Also take it with a grain of salt, but Cadena Ser have big updates for tomorrow in regards to the Bale transfer. It seems Bale have made up his mind now, and that he is really pushing for the transfer, and that he could join up with the rest of the squad on the US tour even.

But of course there's a bunch of different reports. Both AS and Marca write like it's about hours, while Marca seem to base their report on Daily Mail. Also EC reports Perez and Levy have an appointment on August 6.

Who knows who got sources, it might run until August 31 lol.

Imagine my lack of surprise and excitement.

Edit: Bet it'll be for £20+ million too.

I dont want faillaini

What's wrong with Fellaini? He'd be our best CM after Carrick and is a significant improvement on every other midfielder we have in our squad.

Signing Fellaini wouldn't mean we've given up on signing a creative midfielder. From everything we've heard, Moyes is looking for a strong, defensive capable midfielder and an attacking, creative midfielder.

Can't abide people saying they don't want Fellaini in a CM that had Anderson and Giggs.

All accounts say we're looking for two midfielders. If Fellaini's one of them, I'm happy.

I hope not! Dortmund in this state and with those players is important for Bundesliga. Bayern can only improve if Dortmund stays that strong. But Gündogan hasnt extended his contract yet, so he is probably waiting... But Cesc wont leave

Gündogan said in an interview he thinks it's funny that the media writes about how it's taking so long with his new contract and he's probably just waiting to get out. He said he and Zorc has met once last week and will meet again this week, so it's not taking long.

We'll see what happens, though. There has been certain guys that left while saying similiar things.

When Spurs signed Bale, they agreed to a 15 per cent sell-on clause. Although that was bought out by Spurs for £1.5m during a financial crisis at St Mary’s in 2007, FIFA solidarity clauses add to the complexity of their proposed bid.

Any club developing homegrown players between the age of 12 and 23 are entitled to up to five per cent of the transfer fee if the player subsequently moves to another team. Because Bale was on Southampton’s books between the ages of 12 and 17, they will be entitled to a mini windfall on a pro-rata basis of around £2m.

Well I hope he learns not to use his elbow as much then, cause if he keeps doing that, added to playing for us = red cards all year long. That and he better learn how to pass a ball.

Out of all the belgian midfielders, he's the worst. (those who play for the national team obviously )

 

[D_prOdigy]

It's Pepe.

go to City, Pepe, their transfer activity so far has been depressingly non-hilarious.

 

[pappe]

At this point i will be glad if we signed ANY CM. Be it Fellaini or Fabregas or Gundogan or Cabab.

Any of those guys are an improvement to what we currently have in CM bar Carrick.

A Fellaini-Carrick midfield is too slow and cumbersome. Fucking definition of clank.

You can be a defensive minded midfielder and also have a bit of dynamism.

I think Fellaini's relatively nimble and technically adept; his frame doesn't tell the whole story.

But we're in for one more anyway. Keep the faith.

Nothing wrong with Fellaini. At least it will add a little depth to our midfield. And god knows that is something we need badly.

 

[bud]

fellaini can be technical, but 99% of the time he is not.

i don't think adding fellaini in midfield would change a whole lot, if anything at all.

It would give us more of a physical presence in the middle, make us more of a threat at set pieces, would promise goals from midfield, and would be an improvement on what we currently have.

[Wilbur]

The only ones in the league that could afford it, are a step up from Liverpool and actually need it are us, Arsenal and arguably Chelsea.

The latter have Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Essien, van Ginkel and Luiz who can all play where Fellaini does so I can understand. Arsenal are going all in for Suarez and seemingly ignoring their problems in goalkeeper, defence and midfield so you can't really take too much stock in their lack of interest.

Fellaini cost Everton 15m and he's proven to be worth it for that. The way I look at it is that it's not my money, that at least spending some money would show some intent, and that Fellaini's true worth isn't far off the release clause. We can't moan that he's too expensive and then moan that we won't spend 45/50m on Fabregas. We have the resources to do both; if we're not going to do one I definitely want us to do the other.

Yep. Depressing.

French signings should have bedded in a little more though. Yanga-Mbiwa looked better the more the season went on. No Europa league this year as well.

Pards, despite being a cunt, clearly isn't a bad manager overnight; 5th place attests to that. Some awful injuries last year, tough European runs on a small squad and naivety when it comes to bedding in lots of new players. Maybe just coaching will help him.

We have money to blow. 24m is not a big deal at the end of the day. Plus, it's certainly better than signing another left back.

We only have Anderson and Cleverley to sit alongside Carrick. Fellaini is an improvement.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Fellaini's good. He's a pretty good CM to get at the moment.

Hopefully we'll get someone later though, but having him can give us a chance in retaining the title.

Fellaini would be a great signing for Man Utd. His name might not be as big as Fabregas, but I think yuo'd kill it with him as a DM. I wouldn't mind seeing that cunt in our central midfield.

He'd also make Cisse watch over his shoulder and probably put some more effort in, seeing as we have to unfortunately keep that little spenk.

[Billy Big Bollocks]

Fellaini must be a great player to play with if you are a defender or a goalkeeper as all you have to do is ping the ball at the easily spottable afro and chances are he will take the ball down and start an attack.

[Vivalaraza]

Fellaini and Carrick as a midfield combination wouldn't be too bad. Defensively at least it would be far more solid than what we have now where Anderson gets tired after 45 minutes, Giggs is negligent in his defending and Cleverley is a combination of both.

Wouldn't have too much going forwards but through 07-09 United played with a duo of deep midfielders quite regularly combining Carrick/Scholes/Hargreaves.

The thing was whilst they would sit deep and provide a solid platform for the team we had real star quality in our front 4. That just isn't the case anymore. It could be workable if our wingers found form again but that's a big if.

Anyhow Fellaini would be good for us, but it's been clear all along we needed two midfielders. Carrick is 32 remember.
