    To have a squad capable of challenging for the title and ultimately winning it. Have a look at some of our previous title winning squads. The key is variety and the ability to change games.

    We will have many options and many different styles.

    Seems to be the point you are missing yes. Maybe we can get somewhere now.

    Tbf it was plan A for much of last season bcos needs must. But with the right signings we dont need Fellaini. If there is a plan C, I would rather it was something (or someone) else. I'd rather have Llorente for a plan C than Fellaini.

    Eh??? you're the one missing the point. Jaysus it's not rocket science mate. Just bcos I mention technical ability doesnt mean he needs to play like Messi.

    I think you're missing the point. We used Fellaino to his strengths. The sensible thing to do if we are going to use him. No point expecting technical shott and quick passing with plenty of movement from a lump like Fellaini.

    We usee his to his strengths and he had a decent season from it. After his first when he was completely writen off, he showed character and strength of mind to prove a point.

    Maybe of Moyes also used him to the best of his ability, who knows. He didnt, despite knowing him better than anyone.

    His strengths are limited. In a side challenging for honours (not top 4) he will be shown up.

    Bastian is going to line up with a player, who's last memory of sharing a pitch with him was this.

    Useful off the bench against a bus like Chelsea, he can knock them about and unsettle them while the better players take advantage of the chaos.

    Possibly but it didnt work at Stamford Bridge. I really think there are better ways of dealing with Chelsea (or anyone) than that.

    Thats Moyes' Fellaini. He was beyond useless.

    It was plan A last season, long balls to Fellaini and knock downs for runners. LVG genius

    If you want to resort to long ball chasing a goal in the last 15 why not get Andy Carroll or that fat scouser ?

    Well the alternative was bringing Falcao on so can't really blame him.
