and his hair is fine

Would be typical of Arsenal to forget to insert a hair clause in his contract though. What if he shaves his head a week before the season starts?

That is a tremendous photoshop though. Had me checking the source for a minute.

I think the black collar on our shirts probably makes it very easy. Not that I know anything about photoshop!!!

Its a good job isn't it, I think it's Pers body.

I was wondering who owned those weird arms.

Been a massive admirer of this guy's for years. Would give us the power and height our team lacks so much in the middle and final third. Always puts in a shift, is good in the air. And he seems marketable. A talented player, with a good air and hair! I think it would be a good sporting and business decision.

Actually just a very good photoshop of a Fellaini!

He has done well for Everton higher up the pitch but haven't seen much of him as a DM and that is the position we'd play him in.

Can we just agree on that he would look good in an Arsenal kit then?

His own bod.

great work by him. talented.

same bloke what made our Puma mockups

Big Fellaini back page on the Mirror today.

Now that would be telling....

Ok, That he's desperate to come to Arsenal but we're not meeting his buy-out.

"with the 25-year-old revealing to close friends that he would love a switch to the capital"

"but sources close to Fellaini suggest that if Arsenal or Chelsea make a move, then he would encourage their interest"

That's their latest. Probably BS, we should get Fellaini though, exactly the type of player the team needs, right age as well.

Please Wenger, don't go for Fellaini...

Please Wenger, only sign Fellaini if there are no better targets and if you are playing him as a DM.

Why would we spend £23m on an average DM?

Fellaini would be a great addition. He's very effective in a number of roles, knows the Preiership and would add physicality to our side.

Sign da man. If shit, sign another. What the rich do!

This is one of those times I'd like a villain to lock it and throw the key into the bushes or something. Fellaini = shoddy.

How much of him have you seen as a DM? Not criticising just more curious as I've not really seen him play that position

I remember a time when I was seriously considering hiring a plane with a sign saying "fucking sell senderos" and get it to continually fly over the emirates during our games

He's predominantly played as a central midfielder since 08/09 at least. Never looked particularly brilliant defensively. Nobody started calling for him as a DM until this year, when he's played predominantly as a forward / attacking midfielder.

😆 what was that name you used to call him?
Those "debates" were the funniest ever on AM.

He made his name in Liege as the DM behind Witsel and Defour. That was always his natural position until Moyes converted him, because he played DM the first half of his inaugural season with Everton and got so many fouls/redcard.

So he isn't a good defensive midfielder?

I am not convinced myself about Fellaini in central midfield and although he is a handful closer to the forward, don't think he fits into how we play.

I do not have enough time to watch other teams play so i only watch Fellaini properly when he plays against us and he has always seemed to be the hardest player to contain.

Why is everyone so eager to put him in a defensive or attacking role? What's wrong with plain old midfielder like Vieira?
