Fellaini

They're clueless mate. Some seem to think he's just a target man for the ball to be lumped up to, unaware of his defensive attributes(which I think are his best tbh).

Good anyway, I'd like for the rest of the world to underestimate him so we get to keep him for as long as possible.
 

suits me if the bigger teams think this, that means we can keep him. To us he's priceless as he is 3 top players rolled into one. Teams like united already have those 3 players albeit literally 3 people. We cant afford to sell him

I had a perusal of some random forums and the general consensus seems to be that most neutrals are rating him as highly as us now, or almost.

Some blerts on a Chelsea forum being plastic entitled nobs as always.

Sland fans being largely sound and continuing to bum Felli (they've had a big thread on him there for ages after he bummed them in a game a while ago).

Arsenal fans loving it.

Many United fans seem to rate him to be honest.

The one thing I hate though is the vehemently argued opinions you find from some neutrals that clearly don't watch him outside of the occasional Sky Sports game and MotD. I've seen a few "he's inconsistent", "he's crap at CM" and worse comments. I wish I could reach through the interwebs and slap these fools, before schooling them on Fellaini's brilliance.

Oh well. I kind of liked it when only we rated Fellaini. It made me feel more sure that he wouldn't leave us.
 

I cannot understand for the life of me how fans and pundits alike think Fellaini is just a big, physical carthorse who bullies games. He's one of the most technically gifted midfielders in the league.

United don't have a midfielder anywhere close to him (except, of course, Scholes but given his age we can exclude him from comparison). The stupidity at RedCafe is almost mind boggling but, to be fair, at least a few of them talk sense.

I dont think you can compare him to scholes. Scholes can't dominate a scrappy game when the ball is pinging around in the air over people's heads. Because MF is so tall and fabulous at dragging the ball out of the air with chest or feet (which prob makes him look gangly but normal people wouldn't even get a foot on some of the balls felli drags down) I'd have felli any day over scholes. I would say the only player I'd have over felli is toure (the good one)
