As a Utd supporter and someone who thinks Cesc is a quality player, I'm not too impressed that we'd spend 30M+ on him. Fellaini would rather be someone to target. Not sure if Moyes is not allowed to do so though.
I think he's probably allowed to do so but was discussing this with my bro at weekend (he's a Utd fan), I think Moyes needs some kind of a marquee signing to give Utd fans a shot in the arm amidst the Rooney saga and the uncertainty of a new manager coming in and fact that City and others have been spending.
I think in order to get the fans onboard fully he needs to get a big name, not someone who used to play for Everton, thats too obvious, makes out that he lacks imagination/inspiration to identify players able to play for Utd so just turns to the guys he knows. Ordinarily Fellaini would be a great signing for most teams inc Utd i just dont think he's perhaps top of the list for the reasons Ive just listed.
Agree with Lewis, not that its my job to manage the books at City but happy with the players we have got, but would like to have picked them up for about 5m less than reported for both of them. Hopefully reports are exaggerated, everyone likes a 'City offered 30m for a player worth 15m' story.
