What?
:whistle:
well we know who to blame when this one fails
He's coming home!
Twice the player Fellaini is at half the price.
Wenger :bow:
He'll sign this week, I have it on good authority.Quote:

This would actually be a very good signing, and the sort of player we should be getting.
Gustavo Arteta
Walcott Wilshere Cazorla
Suarez
Ramsey, Chamberlain, Podolski, Giroud with a very strong bench.
Of course, that's too good for Wenger so that will never happen.

Who should I believe?
Fellaini himself who says he prefers playing DM or a 13 year old
It's a tough decision
Fellaini would be perfect for DM, big, tough, premier league toughened, good in the air. A dream DM.
No idea. Something in the water maybe. Even other Liverpool fans view it as as an asylum though...Quote:

after having a quick google search, it seems he spent most of his time playing as an attacking midfielder. even a second striker for a period of time. so you want somoene who doenst play as a defensive midfielder, over someone who is a defensive midfielder, to play defensive midfielder. rightQuote:

He has all the attributes to play as DM and as Cripps said he thinks that his best position as well. In this case yes, I've seen how good this guy is and would love him at the club.Quote:

As long as he's not a mercenary, doesn't bite people or abuse people racially, I'm OK with that.Quote:

why not just sign a proper DM. just because you are big and strong doesnt mean you will be a great DM. song was big and strong and he was shit. we need a DM who is tatically aware, like Gilberto. who can read the game, make interceptions, not just use brute strength. Gustavo does that better and would be a better signing
Get both in tbh.Quote:

when you have spent all summer publically and embarrasingly chasing fabregas, and being rejected by, and chasing thiago, and being rejected by him. Fellaini is not a big signing.Quote:

As I said before Gustavo wouldn't have been my 1st choice, might be my 6th choice or something....but like I said beggars can't be choosers.
He's a big signing as he's quality and proven in the PL, they were never going to get Cesc that was clear, Thiago just followed his old manager...but then Moyes isn't used to this signings lark, he probably a bit like Wenger, he's never really spent money before, mostly sold his best players. Thus far it shows.Quote:

Suarez was always doomed to failure, he was never coming it was a pipedream. If we signed Fellaini I'd be happy, would like to see 2-3 more in though.Quote:

fellaini had a release clause for champions league clubs, no one looked at him. there has to be a reason why. anyway IMO we need a technical DM who can understand tatics, understand the game and read it, like gilberto, rather then some physical player. Gustavo suits taht much more then Fellaini. instead of getting someone who wants to play as DM but hasnt play there, lets sign a DM who actually specialises in taht posistion.Quote:

how is Gustavo not a physical midfielder?Quote:
