How many of our players are good enough to play for Man u/man c/chelsea first xi?

[tim cahill]

Well probably why u should of noticed I put (on form) in my post.

Bottom 3?? That's a bit of an exaggeration IMO. And tbf he's not been playing overly bad just not slotting enough.

I did notice, but you could say the same about someone like Darren Bent. The fact is he hasn't had that form for a long time.

I disagree. He's been losing possession too much.

Fellaini and Baines would walk into ANY top CL team and keep their place. And we have a clutch of players like Jagielka, Mirallas, Pienaar who could acquit themselves in our top PL teams. We haven't had this quality of player for decades.

 

[ijjysmith]

I'm not sure

 

[bignev23]

For me Baines is the only one that would deffo get into into them. Fellaini maybe.Jags is a good defender but is a bit of a hoofer.They'd get games because of squad rotation but may not be first choice.

 

[nigelcoyb]

Baines is the only definite.

You need to do it week in week out at the clubs mentioned, Fellaini is inconsistent he'd end up being a squad player like Lescott and Pienaar.

I dont know mate, how many of Man City/United/Chelsea 'stars' do the business week in, week out better than Fellaini? He's one of the top midfielders in the country without a shadow of a doubt.

I gotta agree with Davek here. Teams wouldn't be willing to pay £25m plus for Fellaini if they thought he'd just be a squad player

.............it'll be interesting how many of our players get in the PFA team. I suspect it might only be Baines, although I agree with sentiments about Jags and Fellaini. If you consider international representation Baines and Jags have been treated poorly in recent tournaments with both left out for the likes of Warnock, Kelly and Carragher. Amazing really that Jags in particular has kept his own counsel after such disappointments and keeps turning and rarely letting anybody down when he's played for England.
Strayed from theme a bit there, but we have lads who could play for most of the top sides.

 

[nigelcoyb]

Don't get me wrong I rate Felli but he does have these games when he's dreaming about Belgian Truffles undoubtedly he could be immense. The 25m thing is neither here nor there for theses clubs.

I wouldn't be too sure with Fellaini tbf. The rich teams can pay that sort of money for a squad player. Fellaini is diferent than anyone else out there and can play a few posistions in midfield. I certainly don't think Chelsea would sign him as a certain starter week after week.

I think he may find himself playing different roles a lot aswell as his fair share on the bench.

When he's gone, we'll look back at Fellaini's time here and wonder how we managed to keep hold of him for so long. He's a monumental talent. The only thing he's not got in his locker is a killer forward pass. All those other players you see getting the plaudits in CL: the Schweinsteigers and Busquets and Prince-Boatengs - he's easily in that category and will prove it in the next two seasons and beyond..

Spot on, he's on another level to the Tommy Gravs and Arteta's

Fellaini's being asked to do specific tactical jobs at Everton, I think he's really a box to box type though.

That's the rumour doing clubland i've been told...

 

[Ihaters]

Fellaini and Baines would walk into any team, Jags may be able to fight his way in, that is probably it.

 

[Walken]

Felli and Baines the obvious ones, then a few others depending on which team and their strengths, to be honest there arent many better right backs than Coleman at the moment
