Wenger is not interested in Fellaini.
No-one was.

Utd prepared to sell Fellaini this summer

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Carrick, Fletcher, Fellaini and Cleverley are the four midfielders we currently have. Let's say we purchase two midfielders, that would give us two new first team players and so I think it'd be suitable to keep 2-3 from the existing crop. The issue is who stays and who goes? Carrick and Fletcher are unlikely to leave the club, who would buy them? Cleverley could do well under van Gaal (I don't really know though) and Fellaini has only been here for one season. For those reasons, I think it is possible that all our existing midfielders stay at the club, but none of them will be first choice if this summer goes to plan.
Exactly. People are being far too negative here. He is hopeless for us and in the sort of role we wanted him for, but Everton had signed him for 15M, he performed exceptionally well within the Bolton-like remit assigned and was arguably an 18-20M player last Summer. Knock of a few million for the season he has had, knock a few more for us having no sue for him, add a few for him being Sam's wet dream... 15M is about right, 12M maybe once you allow for having to somehow subsidise wages.
That's what I would have thought too.
Just like Young, smaller teams won't take him on because of the wages he's on. That's the issue with giving players high wages, when it comes to getting rid of them it makes it very difficult.
Carrick turns 33 this year, I think he will eventually be reduced to a squad role but will be kept around because his game doesn't rely on pace and stamina, and his positioning is still useful especially when paired with a more dynamic midfield partner. Fletcher I wouldn't want to see him go and I dont' expect to, I kind of see him retiring in the next 2-3 years and will be kept around on the coaching staff or something. Fellaini and Clevs are the two who should be seriously worried about their United careers.
It was such an odd one. Everyone thought Moyes would take Fellaini, then it didn't happen for ages, then Moyes seemed to think he might as well do it. No-one else was genuinely interested, surely? He's just so clearly not top four.
If somebody can pick him up for 10 million or so he would be a great buy for a lot of clubs.
Perhaps even back to everton with barry only being on loan

i hope so. if he stays of course.
does anyone knows any player from van gaal's team at ajax, barca, bayern or even az alkmar or the dutch national team that is similar to fellaini? big, slow, not the best passer, somehow looks weak in the air at united despite being a world class air player when he was at everton and of course, the world's best chest controller. maybe someone can turn him into a good player again, maybe van gaal is the man.
But why? What's the point exactly?
He showed enough at Everton and for Belgium to have the likes of us and Arsenal interested. He had a awful year, but it was constantly disrupted by injury. I don't think he's united quality, but LvG may improve him.
By US, You meant Moyes?!
There is really no reason why we need to make efforts improving him. Many players can be improved under good managers for sure. But if we focus our efforts on other players with more talents and better attitude then maybe we can be more effective.
When you looked at Fellaini all season, his talent was quite limited and h
He hasn't half got his work cut out. So far since he took over I've seen that he's going to improve Fellaini, Bebe, Anderson, Zaha, Cleverley, Valencia, Young and that's just off the top of my head. He's a brilliant manager but he's not a miracle worker.
How th
His name in Van Gaal, not the bloody Messiah. It'll take a miracle on a par with the loaves and fishes to turn that useless lump into a United player.
I'd be delighted if we could get a fee in double figures for him.
Nothing worse than seeing one of your players act like a thug at home against opposition he should be better than. Its unbecoming of a united player and he's lucky he wasn't sent off 4 or 5 times this season.
He's not even strong for a big man, he's all hair and no muscle, I saw fecking Sterling shouldering him off the ball and Gerrard smashed him in a 50/50 header at Old Trafford.

I honestly hope we never ever have to witness him playing for United again.
It'd be daft to sell him at a huge loss when there were plenty of players who were just as bad last season who we'll be keeping no questions asked. He gets an unfair rap and the impression people have of him on here is just sour grapes from that time Fellaini dominated us as an attacking midfielder when we lost 1-0 to Everton at home.
He's got plenty to offer going forward as a deeper midfielder, as he showed against some decent opposition at Everton before Moyes was forced to stick him up top because they couldn't afford a decent striker. He's neat and tidy on the ball, his forward passing is underrated and he's a good tackler when players are running at him (as opposed to when he's chasing back from a more advanced midfield position, when he can be clumsy). My prediction is that he'll have a good world cup, which most people will ignore, and go on to be decent player for us when results pick up under a more confident manager.

heck..if you think of some of the players we passed over to get him....I never really bother about the money...but if he had done a job for us...Moyes screwed up pretty bad in many ways for us.
the talk is a 15 million GBP deal going back to Everton. Assume he will replace Barry.
Worth keeping if he turns out to be even half as good as he is in FM 2014. Complete tank.
Fellaini 'to be sold' article on the Caf. Guaranteed bites.
I don't think they'd take him to be honest.
its all speculation. going to be an interesting summer. I think he will be very good for a mid table team. perhaps West Ham or Villa or Stoke?
Still think we need to keep him. He's young, and his performance at Everton warrant another season here. It's foolish to use last season to judge our players who didn't perform well.
Hes a walking red card waiting to happen in every game, unless your willing to play him infront of 2 work horses as a number 10 then he is no use to us, to slow and immobile for even Moyes's system here, he will be absolutley lost under Van Gaal's total football
People hoping for Big Sam to rescue us should remember he's been given strict instructions to try and play actual football, as opposed to the weird aerial version he has invented. If he went after Fellaini, the fans will have him sacked in no time.
Send him somewhere like Galatasaray and it will be all fine for me.

I doubt we'll get anything like what we paid for him when we do sell him. Seems to be the way with United: buy high and sell low.
we'll be lucky to get half....he really is average...just like Moyes.
Wish we hadn't given him such big wages, it'll be hard to off load him without a big pay off. Maybe just loan him out and supplement his wages by £40k a week or whatever, he wouldn't be able to play against us but could injure our rivals best players without us going down to 10 men.
Can PSG buy him too?
Meanwhile at Old Trafford...the offers for Fellaini are pouring in:
Does that mean I should keep him in the squad? Because I am having a very difficult time trying to shift the bugger.
We are prepared to take a big loss on Fellaini

We should call up a certain club based in Paris. They seem in the mood to pay an absurd inflated price for players this summer.
No quotes or anything, but still let's hope so.
Put this headline into google news, and you see that every shit paper is reporting it, and none of the more reputable ones. I'm not holding my breath.
Time to throw that stupid wig in a fire so.
Like I wrote already, ship the guy to goddamn Galatasaray and let's not talk about him anymore.
