I still think Fellaini would be a decent player for us if we stay up.

For us, he'd be a massive signing.

Today's 'Mail' reports we are considering a bid for Fulham's wonderkid, Ryan Sessegnon. Presumably, the consideration is what's the lowest bid we think Fulham might accept and what is the longest payment plan they will entertain

Ravel just asked Carlton cole to get him back to West Ham on instagram.
He's really knuckled down and playing regularly in Mexico tbf
Won't be long before he is back over here

Some fans wishing for us to sign one of the dirtiest 1 dimensional long ball merchants about in Fellaini that turns 31 next season? Our standards really have dropped. I'd hate to see him here.

If he's finally got his act together, I would love to see the lad back amongst our squad. Always had a soft spot for the way he plays the game and someone who cares about our Club.

Feillaini is light years ahead of Noble and Kouyate.

He'll be off to a bigger club than us and we'll never be able to afford him anyway with the loose change that the board will spend.

I rarely comment on who should or shouldnt be brought in over a transfer window as its pretty moot.

What I would say is, this for me is the most important summer this club has had for years.

If the board does give DM the job full-time he needs to go out and get the quality needed to ensure we don't have yet another season of struggle.

Equally, the board has given assurances that investment will be made. Whether we believe to them or not OR if they will dip into their vast sums of dosh to enable us to start pushing for a top 10 finish, one thing is for sure, If we have a start to next season like the end to this one, GSB could be facing one almighty shitstorm. As it stands the fanbase is split. I predict it'll come together if performances on the pitch dont improve and the proposed investment turn out to be more lies. That Burnley game in March will seem like a cakewalk!

GSB, you have been warned.

I hope Sessegnon stays at Fulham even on loan, every young player needs games, him joining a top team and never starting, odd appearance would damage him massively

Fellani is an excellent player. Him and fabregas would be an great combo. Instead of the very limited Kouyate and average Nobes.

Trouble is....both are not as likeable. But what do we want? Won't happen though. No one decent will come to us with the dildos in charge.

Fellaini and Fabregas are good players but would further imbalance the squad's age weighting towards pensioners and would demand massive wages. They are not for us.

100%. Would be a step backwards and looking for replacements again next year. Along with the high wages, buying old players is a perpetual drain on resources and false economy. How many of the top six clubs have EVER bought a 30yo (apart from Ibrahamovic :lol: )?

Besides I’ve posted on here several times that Fellaini said he will not stay in PL next season so a pointless discussion.

Brainless economics.

Whatever happens there has to be a influx of younger players now, our ageing thin squad has creaked badly again this season, our sticking plaster transfer strategy has well and truly caught up with us now arguably leaving as big a job to do as the promoted teams,
The recent trend for this squad is a downward one and quite a few changes will have to be made whatever division we are in.

We need twice as many coming in that go out that's for sure.

We cant continue to have the manager have his hands tied behind his back with regards team selection. We have no other option for midfield or defence at present. That's crazy .... That's Sully and nobody else's doing ....

Marouane Fellaini

The perfect player to describe us and our transfer strategy.

30 years, plagued with a persistent knee injury, can't spot a pass or control the ball yet wanted in midfield.
Would be perfect with Antonio, Reid, Carroll :thup:
