Personally, I think he not got a fair crack yet.

What does this mean? Nobody was making him play with a ball and chain tied to one ankle, the man was utter crap last season and its nobodies fault but his own.

I hope he comes good because we desperately need the options in that position, but fact is better players than him weren't able to cut it at Old Trafford, and his performances suggest he won't either.

Do people expect Fellaini to at least be a solid option for us in CM or do you fear it's a flop already and that it was a mistake buying him?

Personally, I think he not got a fair crack yet. I don't know if he be a 27 million player but I think he is much better then what he has shown and I hope we can see his Everton form more with LVG in charge, hopefully.

I reckon he may be used as a DM for the first half of the season at least. If he doesn't work well I'd imagine Van Gaal would move for someone like Strootman. Suppose it depends on who else we get for CM in the summer

I was expecting someone to say she was average.

I'm glad I was proven wrong.

Proud of you all.

If anyone (straight, gay or bi) said she was average they should be bate once everyday for the rest of their lives for being so stupid :P

So if LVG isn't announced this week will we start getting worried??

if not announced by tuesday morning, ill be worried. there is no reason for this madness to go on, the first stories of us meeting Van Gaal came out 6 weeks ago, even well before Moyes got the boot.

i expect this to be sorted by then, hopefully tomorrow

Talks of tomorrow does seem plausible but as you say anything past Tuesday morning between 8-9.30am and i'll be worried about what the fcuk they are doing.

He came in at a time when he was our only signing. More pressure to deliver and was a player we looked to see if we could change our fortunes in CM, hampered by injuries. Never got more then few games in a row.

Basically he might just need a fresh start this season with us and new signings might take heat off him.

Just 1 quick question

Fellaini has not scored for United yet sure he hasn't or am I wrong??

My mind went blank when Everton fan mentioned it and I can't say for or remember if he had

He got one goal last season, for Everton though in the league cup. Can't pick on him alone though for a woeful season.

He wasn't some kid though, he was an experienced Premier league player rejoining his old manager, so if he couldn't handle the pressure then thats all on him. And he would have gotten more games in a row if he hadn't been so poor when he did play. Hell, you know you are bad when you can't keep Cleverley out of the side. I don't agree with the injury thing either, he had a few injuries, not some horrific leg break or something, its not enough of an excuse.

Like I say, there are lots of players who couldn't hack the pressure at a big club, and thus far Fellaini looks to be one of them, hopefully under the new manager he pulls his head out of his arse. Dropping Carrick would be a big help in that regard I suspect.

Fair enough argument there.

Only thing I would disagree on is him being kept out by Cleverley.

IMO Cleverley was seen as more of the playmaker and Carrick the DM something Fellaini was more bought for hence why I think he was in competition with Carrick more then Cleverley IMO.

It's a bollix idea to only allow stories from certain posters ideas of reliable journalists m

Exactly, that actually goes for journalists themselves, they have to write to make money, when nothing big is on the horizon to write about they still have to find something to report. Its up to them if they write something boring from a strong source or something juicier from a flimsy source because they have nothing else and its more likely to get attention.

Mangala said he'd rather play for Chelsea than City because they're in London. Wonder how interested we are/were

That's a pretty aggressive response d*ckface.

Joke, I promise!

I don't remember us selling many players to our rivals. Hughes to Chelsea maybe but he was old and we wanted rid. I'm really struggling to remember one of our domestic rivals stealing away a young player we wanted to keep.

Can you name any?

Van Gaal regarding RVP as Dutch captain.

"I was happy with his performance, but he is also a fantastic captain. I think you always make a player captain when you have the same morals and philosophy."

Tomorrow it is then seemingly according to the Telegraph dear fcuking god I hope so...

The_Kew_Tour

Yeaaaaa tomorrow!!

GSPfan

I'd be happy to have him announced tomorrow just so the attention can turn to signings. Maybe thats been a tactic with the delay so that Van Gaal doesn't have to answer specific questions about transfer targets before he leaves for Brazil.

Whatever the delay is I can't help but think it's for good reasons.

If not more meltdown.

Almost without fail since the club was put on the stock exchange, major announcements (Ferguson retiring, Moyes appointment, Moyes sacking) has been announced between 8-09.30am for trading reasons.
