacking midfielder. But there isn't that much room for another attacking mid at Chelsea. What I believe is that he is an average defensive midfielder and does not fit Chelsea's needs at the moment.

Still think he is an average passer, I was being hyperbolic in my original post.

I don't care if you don't reply. But saying that I'd appreciate it if you never ever fucking assume what I don't and do know. If there is one thing that pisses me off is when people assume things about me, whether it be personal or otherwise.

Fellaini would fit in perfect with Mikel in the double pivot. Also in something like this:

Ramires - Mikel

Fellaini

Mata ----------Hazard

Ba

That's terrible. It's basically the same midfield that everyone seems to have a problem with in Ramires/Mikel. Where's Oscar?

Fellaini is a decent player but he's not needed here. We need true a playmaker in midfield.

we have had great midfields in the past without having a true playmaker.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't go for one. Almost every top team has one in their side.
