Affro affro man!!
Comments (53)
I know this is a strange post, but during half time of the game against Villa, Dion Dublin said on Sky Sports that Fellaini's amazingly huge affro cushions the ball when he goes for a header, thus not as much as power when he heads a ball. He then goes on to say that he will not score as many goals, because of his huge affro, which I found absolutely ridiculous!
Anyone thinks that's a load of rubbish or does Dion have a point?

It’s ridiculous. He did a good job with both his headed opportunities on Sun and he’s scored a couple of beauts with his head already. Absolute tripe, I’d say.
Fellaini looked so promising on Sunday, He ran the show as far as I’m concerned. Very promising indeed.

I think it could effect him particularly if he uses Vosene with Conditioner. If I were him, I would use only a straight shampoo, the conditioner could cause a softness which would hamper headers at goal but on the other hand would soften his little knock down headers to team mates.
So if he?s asked to push up it's Vosene, if he?s asked to play deep it certainly would be ok to use Vosene with conditioner.

Ben, did you ever see any of the Jackson 5, Shaft, Jimi Hendrix or Meadowlark Lemon score with a header...... Nuff said
Come to think of it though, not sure about Meadowlark?

I notice he leans markedly to his left when running, a sure indication he’s got unbalanced hair - I recommend Pantene Pro-V
It helps him stand Head and Shoulders above the rest?
I think Dion should stick to playing the saxophone he is merely jealous of Mo?s big thatch.
Fellaini should grow a beard to go with it and then surely cult status awaits.

His ?combative?midfield style reminds me of how Mickey Lyons used to play when pushed into midfield. No great skill, bad timing, awkward but kinda effective. He?ll probably finish up a damn good central defender.... somewhere else!
Ever seen Enter the Dragon?
Mr Han "Your Style Is Unorthodox........"
Williams "But Effective"
Every time I see Fellaini I think of this cos he looks just like Jim Kelly...

Sean, if he grows a beard, he will look like the Yorkshire ripper. Although that might be a good thing ? it would certainly strike fear into the opposition!
I think I must watch a different game than you lot. I am probably going to get slaughtered for this, but I think Felliani is one of the worst players I have seen at Everton; right up there with the Claus Thompsons and Farrelys of this world IMO. I just don't see what he brings for the price that we paid. He can't tackle, has a limited range of passing, and has no pace. The only thing he is is a head on stick who wins a few headers.
More worrying was the interview I saw with him before the Villa game; he told the interviewer that he is a defensive midfielder whose job it is to break up play and distribute the ball! He will never do that as long as he has got a hole in his arse IMO. Also, Moyes thinks that he is an attacking midfielder, so I think this shows no-one at the club really knows what he is.
I am so frustrated that no one else seems to see this; I am not blaming the lad; it?s not his fault, it?s Moyes fault for blowing £15 mil on an average player at best. He has done well with his signings in the past but he has fucked up big time with this one, and if Moyes has anything about him he will cut his losses and get shut. Think of what we could have had with that£15 mil folks....

Mike Oates - brilliant! Made my day start with a smile!
I agree with you, Neil Pickering, but I must say I thought he looked a lot better against Villa than he did when he first arrived so I hope he stays as I?m hopeful he can eventually turn into a good Premier League player! Let's face it, it?s a massive step up for a 20-year-old to move from a weak Belgium league to the best league in the world!
Going back to the hairstyle debate, I really couldn?t say if Dion was right or wrong but I do hope he shaves it all off 'cos let's face it, he looks a right TIT!!!

Neil Pickering, I have to agree with a lot of what you say there mate! In the interview before the game that you have mentioned, he also said that he was trying to cut out the stupid tackles in his game, then he goes and clobbers Ashley Young (I think) just outside the box, gets booked and gives them a dangerous free kick.
I think the main problem with his heading is that most of the time he doesn't seem to use his neck muscles.

I think he looks best as an attacking midfielder in the Ballack mould and wouldn?t be surprised to see him develop into that type of player. He?s got a knack for scoring goals and plays a lot of clever passes in attacking areas. Defensively he looks weaker.
Give the lad time, he?s clearly got potential there. Not all players are prodigies like Wayne Rooney who already peak at 20. Using Ballack again as an example, he didn?t really make a name for himself at Leverkusen until he was around his mid-20s.

Limited range of passing. You obviously weren’t watching closely enough on Sunday. One particular pass just on the half-way line was absolute quality. I think for a big man he has great feet and a good range of passing and I’d rather have him playing for us than against us. There is no doubting his effectiveness in my opinion. Give the lad a break. If we had won on Sunday everyone would have said he played well.
We didnt pay £15m for him. It doesn't take £15m to buy a £15m player (copyright Kenwright). Downpayment of £2m plus extras if we win the World Cup, £2m for 20 internationals etc.
I honestly think he?s getting better and will prove to be a good signing as long as he gets a good run in the team. Liverpool were looking at Barry for £18m and I know who I'd rather have after Sunday's performance.
It never caused a problem for John Barnes, Andy Gray et al
How much does a cockney bird pay for her shampoo? Pan....tene......!!!
Ruud Gullit’s goal in Euro 88 final against Russia was ace, then again Jason Lee didn’t do too much with his pineapple...
Haha.. I know it was a stupid post.. but at least it caused a bit of light hearted banter for a change!
Ste I really hope that you are right about him, but just don't see where he will improve. As far as comparing him to Gareth Barry, I mean seriously; you are not suggesting he is better than Barry are you? I would have Barry instead of Fellaini like a shot!
Bullshit Mr HAN MAN !
His hair is awesome.
He?s like Samson!

I personally agree with Neil Pickering, although he is a lot better than the player we had in the first few games.
May be a swear word, but for £15 M we could have possibly had a sniff around Alonso?

You head a ball with your forehead not your hair, what the fuck is that stupid brummie baldie on about?
Alonso is a great shout, despite who he plays for! Would have loved us to have gone for Fletcher at Man U, and was made up when we were linked with him. No chance of that now tho, as he has proved what a good player he is this season, but I reckon if we had waived £8 mil under Man Utd?s nose they would have bit! But alas, now we Fellaini instead!
C?mon mate, that is complete bullshit.
I never heard Dublin coz I was at the Villa game, but I heard the shite he was talkin? last night for the UTD game.
Why the TV thinks that these people who used to play the game / manage know what they are talking about beats me.
They?re better off having journo?s on there in my opinion. At least they don?t have to be nice and say everything is brilliant, like those twats Redknapp & Crooks...
I have to turn them off.

Neil Pickering, in answer to your question, I think you were watching a different game.
To my surprise, and probably many other blues, his performances have vastly improved. I think he was one of the best on the park against Villa.
Now I agree with Lee when he says he still makes clumsy tackles. But if Felliani is aware thats an issue then he will sort it.
At the end of the day if he keeps playing like that and improves further it was money well spent. Especially that he is still a young lad.
I mean just look at some of the garbage that has been bought by other clubs for mad amounts ? especially players over 27.

Carlos Valderrama, Paul Breitner, Tommy Caton, George Berry, Kevin Keegan, all of them had giant hair ? Google them all if you don?t believe me!
It didn't do their careers any harm did it?
I love his giant hair, even if he isn?t the greatest player in the world I find him endlessly entertaining even when he cocks things up or lumbers into a tackle like Lurch on speed.
Long live the 'fro!

George Berry.... what a player he wasn’t with the best Afro ever.
It truly was a beauty eh Kev!
When Everton showed interest in him, he asked someone for some footage of the Blues. Unfortunately he got an 70s video and in it were big Bob Latchford and Gary Stanley running around with mad perms and he thought, "That will do me". He has got nice footwork with the ball but I reckon his stamina is not there and he is very clumsy.
I know I am going to get slaughtered and people will say I don't care if a player looks like SHREK as long as he gives his all for the shirt but I have a tough time taking him seriously with that giant afro. Even if I do think that he is a good player, clumsy in the tackle but with a huge amount of potential.
He really needs to get that mop cut so that his talent goes with his image.

The hair gives him a persona and we?ve needed somebody like that at the club for a long time.
As a player, he?s definitely getting better, he was miles better than Barry on Sunday who seemed to spend the whole game moaning and feigning injury. He?d fit right in with that shower of shit over the park.
The big Fellah will be a legend, wait and see.
Cult legend!
Love him already, and he really is a useful player as well.

I reckon Marou should cut his ’fro off, but only for aesthetic reason.
I think Mr Fellaini should have a little bushy Hitler on his lip and a tramlined beard. Beckham will have nothing on this Belgian's image rights.
I think we should go for that other Belgian midfielder in the January window - Dan Druff

Is his hair infectious? Just wait untill we see Howard, Yobo, Lescott, Yak, Vaughan and Vic running out of the tunnel in a look alike competion.
Sorry Hibbo. You ain't got no hair so no chance!!!

Course it's not rubbish... it's like sticking a pillow on your head and expecting it to not dampen the ball ? lol!
This is definitely one of the best threads ever.
Sean Patton captured my imagination with the beard suggestion.
Remember Trevor Hockey (giving my age away)?..... and of course The Latch had a splendid beard ?n all. Roger Kenyon as well. The bearded footballer seems to have all but disappeared. Not talking about these silly lines and things that seems to be a mandatory requirement at Juventus, but great big bushy fuck-off beards.
God I?m bored...

A beard would be absolutely awesome, despite the fact he was crap Xavier always stood out with his / beard combos and I reckon Fellaini should do the same, he’d go down a storm at seventies nights......
Like it Ray, doesn?t he have a bald Muslim cousin called Ali Peecia.
I reckon the whole squad shoud grow afroes ? that would be fuckin quality!!!
Imagine the Yak and Big Vic, it?d be like havin' Shaft and Lou Ferrigno up front!

Leave him alone.... I fucking love this guy. A Legend deffo!! Clumsly, Slow, but somehow very effective. Will get more goals than some of our strikers this season. He can play a little too, don?t knock him. All my mates love him, not just blues... everyone.... he doesn?t seem to give a fuck, just plods around getting his work done... great!!!!
I can believe it you are all completely wrong! I heard from a person who does all the hair cuts for the players that Fellaini watched an old episode of Harry Enfield. He also suggested that he in fact uses beer shampoo!
Someone suggested that he should grow a beard and thus instantly acquire cult status.
I agree. For with a beard he would be a dead ringer for the Brazilian Socrates. I?ll take it a step further and urge him to then start wearing nut-hugging tight shorts. This is not a gay thing but if he did that I would instantly worship him.

Sean line of the day "nut-huggers", remember John Barnes always used to wear Boston Ball Stranglers too
A distant cousin of my mate’s dad told me that he heard from his brother-in-law’s plumber that the word on the street is that Torbo’s out lookin for maro!
Maybe he should give up trying to head the ball and stick to A-fro in.
