Why did Moyes wait until after Fellaini's buyout clause expired to buy him?

Woodward was too busy putting in comparable bids for Fabregas

That was my next comment. According to the bids, Fellaini = Cesc

Desperation is a wonderful thing. I love Fellaini and really wanted him for United, but the figures compared to Cesc were ridiculous.

For the life of me, I cant figure that out... If anyone should know that clause it would be him!

Thankfully Gill and Slur Alex are gone...

To be fair, Everton was never going to give y'all a deal after the buyout expired..

Ed Woodward is the guy to blame in my opinion. Moyes should tell him what players he wants/requires and he should go get them. He was too busy trying to low ball every damn player.

Lots of worrying from United fans right now. they think that now the untouchables are out of the picture (SAF and Gill) that the Glazers are going to run the club how they want to. Frugally.

No, but it was public information that his release was 22.5 (i think) so we overpaid (albeit not a ton) for a player we could have had signed a week or two ago on a lower fee. It also could have freed up some people/time to go after another signing instead of this last minute/imposter/scrambling/bidding for everyone type thing that went on yesterday.

Strangely reminiscent of Phil Jones face

i've been looking for a picture everywhere. saw some tweets that England teammates said it was pretty gruesome. thanks for posting.

Also, Phil Jones makes the best faces of all time. I can relate b/c i swear every pic of me ever while i was playing i look like i'm severely handicapped.

I know the feeling. I didn't make faces, but I run like Arjen Robben

A really slow Arjen Robben

I have the bad habit of almost shrieking every time I take a bad touch or miss a pass.

I've gotten some calls before because I do a little yelp every time I mess up and the ball gets away from me. If there's a defender and any sort of contact, I can accidentally draw a foul.

So, yeah, I'm part Spanish.

So are you admitting to being a simulator or deceiving the referee into getting calls?

I don't mean to, it just has happened before.

Nani just signed a five-year deal, just in case you thought you had it all figured out.
