    Don't rush into this before giving it some thought. Fellaini was our only summer signing last year. and he hardly became a shining light at Old Trafod, BUT.

    No one in the team last year produced anything near the demands of United, except maybe De Gea and Rooney, the rest, not just Fellaini, were abysmal, but when Fellaini was at Everton, he was always giving 100%, and his performances for Belgium in the world Cup have been pretty good.

    OK, I am the first to admit that Moyes got it all wrong (personally I thought he was the right man for the job, but it was not to be), but Fellaini could do a job for us under the new manager. Add to that most of us were pleased when we eventually got him, albeit with minutes to spare.

    So, do we ditch him and lose 15 mill. or stay with him.

    My opinion is stick with him for 12 months.

    I would give him another season to be honest.
    Like you say, last season, you have to hope, was a write off due to a mistake made in appointing Moyes and Woodward not signing any decent players, the squad got dejected and gave up halfway through the season.

    I personally think another season would be fair, with a decent manager and a fresh start.

    Yes but then you are a chav. If he was really bad you would say we should keep him wouldn't you? <whistle>

    I think we should give him time. because we cannot be sure whether it is him being not good enough or the manager not using him properly or him being caught in last season's chaos...<ok>

    There is bigger deadwood to trim.

    Don't try changing too much too soon or you'll just dig yourself a bigger hole. He has a job to play in the squad even if he isn't a star player. There are plenty of others that should be axed first.
