Fellaini has contributed to winning stuff so not really comparable unfortunately. Obviously not that shite despite your contempt!
Djimi Traore won the European Cup. Your argument is bunk.
Surely United (allegedly the richest and biggest club in the world) can afford to pay as much (transfers and wages) as Bayern and Juve - therefore accepting that your team is only capable of playing dire âmake a nuisance of yourselfâ type football is bizarre.
Football is just like hifi - itâs a matter of synergy. There may be a player who isnât great by any means, but somehow he brings shape to the team and allows them to excel. Sometimes the system needs the clarity of solid state rather than the texture of valves, to tie it all together. Like a rug.

I think youâre over reacting to the result. They were second best for some of last nightâs game but not for all of it. They had opportunities to equalise. It might be argued that Realâs first goal should have been disallowed and youâre implying that only Fellaini did anything which simply wasnât the case. I havenât suggested that Utd only played âmake a nuisanceâ football. For the first 15 minutes and last 25 they played pretty well. Other than that youâre making perfect sense. 
So did Stevie G. Didnât make him good either!
For the record I havenât seen a single minute of last nights game or read any match reports.
But your comment about Fellani warranted a good troll.
But seriously, you seem to be happy to accept that Bayern, Juve etc are going to be much better than Man Utd this season - âyou hope United reach the knock out stagesâ. Given your resources is this acceptable?
Excellent thought, shame nobody has managed it yet.

I havenât accepted that Bayern, Juve etc are necessarily going to do better than Utd but given how far off that level Utd have been over the past 3 seasons, itâd be foolish to be saying theyâll sweep all in Europe before them this season. Mourinho is building a new team which will in all likelihood play in a Mourinho way rather than anything like how Fergusonâs (or LvGâs) teams played. Heâs still learning how to use some of those players with one another & itâll take time. But I canât see any reason why the team heâs building canât get to that top level during the next few seasons. They do look as though they still need a quick wide player though. Iâd like to see Perisic there but itâs not looking likely.
I agree with this. However the decision to leave Rashford on the bench and persist with two not very pacy wide players was down to the manager.

Heâs certainly more cautious than Iâd like but in the longer term it wins things which is why people hire him.
How much game time is Fellaini going to get anyway with Matic at the club?
Heâll only get a go when Mourinho feels somebody needs an elbow in the face.

Yep, and large sums of money on coaches to do this for them.
He couldnât even get a fully justified assault on Sergio Ramos right yesterday. Disappointing really.
Christ, that match up has more going for it than Mayweather v MacGregor.
I hate my team having to play against Fellaini because he can be a handful at times and last night he unsettled the RM defence. Real Madrid are just class, best team in Europe and Man. U are still building. Itâs early doors and the game is still a glorified friendly wait until the end of September.
Sleeve advertising! What next?
Some Rugby League shirts seem to copeâŚ
Here is ourâs. At least there is room for the Premier League Campions badge. 
In fairness, thereâs room for all of Chelseaâs league titles to be listed.
Theyâve caught up with Phil Neville now
