United have a strict transfer policy with regards to age, its got to do with the valuation of a player. If you buy a player at 23/24 , you can still get your money back 2/3 years later, where you cant do that with a 29 year old. They have only broken this policy twice as far as im aware, RVP and Berba. Look what happened with Berba too , lost about 15-20 mil on him.

The Berbatov move was always high risk. The guy is notorious for not always giving it a full go and is often guilty of playing lazy. And if he hits a goal drought he is next to useless. There's a reason why he sat on the bench even when he was United's leading goal scorer. I liken him to a poor man's Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Can't comment on Strootman but Fellaini is a very limited player. He'd help for physical games but otherwise I can't see that he'd add too much to the central midfield on a regular basis.

Fellaini is an incredibly dirty player as well. Throws lots of elbows around on the sly. I don't see him moving to Utd to be honest.
 
If I was one of those kids I was going in two-footed off the ground. Bunch of showboaters. :p

Reminds me of a video Micheal Owen did when he was taking penalties against a 12 year old. What a knobhead.

(Not saying RvP and Co. were being knobheads, just the showboating bit reminds me of the video).

I blame that on Moyes, more than Fellaini. The big fella actually has some impressively quick feet, and a rather excellent passing range for a player of his definition...

Why blame Moyes? It was he who moved Fellaini from a DM to the striker position.

I know, I know... blame him for using Fellaini so deep for so long :D

I know your comment was tounge in cheek. Moyes was the one reason why Everton punched above it's weight for so long. No matter injuries or small squad the players he had wanted to play for him and give their all. That says a lot about Moyes as a manager.

I rate Moyes, think he is a brilliant man manager and his tactics are not too bad. His longevity and ability to work on a shoestring budget were continually redeeming qualities. And I was always impressed with how he got previously unknown players to perform like world beaters.
