I agree and personally, all this his professionalism he is showing blah blah blh, rubbish. He is playing well above his level and on massive wages. Id respect him mor eif he moved on, one of the worst signings in terms of fee, talent and suitability to our side we have ever made. I dont really blame him for that, he was to me at least totally the wrong player for us to sign, a Moyes master Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime move.

According to some sources he makes less than Nani.
Disregarding both salaries and injuries for the moment, Nani wasn't happy in Manchester. Fellaini apparently is. He wants to prove himself. Well, let him try, then. If he is as laughably inept as his most vocal detractors insist, he'll be found out and shipped out soon enough.

That sounds ridiculous
Wouldnt you just fire your agent on the spot if a club wants to pay near £30 million for you and you were going to be paid as much as a squad player? All that pressure of being the record signing and you dont get compensated? Yeah right. He'll obviously be paid towards the upper bracket of our players and way more than Nani, who's contract we didnt extend for ages - it would have gone really fast if we had been willing to pay him a lot.
And you cant blame Fellaini for that, he'll obviously take whatever wages his agent can get him and he probably wouldnt want to leave after only a year, getting paid well and he will still believe he can prove a success here. I mean if he doesnt believe that, nobody will.
I don't know, man. I don't have access to the actual numbers. But according to some Fellaini's wage boost wasn't immense from what he made at Everton. And according to some Nani is on a hundred grand plus per week. I have no idea if it's true.
Seems moot regardless, doesn't it? If the sole reason Napoli didn't want him on loan was the fact that he got himself injured, then his salary can't be a problem for them, can it?
We would have paid a lot of his wages like we did with Nani. Thats only to be expected when you loan out an expensive player
If he did well theres the chance they'd take him off the books completely
A quick google search has brought up that Nani is on 100k and Fellaini 90k so he earns less.
Well, Nani still has done more for this club than Fellaini ever will, so who cares if Nani earns a bit more.
Pls just tell me once Fellaini scores an important goal for us, wins us 3 points (or even one) or scores a penalty in a CL final shoot out under pressure.
Having failed all this pls tell me once he doesn't look completely useless against some half decent opponent in a non friendly game for United.
Now I know Nani hasn't set the world alight at United, but the sad thing is that Fellaini won't even come close to Nani. He doesn't have 1/10 of Nani's ability, neither does he have anything else to compensate for his lack of ability. He is just extremely lucky to still be here, but hopefully his luck will run out sooner rather than later.

Nani is on 90k, Fellaini on 125 and is one of our highest paid players.
Its wrong.
I've seen that. I have also seen the 90k one for Fellaini. There is no real way to be 100% sure.
The 125k one is more accurate because when he was linked with Arsenal it was rumored he wanted 100k a week and that ended Arsenal's interest. From the daily shit in 2013
The 25-year-old, who currently earns in the region of £75,000-per-week at Everton, wants a hefty increase on his current weekly wage.
From Arsenal's current squad, only Theo Walcott and Lukas Podolski are in the proximity of earning £100,000-per-week.
In addition to his wage demands, Arsenal would also be required to meet Fellaini's £22m release clause - which could see the cost of the deal spiral to as much as £50m.

There's no way he's only on 90k when he was on 75k at Everton. People will pick what suits their arguments but 125k is way more realistic.
No one has any idea what salary he might be on - in fact it was suggested at time of signing by Moyes that Fellaini agreed to some kind of lesser deal to make the move happen
90k a week for Fellaini is not unrealistic
90k a week for Fellaini is not unrealistic
He supposedly forfieted 4M but that had nothing to do with his basic wages, it was bonus money. From the Express, September 2013
United insist they have paid Everton no more than the £23.5m release clause that was in Fellaini’s contract – a clause that expired at the end of July – but Everton say the deal is worth £27.5m to them. The difference is understood to be Fellaini’s own cash sacrifice.
By submitting a written transfer request on deadline day Fellaini, left, has forfeited about £4m in loyalty bonuses that would have been due on the two years remaining on his Everton contract . That has allowed Everton to declare the deal as being worth £27.5m to them.
Fellaini will make up for his lost bonuses over the course of the four-year contract he has signed at United, which has seen his wages jump by £50,000-a-week to £125,000-a-week.
But the frantic deadline-day move, which saw Fellaini hand in a transfer request to Everton manager Roberto Martinez, underlined the player’s determination to move.
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/426695/Cut-rate-Fellaini-forfeits-4m-in-United-move
The 50k jump in wages correlates to the 125k from 75k he made at Everton
He signed a five-year deal a year ago.
Since we know he was willing to sacrifice bonuses for the move then it stands to reason that he would not have been pushing for a massive pay rise and would have been happy even with a slightly uplift - he was clearly desperate for the move.
All wage info from papers is pure speculation anyway, you can look at 4 different papers and get 4 different estimates - someone has already posted reports of 90k wage
It is all quite unimportant anyway, the main issue of interest is whether LvG gives him a chance when he returns from injury and if so at what position - it seems that he has been told he will get a chance to prove himself at some point.
Everton directly refuted that newspaper report, stating that the full fee (£27.5m) had come from United.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/...-united-will-pay-all-of-marouane-fellaini-fee
Phil Neville's recent interview suggests that Fellaini was desperate to get his dream move to United so perhaps less likely to push his luck regarding salary. Even Moyes never suggested Fellaini was a star signing, so his wages are likely to be in line with other ordinary United first team players like Evans, who appear to earn in the region of £4m, more in a good year, possibly less in a season without CL.
Everton's accounts showed that Moyes was their top earner, on significantly less than £4m a year, so even the quoted £75K a week figure that Fellaini earned at Everton may be misleading. Everton's total wage bill would struggle to accommodate such an amount unless he was earning far more than other established players. Common sense suggests that at best, the £75K was an absolute maximum, paid only if various targets were met.

So people syaing he's on more than nani 100%.... nani is on 120k ? So you really think felli is on like 150k? more than mata? or around the same as mata?
Figures ive seen are like 70k which is still a big increase from everton

Can't see him staying beyond January or next summer at the latest. Ed has cut a ruthless figure, and Marouanne remains a haunting memory from last season's summer transfer travails.
Also seen a few mentions of him sacrificing a £4 million the loyalty bonus ? Am yet to read up those claims from a trustworthy source. Seems to be bollocks spread by Metro, Express and The Sun. Unless I missed one by BBC ?
But on the other hand a few reliable websites have refuted the notion of Fellaini forfeiting any portion of his wages :

And :

Even ToffeeWeb, which is generally pretty reliable on all things Everton had this to say :

After looking like he was out of the door because his contract wasnt being renewed and he wasnt being trusted in the team. Did you read?
Nani is on 90k, he asked for 130k on his last contract and United werent willing to meet it. Young is on 120 and Fellaini is on 125. Why is this so hard to believe?
He is fighting Blind for the midfield enforcers role. However one is neat and tidy on the ball the other just gets his legs in a tangle.
I see no place for him in the current squad. Swap deal with Strootman and £25m Roma?
He's only third choice in the role that Blind played today. At best. As bad as Fletcher is, I'd still have him ahead of Fellaini.
I really doubt he's in competition with Blind.
LVG mentioned him with the forward players in the summer and I think he'll be competing mainly with Ander and Di Maria as one of the players who get forward, not with the likes of Blind, Carrick and Fletcher for the defensive job because he doesn't know how to sense danger or track players and although its true he can make tackles, as you saw today you can make tackles further forward like Ander was doing.
There's also his front position, which is his best position but competing with Mata, Rooney and our 2 out and out strikers Falcao and RVP he doesnt have a hope there. Wilson or Januzaj is more likely to play there than he is

Agreed he needs to find another club in Jan, lets hope there are a few desperate ones about come the New Year. That or Moyes who seems to adore him is managing somewhere and buy him for around 15m.
That would be ideal, if Roma want him. Fellaini's slow kind of game is more suited to the wasteland that is the serie A
Have a feeling moyes will be at Newcastle by January and fellaini will no doubt follow. We will never see the best of him because he doesn't fit the style of play and he is a poor replacement for any of the players who played in the diamond today. He is better off elsewhere and we would be better off with a different player who can be genuine competition or genuine cover for our current players rather than just someone who can do a job.
If we continue to play a diamond formation, I can see Fellaini rotating with Herrera.
Blind (Carrick)
Herrera (Fellaini) - Di Maria (Januzaj)
Herrera (Fellaini) - Di Maria (Januzaj)
I see Fellaini watching us on TV.
Roma are used to quality central midfielders, hence we are interested in buying them
Up front they tend to want creative players like Totti or people to get on the end of passes like Destro
Unfortunately for us, Fellaini neither fits Roma nor has the ability to compete with their players
Maybe Cleverley can have a word at Villa
Ffs
he no longer has a place in this team. Thank feck.
Please not let him anywhere near that midfield while it's working.
It would be like letting an elephant loose in the porcelain store.
It would be like letting an elephant loose in the porcelain store.
going from Herrera to Fellaini is a massive technical drop. Good thing we don't have any need for rotation till after January.Do you really think Carrick has the defensive qualities of Blind then?
I Could easily see Carrick and Blind in the same Midfield but not Fellaini and Blind ever.
What?
Carrick has been playing the position Blind did for years with us. He's maybe not as mobile, but he makes it up with his passing.
This is a LVG team - we have yet to see how he would deploy Carricks range of abilities - you are just guessing based on history and personal feeling.
I would see Blind and Fellaini battling to be the sitting midfielder in a 3 (if we play this way) and Carrick being deployed slightly further forward.
We have missed a good holding midfielder for years and that person was never going to replace Carrick but rather complement him and give him more freedom.
We will just have to see I guess.
With Herrara and Blind looking decent today I think Fellaini is about as welcome in that dressing room as a rotten fart in a lift....he might come in handy in FA Cup games to give others a rest but i'd say LVG will make sure he is moved on in January
Carrick has been our holding midfielder, though not limited and he is pretty good at screening. Atleast was.
