Could we prize Fellaini away from Utd ?
No chance, he's too fundamental to their game .

No chance, he’s just extended his contract so would cost an arm and an elbow, which means he’d be half as effective.Could we prise Fellaini away from Utd ?
Just a dream I suppose...
Spot on fella. He's always had everything but like you say, had to sacrifice his natural game to suit his partners in midfield or the system. His natural game is more akin to Gerrard in his pomp. High tempo all action. But I guess that type of player is not as popular as it was possibly a decade ago. Me personally I would have loved to have seen him as an 8 in are team. He would be unstoppable.I agree, we have never really seen the player we signed, in Fernandinho. He was sacrificed to allow Pellegrini to play with a man short in midfield (I bet he doesn't do it at West Ham) & has been a 'holding' player ever since.
Which is why I find it both amusing & very annoying when people on here talk about him being 'limited' as a footballer. I'm pretty sure that if he was given 4, 5 games in a more creative role, he would get used to it again & be brilliant there.
City have now denied having interest in Pjanic, Thiago, Kovacic, Verratti and Weigl. [@Sammy_Goal]
Just saw that.
So that means we are working on a mystery signing. I wonder who it could be?
Maybe someone like Rabiot???
