Everton confirm rejecting 28M for both Fellaini and baines

[Wat Tyler]

20m is a terrible price with the Liege clause thrown in, we've taken a massive punt on an unproven midfielder and turned him into one of the most exciting prospects on the world stage, in addition he's still got a few years left on his contract and we're barely going to make any sort of profit at 20m

Agree with you, £20m is a piss poor price. And when you factor in we are going to replace him with McCarthy, it is shaping up to be a really bad summer for us. McCarthy isn't a ball winner snd isn't a goalscorer or a creative midfielder, he's a lesser Rodwell.

Fellaini isnt a creative midfielder though, He was only scoring goals because he was lumped up front my Moyes

Wouldn't mind a fit Rodwell playing with Barkley actually!

When did City buy a player and make you go "He was a bargain?"

Wenger doesn't know what he's doing now days.

Plus Kehab is also French, Wenger loves his French players and Mikel and Fellaini are not a good partnership either.

Hope this isn't true...

That has the 'derisory bid' for the pair turned down at £35M, whereas everywhere else it was reported at £28M....so why would we accept £20M for Fellaini now, when that would mean we've turned down £15M for Leighton? It's all media ****e.

He never is fit though mate

No he isn't creative but he is much more of an attacking threat than McCarthy.

No I think the important part is he plays for City

Id rather us put an £8 million bid in for Rodwell tbf, than £15 for McCarthy.

But no lad your right all the clubs in Europe heard king Moyes wanted him so they backed off

Annnd they all need someone like him?

Matter of circumstances rather than "ah fook it let's buy him cos we can".

And by your logic, there's plenty of mediocre teams who spend loads across Europe who could've done the same and bought him... But maybe he's that gash he wouldn't be able to play for Anzhi

 

[Brownie]

It'll end up being ever so slightly less than the release clause and David Moyes will be absolutely made up with the small amount of money he's saved by putting in the weeks of effort to get a deal he felt was fair.

When hes played up front

In his natural position he would struggle to get 6-7 goals a season imo, His previous seasons before last prove that

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

It's a shame that none of the oil clubs have shown an interest in Fellaini.

£20m isn't a terrible price, but it'd be pretty galling to see Moyes snap him up for that amount - one of the reasons his value has stalled is because he's spent most of his Everton career arsing about as a makeshift striker (just my opinion, of course).

With three years left on his contract I feel as though Everton should hold out for £25m (no add-ons or staggered payments), especially since they're dealing with the club who recently tapped up the previous manager and bullied them into selling Wayne Rooney for £10m up front.

I would point blank refuse to deal with them. They contrived to coax our manager away for free (who was quite happy to do so) and then send us a letter of apology whilst offering pathetic low bids for our two highest rated players and then to add insult, Moyes tells the papers we should sell them for their career prospects.

This behaviour is absolutely disgusting, I would go as far as saying more damaging than the sale of Rooney in 04/05.
The relationship between the 2 clubs had healed after the dreadful scenes when Rooney returned (fighting on my train home from work before the match even).

Been a long time since I didn't cheer on Man U at Anfield but this weekends game will leave me cold.

What I am saying is if he was as good as some are making out on here there would be more than just his Ex manager after him, Thats what it boils down to, Utd don't want him Moyes does, Nobody else just ginger balls
