According to the beeb, you guys have received a £27m offer for Fellaini, from some Chinese club. At 31, for a player who is not a fan favourite, I would take their hand off! You reckon Ole will let him go?
As much as I dislike him, and I certainly can't see him fitting into any of OGS formations, I dislike the idea of letting anyone go in the winter window. You just don't know what is coming down the line in terms of injury, the cards are mounting so there will be match suspensions - and sometimes, just sometimes, Fellaini has come on during a game and changed things. Get rid by all means, but when the season is over.
The man is not a classic United player but has served a real purpose in his time with us all over the pitch, defensive headers at corners and free kicks, breaking play up in midfield when we were getting over run (the bad old days) and making a total ****ing nuisance of himself in the opposition box when we needed something late in games. For what we pay him I would keep him for special occasions
He certainly has got a lot of stick that he didn't really deserve. He performed the role asked of him pretty well. At points even being one of our better players. His presence just became the most visible symptom of the coma-inducing style of play our managers inflicted on us for 5 years and that's why his departure is a positive sign. Means that regardless of whether it's OGS or someone else, attacking football is here to stay.
