Leighton Baines & Marouane Fellaini Thread

Club asked him to do it.

Fellaini has been great for us, this is a great move for him and us AS LONG AS THE MONEY IS RIGHT.

Good luck to him and the way I see it all he has just done is forgone his loyalty bonus, which only aids us.

Got to love that terrible ex-Sland striker making out like we're a League One side.

**** for that. Saying Baines' 'day will come' even if he has to wait 6 months for his big move. ****!

Not sure how much faith can be put in this

I bet the fee for Fellaini will be different in different articles. Be interesting how the club spin it.

Saves us money by handing in a transfer request, it would've been what we were waiting for probably

Fellaini was telling team-mates on Sat that he was ready to submit a transfer request. Odd that he left it so late.

Interesting...

Reckon that it's the club that have made him hand in the transfer request before he goes. Not only because of the bonuses but a little PR number so the club can make out that they're helpless and make fans think 'good riddance'

 

[arminisgod]

Interesting...

that would suggest HE wants to leave, none of this we are forcing him to hand one in.

Id still tell him to **** off

 

[Fidgell]

Still think hes staying. We are delaying it till after the deadline!

 

[Netromelo]

I'm just worried we won't get a replacement in.

 

[Chang Elephant]

Fellaini isnt to blame, and neither is Kenwright. If we are getting more than his release fee was, the only clowns in this are Moyes and that new United CEO.

It's Kenwright's job to create a financial environment in which we attract and keep top players. A clown probably would have done a better job.

 

[ToffeeDan]

and we're screwing the Baggies down for Cheebs. We just need an extra few days to mop up all those free agents.

 

[Tramps_mate]

He's going and no replacement..

If the club have engineered him handing in a transfer request, it's a good thing, it means he ends up costing us less. I think it's been obvious for a while that he'd prefer to leave, why not make him hand in a request?

Fair play to the club, I'm pretty happy with the way this has been handled - yes it's frustrating that it's been left so late, but at least we're getting a decent price. It's in the interest of the selling club to leave it late like this - look at spurs and Bale.
