i'm not so sure about the idea of Fellaini blossoming into a great defensive mid. i was watching their game against Southampton this week. one of the Southampton mids went past Fellaini like he wasn't there and that left Rio et al completely exposed. Fellaini was standing in front of him, but instead of meeting him full-on or putting in a foot or elbow, he rotated his body to give the opponent a free path. was very mediocre defense.

Fellaini is an attacking midfielder. not a defensive one. United are in for a lot of hurt if they think they can put him in midfield to bomb from deep or sit like Arteta.

Fellaini started the season well for Everton as a normal CM, passing the ball short and simple and doing well defensively. It's all about the manager he plays for.

same manager he's played for since he came to England.

Ferguson on Lampard: "Lampard, for me, was a marvellous servant for Chelsea, but I didn’t think of him as an elite international footballer"

Fergie says now friendly with Wenger but in early days 'he [AW] would fix in his mind idea that no-one should actually be tackling his boys'

Fergie on Wenger: 'When you acquire [Nasri, Arshavin, Rosicky] they are almost clones. The team he inherited gave him a start in England'

Keane fuming at Fergie on ITV 😆

Said Fergie doesn't know the meaning of Loyalty.

wrighty and dixon were laughing during that segment apparently. legends

😆 And Keane does, walking out on his country during the world cup?

Fergie was also told what he thought of Mark Bosnich

"Mark Bosnich was a terrible professional,"

"We played down at Wimbledon and Bosnich was tucking into everything: sandwiches, soups, steaks. He was going through the menu.

"I told him, `For Christ's sake, Mark, we've got the weight off you. Why are you tucking into all that stuff?'

"We arrived back in Manchester, and Mark was on mobile phone to a Chinese restaurant to order a takeaway.

"Is there no end to you?

😆 Aussies will find this especially funny as Bosnich (who tbf is a good pundit) is forever lauding Fergie, even calling for him to be appointed coach of Australia for the world cup.

Poor Bozza probably just had the drug induced munchies.

😆 Bosnich isn't a bad pundit but fuck knows what he was thinking suggesting Ferguson as Australian coach for the WC, that was pure nonsense and he knew it.

Seems its all fairly petty from Fergie. Par for the course with him.

The bitterly funny thing for me is the contradiction between his insistence that "no one is bigger than the club" and "at a club, no one is more important than the manager".

What comes out in the wash is that he obviously thinks he's bigger than Manchester United. Absolute prick, and it sounds like this book is just a rampage of bad taste and zero class.
