surely ronaldo isn't likely now? a big part of ronaldo wanting to return to old trafford was to team up with fergie again.

do I agree though that baines and fellaini would improve man u a lot. really looking forward to seeing who moyes brings in now he has a bit of money, he's identified some good players at everton but will now have the pick of european youngsters and talent and will be able to get whoever he fancies.

Fellaini isn't a holding midfielder, so how is he going to solve our holding midfielder problem?

he is/was/can be. We just play him all over the place as he's our best non-defender.

I thought creative midfielder was the problem anyway?

they have just destroyed the league. There isn't a problem.

Exactly - he's a very versatile player. Could be a bit of a triple whammy for Everton: Moyes, Felliani and Baines to Old Trafford, but great signings for us if they happen.

What's happening with Mourinho? On La Liga highlights today, they seemed to be saying that he isn't leaving Real after all.

Not attacking wise - more the defensive part of midfield.

Although by the sounds of the praise people are lavishing upon Jones, we have the next Duncan Edwards at the club. Talk about putting the lad under pressure!!

I'm actually feeling quite positive about Moyes. He did a great job at Everton, without much money - now he has a really great squad to call upon. Next season should be very interesting.

Oh and in case someone hasn't heard, he's been signed up for a six year contract at Utd. Didn't half feel strange to read that headline...

Ye plus i think Fellani has tended to play DM for Belgium most of the time too.

 

[Bevab]

I thought they used Witsel as a DM.

 

[Haarithan]

Bevab's right. Dembele and Witsel have been the two playing the holding role for Belgium, not Fellaini.

Hazard----------------Fellaini----------------de Bruyne
-----------------Dembele------Witsel-------------------

 

[MasterBlaster76]

Moyes wants to get Lewandowski as his No.1 priority and is prepared to let Rooney go in order to get him. Also, a ?40m double bid for Felliani and Baines is very much on the cards.

Either way, Felliani can do a very good job at CDM and has done so before for Everton.

To me it looks pretty much certain that Baines is off to United. Fellaini could still end up at Chelsea but

I am very keen to see what Martinez can do at a club better than the woeful Wigan, so I hope they get relegated. My money is on him signing one of Kone or Maloney if he comes over, more likely the latter with the hole Fellaini's departure will leave.

I hear Wayne Rooney is linked with us... GOD NO!!! I'd rather have Chamakh playing striker.

Seeing my reaction to it, I'm sure Chelsea fans will feel the same.

Bayern is unlikely IMO, they have plenty of players in any position he could occupy, Real's new manager may want him perhaps?

 

[Haarithan]

Rooney should just come to Liverpool. There, I said it..

Even in a sarcastic world, that would receive more vitriol than Benitez receives at Chelsea.

 

[Haarithan]

I'm sure Coleen would approve.

Just like how Roman approved Benitez I guess.
