    Manchester United are prepared to accept as little as £12million for Marouane Fellaini, who cost the Red Devils £27.5million less than a year ago. (Daily Star)

    Wages will be stupid

    Pond was too big at United - would fit in here very well - although, as you say, his wages will be astronmical!

    A whole host of clubs will and should be looking at the possibility of signing a player of his quality.

    he would certainly add a lot to our midfield but theres no way we will shell out the 12 mill plus the wages it would take to get him here. there will be any number of clubs who would be happy to take him and i dont think were high profile enough to pull it off

    Don't think we'll stand a chance. I think he'll go overseas.

    He was very good at Everton playing off the front man in a direct system. Not sure he'd flourish under Poyet's system.

    Would be class for West Ham

    Would be a class signing, you don't go from being as good as he was at Everton to being ****.

    We should try, absolutely, but I'd imagine far bigger clubs are aware that he's not ****, just wrong move wrong time.

    100k a week or there abouts. Seriously he is worth a punt, even if its on loan?

    He's a Ji replacement, but he's also a card magnet. Between him and Catts I wouldn't expect us to have 11 men on the field half the time.

    There was talk in the gym this morning that he's being offered to Juventus as part of a swap (plus cash) deal for Vidal. I'd be happy with that. Fellaini showed some good work and determination last season towards the end, but ultimately he didn't turn up with the right mentality. He isn't boss here like he was at Everton and he has failed to adapt to that.

    Viadal, for me, is the best player of his type in the world, by quite a distance.

    He'd be a superb signing for you.

    Even if it were true, we'd still have to compete with the inevitable approach from Chelsea for him as well, since they're well short on midfielders.

    He's ****ing relentless Vidal, box to box, scores, tackles, he's a fantastic player.

    I think he'd be perfect for the Prem, peronally. He's better than Pogba, no question.

    I'm still of the opinion that Pogba's made to look good by the league he plays in. Until he proves otherwise.

    Stick him on a pitch against the likes of Ramires and Matic and he'll never get a touch of the ball, he'd just disappear. Can't stand the over rated ****pot.

    He is overrated, but he is very good.

    He'd look less good not alongside a player like Vidal though, someone busy enough to leave you space and give you time on the ball.

    I don't think Pogba moves all that well with the ball, personally, and I'd say that would cost him here.

    ****er can shoot mind.
