if we sell fellaini we use his money to buy his replacement. if he doesn't go we have him and gibson there with a few others as a backup so we probably need a cheap backup, yes. We don't need to be splashing £17m on paulinho to replace one of them or play as ACM when we have barkley, osman or naismith as options as opposed to a much needed striker(s), keeper and another winger

osmans a year older mate and gibson has shown he cant be relied upon as an injury free player, barkley also isnt ready just yet and neville and most likely hitz will go so realisitically we need two CM's should Felli go, a striker and a CB IMO
 
we need a keeper desperately. osman's a couple of months older not a whole year. we definitely need one to replace neville/hitz but i won't want us to flog fellaini off for a few million under his true value just to get a massive risk like paulinho in

I think he's the box to box midfield type player we need mate if Felli goes I think we need a tough CDM type and a box to box midfielder I would use the Felli money to bring in 2 CM's like these and then use whatever moneys left available to bring in a top clas striker
 
I'd leave getting a GK for another season personally. Howard did well towards the end of the season. In an ideal world I'd change him but there's more pressing issues that need addressing. We need a good backup though to push him as Mucha will be leaving.

agree with box-to-box to replace fellaini if we HAVE to sell him. but you were saying to push through the sale of felli quick just for us to move on. if he doesn't want to go, we shouldn't be pushing such a thing through.

you're not the only one - i just thought he was absolutely abysmal last season. we need a new keeper, i'd much rather see us buy someone like mccarthy for 3-4m to be 1st choice now, with an experienced howard to come in as backup if necessary. no need to get a 38 year old to "pressure" his position (which it won't do) and then next year or 2 years time having to buy another keeper to be a 1st choice.

we won't be competing for top 4 with howard making his ricketts like he did at stoke and chelsea last season on a regular basis again, just won't happen

he's been absolutely dog ****e since he agreed the stoke deal though tbh, maybe we got lucky

I suppose we will have to wait and see. Only 20 years old and he was excellent in 2012. Hart has been dog**** for the whole season but i'd still consider him in the top 20 at least of keepers in the world.
