Didn't we end up paying more than the release clause for Jones too? If we end up getting Fellaini for 25 mil, my only gripe would be that why wasn't he bought sooner, but then he might not have been our first choice.
Fellaini
- Thread starter Bilbo
- Start date

No. But please remember that this is a forum where we come to discuss opinions before condescending to people.
Do you know something we don't?
hold your horses son...I expect if we do get him it won't be until about 7pm Monday, just to really worry everyone
Just bid £23.5m, Everton will accept.
His release clause becomes active again every transferseason. It is the most they will ever get for him i reckon.

Belgian newspaper reporting that Fellaini is on his way for €28m

Is he in the Everton squad for today?
With our luck, he'll probably get injured today and be out for a few months.
We're never signing a central midfielder

How will we utilise his chesting-down ability if we play him deep alongside Carrick? Makes more sense to play him behind the striker :P
We will ask him to chest it up
Rio's hoofs might be a little more productive now.
Wonder how happy Baines will be if we sign Fellaini who is 25 - and Everton refuse to sell Baines who is 28 and for whom, this quite easily could be his last chance of signing for a top-4 club in P.L
Bet he will be pleased

I'll be honest I haven't watched much of Barkley play but what I am seeing today, I would rather united sign him them fellaini and baines. Of course it would probably be impossible to get him.
If a deal was so close, he'd never have played today.
Tbf for Everton unless we offer a fair bit above his asking price I don't see why they would sell now. They can have him for at least half the season or maybe until next summer when the clause reactivates. Gives them time to identify replacements if they need to or we might just leave it.
Everton are so awkward.....aren't Moyes and Kenwright best of buddies!
Richard Keys just said Fellaini has tweeted that he won't be a blue anymore, can anyone confirm?
Nothing on his twitter account, don't get where did keys get that from.
It's not true, unless he deleted it right away.
He hasn't tweeted anything.
I've heard it too, maybe it wasn't a tweet.
Keys is a clueless, talentless blancmange. I can't stand him.
Lying hairy cnut
Rooney will be pleased.
He is clearly our 10th choice backup and even this one we seem to have ballsed up...
Woody couldn't nail a slapper in a whore house at the minute. Even with 30mil.

Deal done according to the Belgian press for £24m. I'm going to presume we aren't paying it all up front, otherwise we look a touch silly for not activating the release clause weeks ago.

You're looking silly for paying £23m for a midtable player,
What was the release clause?
Would people rather us get him not at say a mil or 2 less or get him at the start of the window at 2mil more but with a full pre season with the club getting used to our style of play, other players etc?

It was always going to be Fellaini wasn't it.
Quiet sniggering turns into snorting if Fellaini signs.
