Bill Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 "Toffees boss David Moyes hailed Fellaini as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League after his performance at Arsenal in Saturday's 2-2 draw and the Belgian has certainly recaptured his best form at Goodison". Moyes isnt daft he knows how to raise the fee. I can see our next £25m coming in to boost our transfer budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moyes isnt daft he knows how to raise the fee. I can see our next £25m coming in to boost our transfer budget. Agree... as much as I would hate to see him leave, as he has now found some really good form, I think that Moyes is looking to boost his price. Would have to be in the region of £25m to make it worth while, considering we shelled £15m for him...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jofanon Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Great. Wonderful. Not. His old man is saying he belongs at a bigger club. That will be him off then. Let's sell Rodders, Saha, Jags & Arteta while we are at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsmith69 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Load of rubbish. Since when has anybody took the news of the world seriously? If this was a rumour about everton signing somebody, we would all dismiss it. If chelsea sign anyone from us it will probably be Rodders.

FairWooney Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 big news, Fellaini's dad says he wants to see his son play for a league winning/champions league side. My dad personally thinks I'm better off sticking with my pretty average job and not shooting too high in life. Chelsea may indeed be interested but I'd say there's very little news in this.

Bailey Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Hopefully its just bullshit! Plus in his 'best' position they have Essien and Mikel who arent exactly crap!

jcrawfor Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Would hate to see Felli go. He's our only real big player. He's really found his form and I hate seeing Everton continue to be a selling club...it's shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's really found his form and I hate seeing Everton continue to be a selling club...it's shit. Well he's taller than all the others, but thats as far as it goes. I'm not getting too excited about Fellaini, he has been here 15 /16 months and played half a dozen good games, when he can grab a game by the neck and impose himself on games week after week then i might consider him a "Big Player". Until then he's just another member of our squad, good maybe but nothing special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Ancelotti has repeatedly said they wont be bringing anybody in. I disagree, personally I think Mikel is crap and whilst Essien is good he's a little overrated. I think that Ancelotti has already stated in the press that he isn't happy with his defensive midfielder position and is looking to strengthen, that came out before the rumours regarding Fellaini. Fellaini is starting to play very well but if someone offered £25m or something then you could hardly turn it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'd accept Essien in a part exchange deal if he's apparently not that great. 20 million plus Essien would be acceptable! I'd say he's played very well for us over at least the last 8 or 9 games since playing and getting used to playing in that more defensive holding role. The only concern if that is to be his position is what will happen when Rodders comes back. While it's not an upsetting dilema it's a position where you expect the same player to play week in week out and it'll be interesting to see what Moyes does when he has a full quota of midfield so no need to play people out of position. Fellaini Piennar Arteta Rodwell Bilya ? or would rodders and fellaini be the other way round, or not on together at all? Fellaini/Rodwell Piennar Arteta Bilya Cahill for 4-5-1 formation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adpom Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I don't see where this is coming from, he's not the best midfielder in the country, it was his fault for Arsenal's 2nd goal, he jumped in an missed the tackle, leaving space behind him, which Arsenal exploited, Had he stayed put, they wouldn't of been able to pass in to the space he left. Fellini is to slow, i know he tall and this makes him look slow, but he just seems really really slow. Rodders is far far better in that postion.

carlmc25 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Have you ever watched him play? Probably the best defensive midfielder in the world. Mikel is class too and still very young. I think he's a good all round midfielder and would love him in our team but I don't think that he's a great defensive midfielder, he doesn't have the discipline that Makelele or Hamann had and he's not a patch on Vieira in his prime imo. Everyone seems to rave about him even when he doesn't actually do an awful lot as far as I can see, I've never been blown away when watching him. The story in the Mail (I can't remember if it had quotes or not) was that Ancelotti doesn't think Essien or Mikel are right for the defensive midfielder position, which would suggest that it's not just me who has doubts about him in that position. The recent rumours regarding Fellaini and Rodwell could also point to that. and I'm sorry, but Mikel is crap imo, all he does is foul and he has no particular talent on the ball. He'll be shipped out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do think he is a decent player and certainly has the potential to get better he doesnt offer anything more than a decent holding midfielder. His passing isnt great, he isnt going to take on a player and hasnt got a shot so he may do his bit going backwards but he aint doing much going the other way.

holystove Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 ... Fellaini, he has been here 15 /16 months and played half a dozen good games, when he can grab a game by the neck and impose himself on games week after week then i might consider him a "Big Player". Until then he's just another member of our squad ... I agree with this assessment. He might be able to be a great player for Everton if he keeps improving, like Cahill has been in the past decade. Fellaini isn't as good as the Ballacks of this world (yet?). Would be a bad move for him to be a bench player for one of the "big four", when he has the chance to be an important player for a team that has a good chance to fight for European football year after year. If he was having a good couple of games because he felt the pressure was off him a bit, his dad sure ruined that now....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrawfor Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 when i said big, i meant tall...large, imposing, sizeable. not near our best player. Peanuts, Jags, Howard, Cahill and Mikky are obviously bigger names. Seeing as how he has developed over the past season I am really excited to see what the future holds for Big Mo and I would like to see that future here. Don't want to see him go, because of what he could do, not necessarily because of what he has done. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I said this time last year that Mo will be a player ALL the big clubs across europe will be after by the time he hits 24. I think the lad is finding his feet and confidence is a big thing with him. He would piss on Obi Mikel all day long. Essien is different gravy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertia8 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 He got into some real tangled up tackles against arsenal, kept his feet and got the ball if I remember correctly. I don't want to see any everton player leave, we simply don't have the depth to "sell and replace" unless we replaced each we sell with 2 more.

Hes clumsy and awkward and is a fouling machine. For that money we could get a much better player.
