Steve_E Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi guys, I'm Steve from Belgium. Following English football has been one of my favourite passtimes for some time now. And I've taken a liking of Everton after they bought Marouane Fellaini from my favourite Belgian club Standard. I've become a regular viewer of Match of the Day too this year with al the Belgians (well, like 3 or 4 guys) playing in the Premier League which has increased my passion for Everton. So I thought I might register on an Everton forum to keep up with the latest team news, plus the communicating might come in handy as I'm thinking of studying English next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Welcome to TT Steve, I hope you enjoy it here. What have you made of Fellaini's Everton career so far then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks. I didn't really understand why Moyes didn't play him in a defensive midfield role last season, but he probably had his reasons. Maybe Felli really couldn't cope with the pace of English football last year. But he looks like he's adjusted now and can play in the role was used to in Belgium. I think Everton and its fans are going to enjoy him the coming years (don't be worried about a transfer to Chelsea or something, the reports in the English press were totally different from those in Belgium).

holystove Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Welcome Steve. There's already a couple of us Belgians on here . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 He was played in the defensive midfield position at first Steve, but in truth, he looked absolutely out of his depth there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks guys, I already feel welcome As I said, Felli probably needed time to adjust to the pace last year which is of course a lot higher in the Premier League than in our Belgian Micky Mouse competition. But I believe he has the talent to succeed in that position. And by the way, who are the other Belgian members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
