Dembele, maybe, but i don't think Wenger is interested in him.

No chance of Felliani.

Fellaini i think we could get for 20m.

Really? They signed him for 15M, 4 years ago.

I really couldnt see us getting Fellaini at all. Everton would not want to sell at all. We would have to offer a lot of money! Event then i cant see it, Falaini seems happy at everton. Furthermore, I Highly doubt Everton would sell their best player this close to deadline.
Dembele more likley, but cant see it.

Everton paid 15 million for Felli, he's just signed a long term contract,he's improved immensely since he first joined,and you think Everton would sell him for a mere 5 mill more than what they paid for him? Dream on.

So what price do you think would get Fellaini?

He's surely better then Everton and would want the move

You have to remember, Everton are in financial trouble. A £20m might be too good to turn down.

The trouble is, if City and Chelsea get wind that Fellaini is up for sale, they'll guzump us and we'll have no chance.

At this time in the window. You'd be looking at paying in the 30 millions. They would really not be willing to sell at all. Would have to be a massive offer to get him now.

neither of these transfers will happen.

Well i think we should do all it takes to get the pair of them. Fantastic players within our range

Before the start of the season a cheeky bid of £20m might have got him but after his impressive start there is NO chance now!

posted on 28/8/12

I remember hearing something that Everton said they are no longer in the position where they have to sell.
You would have to offer more than 20m to get him. Last season 20m probably would have done it.

will cost the guts of 45m for the both of them - Wenger will never be allowed to shell out that sort of money.

No they're not. They're just brought three new players in, and Moyes still wants more.

Dembele.

The guy's a left footed version of Diaby. So overhyped.
We already have better players than him in his position.

We should be aiming higher.

Feillani is strong and unbeatable in the air.
But he isn't technically good enough for us.

Too slow too.

And Podolski, Giroud, Wlcott, Gervinho and Jenkinson are?

I'm not sure technical proficiency is quite as key to this current side as it was to the teams we put together in the mid point of the decade.

Podolski is technically good.
Giroud's ok.
Walcott average.
Gervinho is generally a poor player.
Jenkinson is a defender.

Feillani is ok. But he won't improve us. A few good games. And people are crowing over these two guys.

These are the same people who wanted us to sign Holliet too in January.

Hoilliet is way too Overated

Disagree totally about Podolski. I think he's the kind of player who should generally be kept away from build-up. He's much more of a direct threat than he is the helpful brains behind the build-up.

Giroud is again, someone we should primarily be looking to feed.

Walcott isn't good enough technically for anyone and totally agree on Gervinho. Jenkinson I mentioned as we do use our full back's quite a lot in our general play, hence why Clichy, despite his constant brain farts and general nappy wetting at important times, was such a generally consistent player for us and why Sagna, despite his poor crossing, is as vital to us as he is (alongside the excellent defending, of course).

I'm not saying we should sign Fellaini, I'm just saying his technical ability is no longer a reason to claim he's not good enough though. 2007/08, you'd have been spot on; Now, however, not so much.

"Disagree totally about Podolski. I think he's the kind of player who should generally be kept away from build-up. He's much more of a direct threat than he is the helpful brains behind the build-up."

Being technically good, doesn't mean one has to be the brains behind a build up.
I am referring to Podolski's ball control, touch, dribbling, etc.
Fundamentally he is technically good.

You make valid point on all the ones though.

Either way, I don't Feillani is better than what we have in his position. Same with Dembele. People are just getting their knickers in a twist cause they had a few good games.

Ive always though Dembele is a good player. Every time we have played him we havent been able to touch him. Dominates us every time, ive also seen him terrorise Man Utd. Spurs are also interested, if he goes there i will be gutted

Oh, I know what technical ability refers to, I was basically looking to imply those things in my comment on he. I guess, we'll agree to disagree on that one, but I think he's a much better option as a wing forward in a counter attacking system or as a in which his thought process is duly limited than he is in a ball retaining, creative winger based system that we're seemingly looking to deploy.

I guess we can agree to disagree on that one.

You know I like Dembele, so we won;t get into that one again, but I'm not too fussed on Fellaini. I do think he's a quality player and would definitely add something in terms of tactical nous and structural discipline to a side who are seemingly evolving in that regard now that the wandering egotists are gone from the midfield, but for the money it'd cost, yeah, I think there are definitely more suitable options out there at this point.

Everton have sold Rodwell. If they hadn't done that they would have considered selling the Belgian but I doubt it now.

You shouldn't really pass judgement when you haven't a clue what your talking about.Feillani has more tricks in his bag than just heading the ball.

It's only a short clip but he's does this type of stuff all the time.
