There's loads of rumours about Emery being interested in Fellani. Pleeeeeease tell me it's not true! because that will be Emerys 1st nail in his Arsenal manager coffin.

Would it be all bad, Arsenal have been far to nice for far to long. A player like Fellani might help us to see out those away games that quite frankly arsenal were bullied of the park.

I'd be happier with N'Zonzi who is both a better player and less ugly, personally.

By ugly I presume you're talking about their "playing style"?

Im really mixed on this one. I used to like Fellaini at Everton, and back then wanted him to come to us. I saw him as more of a ball playing CDM. At United I haven't been overly impressed, but I guess if we have a limited budget and he is coming to the end of his contract, he could work out short term. I'd support him and hope he becomes solid for us. He definitely has more steel than anyone we currently play regardless.

If the persistent rumours about Fellaini have any substance, the direction the club is taking will be quite clear. Whilst Fellaini may have been an option five years ago, a player that barely makes it to the ManU bench is not even close to what we ought to be pursuing. Still feeling cynical, still wondering if Wenger took a lot of the flak for an unambitious board. I so hope to be wrong.

Let's get a younger bully with some skill.

Fellaini just don't feel like he is a Arsenal type player atall, but maybe that is part of our problem we need some other types in our sqaud to mix it up. He is a bit of card magnet but he is still a good ariel goal threat from set plays if nothing else, not a starter maybe but a different option to have from the bench. Since we lost Giroud we ani't got that target player that can have a physical battle up top.

Yes Joseph, Fellaini is an ugly footballer in that he's got the touch of a walrus, does not use the ball intelligently, fouls seemingly at random and has only had gametime at United because Jose needs a plan B in the last 20 minutes of long ball when the plan A of long ball to Lukaku has failed.
He is also aesthetically ugly, but that's besides the point.
{Ed002's Note - It makes zero difference to Arsenal's interest (and other clubs interest in Leno). There are obviously options.}
