Don't you think so? As much as Aaron has progressed he still has several areas of his game that need a lot of work that Fellaini is accomplished in. Not to mention he'll always have the physical advantage. I think it would be a big improvement personally.

Ramsey should not be in the starting XI at all. He still has a long way to go. He can be a good squad player and continue his development. Meanwhile Arteta will be going the opposite way in my opinion. A very important player who will probably be phased into a squad role soon.

No, I don't. Fellaini has only impressed when he's been deployed much higher up the field; usually behind the striker. I'm not saying he can't convert to a deeper role but it's never been where he's gotten the most out of his game.

I used to hate his guts but he definitely should be in the first team now. Really upped his game. Dynamic and great engine

Fellaini is an oaf. We need a replacement/rotation for Arteta, and he is not the one.

Claudius

Fellaini is definitely better deployed up-field. He has an engine, but he has not been a two-way midfielder in the time I have seen him.

If we get Higuain, my preferences for one other signing would be

Rooney to give us more firepower and creativity up-front
Bender to give us solidity at the base of midfield
Fellaini to give us that power going forward

Just the good names we've been linked to

dreamlord

Higuain + Rooney will make us challengers. Bender/Gonalons would be nice, but Arteta should have another season in him.

I think some of you guys worry too much about 'starting XI'. If we are to be competitive in 4 competitions there can not be such a thing. It is a squad game, and has been for years, and there will be plenty of games for all of them. Would be nice it we can rotate without losing much quality for once.

Fixing the first XI should always be first priority, and there are enough issues in the first team as it is. After that we can talk about building on the squad.

Rex

What are you on about? People are talking about where to fit players in right?

dreamlord

Yeah, but Fellaini won't fit in our first team - hence we shouldn't buy him. Apologies if I misconstrued your post.

We've got more chance of signing Fellaini than we do Rooney.

dreamlord

So? Doesn't mean we should.

Rex

Fellaini is a versatile player who can play all across our midfield and, personally, I'd have him ahead of Giroud at CF. Of course he would be in our starting XI more often than not. More importantly, if he should be injured or rested there would be good options to replace him.

It could do.

You think we're in for Bender then?
I haven't seen any repeated links.

lorddulaarsenal

Fellaini would be a brilliant signing.

He's experienced within the premiership, has great physical attributes and is versatile. We'd be formidable from set plays. Proper plan B with throwing him up top when chasing a game

Patters

Prefer to spend the £25m on a plan A tbh.
