Everton confirm rejecting 28M for both Fellaini and baines

[TheFinnFan]

Has Felli handed a transfer request yet?



ffs

Can there be two losers in a sword fight? I'd like Elstone to be mortally wounded before he lops off Woodward's head.

Yes, then we would have Malcolm Glazer V Bill Kenwright fight to the death in the arena that was in Running Man when Captain Freedom crushed Arnie into the spikes.

Second guessing here but I think an astute manager would see north of 25m as good business for Fellaini who's a fine footballer but worrying turning into a one in three player. Not that he has stinkers but only plays to his potential occasionally.

Perhaps it's the system and Martinez could get the best out of him but I also believe Martinez has an eye on McCarthy so if Fellaini freed up money for him and another good player then it could be construed as decent business for us.

Again, all guesswork.

James McCarthy not fit to lace Fellainis boots mate - he is a workhorse who scores very few goals!

Aye you could be right there mate, could be a downgrade which is no good to us. If Fellaini's sale allowed us to buy two potentially decent midfielders then it might be worth the risk.

How often do you think McCarthy has been played as a forward mate

 

[Joey66]

£35 million for the pair now being the rumoured next offer from unt - still not enough that makes it 25 million for Felli and 10 million for Baines - DM you went away please stay away!

I think its more 20m for Fellaini and 15m for Baines as they have already had a bid of 12m for Baines knocked back

Shut up Chico

Think since Fellaini arrived weve heard that his best and prefered position is DM. Hes been played there very few times for everton mainly due to the lack of depth and Moyes needing the employ him as a second striker.

Genuinely beleive that as an out and out DM, just there to be a terrier, harry the **** out of the opposition and play the ball 10/15 yards that McCarthy is the better option. Dont think McCarthy would have given up so easily on the RB for Norwich on saturday.

Pretty much clear that Martinez thinks so too. If anything around £20/£22M comes in for Fellaini he will be gone and McCarthy will arrive very soon after.

Shut up Chico

Sorry mate, but your implosion when the obvious happens will be ace.

If Fellaini goes then we'll spew too much on the ginger lid from Ecosse.

If we assume we won't sell Fellaini for less than the £23.5m of the expired clause (I know we all want more), then that would be £11.5m for Baines, which is nuts.

They'd still be about £7m short of something reasonable, which really shows how insulting the initial bid was.

Hopefully we just tell them where to go. Fellini had a well publicised clause up to July 31. If they really wanted him they could have had him weeks ago, for a reasonable price. Now we're into the season and could do without the disruption of their ridiculous bids and attempted head-turning.

A huge factor in the success of any selling of these players will be Martinez's ability to replace them properly.

You'd know with Moyes he's unearth a player or two, we'll have to see with Martinez.
