pmsl, United getting the piss ripped out of them

what is done is done. COYB!

Can't complain if that £27.5m figure is correct. Must be a lot in add-ons and instalments surely?

Jonah S from London: Looks like all of United's negotiators this window were imposters.

 

[Jimmy Flangemoth]

Will be weird seeing Fellaini elbowing one of our players in the throat when we play Utd. Decent fee like.

 

[The-Golden-Vision]

Think Felli will be a huge hit at Man U tbh.

 

[Stutheblue]

What a rollercoaster. Sorry to see Felli go but think £27.5m was a fair price taking into account his transfer request and lateness of it all. Just glad we got some bodies in, particularly Lukaku. Bit concerned about the 'loans' but hopefully we will make some permanent signings next time round. The phone call to Sky by 'Everton top brass' leaves them open to a backlash if funds aren't made available next time round.

No January window bullshed to put up with either now, if its gone thru...

(in which case) Get in again!

I know it's not popular here to praise the Management of Everton but I have to say from my perspective - Congratulations on a fantastic Window.

We've strengthened the squad undeniably, kept Baines (our most valuable player from a footballing perspective) and strengthened the financial position of the club, all in all a good night's business. And before I get shot down for saying it, it is important that our finances are strengthened even with greater tv revenues in the future.

Our ability to compete for talent in future windows depends on our relative financial strength and the quality of our team manager - it seems that Martinez has not only performed well, but is a manager that can attract talent to the club.

Feeling very optimistic for the coming months....

Can't really argue with that. Deulofeu, Jelavic and Kone on the bench alongside Joel, Gibson, Alcaraz and Oviedo looks strong too. Hibbert, Heitinga, Naismith, Stones and Osman might not even make the squad!

Marouane Fellaini joins Manchester United
For £27.5m, I'm being told. On Fabio Coentrão – United have till midnight to sort having sent preliminary deal sheet through by 11pm. (The Guardian)

 

[tommye]

Anyone who thought we'd get closer to £30m for him are kidding themselves..

how is 27.5 not closer than 23.5?

Costing a couple of mill more than RVP, Moyes career may depend on it.
