why are you against fellaini and baines?
baines >> evra
fellaini is a very good midfielder.
He's not, really. Everton just hoof the ball up to him - he plays as a number 10 most of the time and that's where his best performances have come from. I don't know why people talk about him as if he's this box to box midfielder as it's a position he's never played for Everton. According to both Moyes and Fellaini himself, he's a defensive midfielder who plays as the number 10 because Everton have no one else up there.
He isn't a very good DM either. More fouls than anyone else in the league, his reading of the game isn't that good, his passing is average, when under pressure he's poor ect. He's a good player, but Everton is his level.
I like Baines, although Evra had a good season so he isn't "<<" inferior, but yeah Baines is superior. He isn't a 20M upgrade though which is what it will cost (if not more).
There's other areas that need addressing. We're strongly linked with Thiago Alcantara who'd be an amazing signing. The midfield needs sorting out first.
If we end up spending £45M on Baines and Fellaini whilst selling Nani for a pittance and keeping Young, I'll be pissed. United need to get closer to Bayern Munich and Barcelona. Fellaini is not the player to do that.
