Couldn't give a few fecks about how much more we paid over his release clause. 'We've' got the money. We need somebody like him and I think he may be the best thing in the middle of his type since Roy Keane. Lets feckin av it !

Fellaini is better on the ball then any of our current CMs.
Fellaini is not better on the ball than Carrick.
I actually think Carrick will still sit and Fellaini will be the one pushing forward more. We all know Fellaini can cause havoc in the final third, and I'd like to see him be the one linking up with the attack from midfield. Carrick is excellent at what he does, which is controlling play from deep with his passing (long and short).
Indeed, I'm enjoying the fact more & more people are starting to see what a impact Fellaini could have for us. I'm looking forward to him & Carrick playing alongside each other, could be one of the best CM partnerships we've had in a while.
Or Anderson or Cleverley.
He might be better off the ball, that's up for debate but on it? No.
I think he is.
Carrick can delay on the ball at times, and when he's closed down his touch can let him down.
Could be. More importantly, we have both options. Carrick is also quite handy at slicing defences apart in the final third. Fellaini could be given the more defensive role against hoof merchants like Stoke and West Ham too, rather than them usually just chipping our midfield over and over again.
You'd swear we were after buying a cart horse, he's an absolute quality player, regardless of overpaying.
will be interesting who Moyes plays in midfield v Palace. I still think Cleverly has a big future with us. Unlike some I think he played well in all three games so far.
With Fellani signed, Kagawa and Carrick can be free to express themselves.

I think he'll do well but we really need to sign someone world class next year. We will win games but they will be boring
Perhaps there's a chance that we'll take another bash at the 4-3-3 that we began against Wigan with.
Fellaini and Cleverley ahead of Carrick.
Fellani, Carrick and Cleverly will be a very tough midfield. Which means the top three of Nani/Wellbeck/Valencia, RVP and Ronney will have to be pretty creative.
A front three of RvP, Rooney and Nani, *should* be devastating.
In reflection, I am certain Fellaini will be a terrific addition to our first team. Extremely well rounded and someone who we can have confidence in. There is no dout, our performances (attacking wise) will improve drastically from here.
Nani once he has had a few games under his belt...I think we will see a great season from him.
Yeah, I have a feeling this will be a great one from him.
True, but with Carrick and Fellaini, there's little reason for us to not just have Kagawa there instead of Cleverley, for the majority of matches anyway.
Heck, we could have a front 4 of Kagawa,Nani, Rooney and RVP, and then we have potentially Carrick, Fellaini, Cleverley (and maybe even Anderson) to choose from.
He's an upgrade on Cleverley so in theory, the first XI is improved.
A lot of nonsence about him on her (in my opinion) but regardless, he's signed so time to get behind him. I personally think having a player with a bit of bite and who's awkward to play against could have an impact and at the end of the day, he's only 25 with nearly 50 caps for a decent international side so experience shouldn't be a problem.
I can see him becoming a fans favourite.
The thing is though, we were saying similar things last summer but hardly got a glimpse of it. I think Nani, Kagawa, Rooney and RVP all started together once. I really do hope we see it more often this season.
Love it!
What a creepy interview. He sounds like a sleazy porno director.
A lot has been said about his ability and that he isn't in the fabregas/thiago mold of silky technical players. However, this club has always been built around character and personality first and foremost. I think Fellaini has both in abundance and that will really help him to become a success here. It would be nice to have someone physical and imposing in the midfield. We haven't had that since Keano left. Only worry with Fellaini is that he might slow our play down, but then again we haven't exactly been playing the game at breakneck speed since Ronaldo left.
Yeah, he's been playing further back. And not that successfully - see Whittaker run past him to score.
Ah well,
Mar-ou-ane! Marouane.
Ah well,
Mar-ou-ane! Marouane.
There's still January yet, Moyes doesn't have the aversion that Sir Alex had to that month. Pity we have to wait until a week on Saturday for a debut.
Love it!

He won't let people bully him and push him around like some of our players did on Sunday.
Scourned Scouser Natalie Rooney has revealed love rat Marouane Fellaini's embarassing bedroom tactics.
The blonde babe, cousin of Manchester United star Wayne said she first met afro man Fellaini when they were introduced last month by Everton youth player Jose Baxter.
Fellaini was said to be instantly smitten when he saw a pic of Nat's goregous figure and 32G boobs on Baxter's phone and began texting her instantly.
And it wasn't long before the Everton star, who has been dating long term love Laura Binet, romanced Nat, 19..... by asking her to get her bum out.
The Everton star even dropped his own trousers on their first date. "He kept saying, 'Don't be shy - I will show you mine," complained Nat.
Natalie told the News of the World: "It was so exciting dating my favourite player, but he was only interested in one thing - sex.
"But the sneak didn't tell me he had a girlfriend back in Belgium.
"Had I known I wouldn't have gone near him. Then he had the cheek to dump ME!"
"He would text me in broken English, he wrote: "Com please me only my family no hier Please for me babe."
She agreed to go to his plush flat by Liverpool's Princess Dock.
Nat said: "I thought he looked like Screech the geek from Saved By The Bell, so was a bit 'whatever' about it.
But Fellaini's chat up lines didn't get any smoother and asked the buxom babe if he could see her rear.
"He was trying to say he had seen my bum in a photo and asked if he could see it in real life." said Nat.
"I told him 'no way'. Then he dropped his trousers and mooned right at me. He did have a lovely bum and I slapped it - but still refused to show him mine!"
"He asked to see my boobs, and I love getting them out so I showed him. He said, 'Big, very big!'"
And next week they'll be even BIGGER when Nat flies out to Mills & Mills clinic on the Costa del Sol for a second £3,500 bra-busting op taking her up to a 32JJ.
Forgot how hilarious it was.
Explains Rooney's comment of Fellaini being better 'player' than he is credited for
He'll score the winner against Citeh.
I'd like to see him start next to Carrick next game with Kagawa just in front of them with a front 3 or Rooney, Nani and RvP. That should get interesting.
He will just quietly whisper in their ears with that creepy voice of his. Be enough to scare anyone off.
Yep, Fellaini is better on the ball than our other CMs, got a great touch as well.
"Big, very big!"
I had never read that story before. Its hilarious, the way its written is just brilliant!! Fair play, best laugh I'd had all day 
The more the shit from yesterday settles down the more excited I get about this guy. Finally we have a pair of testicles in the team. A big tall hairy pair of testicles. He's exactly what we need.
He will fecking bully everyone and for that reason alone I love him
Then raise but one of those girder like eyebrows.
fantastic front 6
Hope he does really well and proves me wrong anyway. Does anyone have any ideas where he will most often play? A midfield two or in the hole or as a DM? Can kind of play anywhere. I thought he was best for Everton further forward but I don't wanna see him here in that role.
Depends what you're talking about. He's better at dribbling and driving forward with the ball. Carrick is a better passer.
I think the only reasonable idea behind the Fellaini purchase is that both Carrick and Fellaini will lay rather defensive. This means we can play our best offensive wingers in contrary to playing our "best defensive wingers" which has been "our thing" for a long period of time now.
Fellaini and Carrick will be in my eyes, the most defensively solid CM duo of any of the top clubs in the world and that by quite a margin. Fellaini and Carrick are both huge which will help us on corners, free-kicks and crosses in to our own box. That ticks 3 of the most common ways for bad teams to beat better teams.
With both Fellaini and Carrick playing defensively we will allow our wing-backs and wingers to be much more offensively creative as they know even if they lose the ball we have 2 great solid players behind them ready to clean up the mess. So most likely we will see Zaha&Nani or one of them partnered up with Kagawa/Welbeck.
I am really happy with the signing because I've advocated for British teams to turn less continental instead of more. Fellaini, Carrick, Vidic, Ferdinand, DDG can't be doubted as probably the defensively best "5" in the world.
