Im interested to see Evra's reaction at united now.... Moyes publicly went after Baines and missed and coentreau ?.. Is he also a left back ? Not too sure.... Either way Evra's gonna be pissed off
Hate seeing that. Swerve that Dan
I expect you to adjust your tin foil hat and come on here Tuesday and quote yourself when Baines is still an Everton player.![]()
Face it lads there both going
"Everton intend to offer Baines a new contract now the window has closed and, despite making a profit this summer, £2m of the Fellaini fee is owed to his former club Standard Liège while the loan deals for Lukaku and Barry will cost close to £10m. Kenwright, meanwhile, finds himself in the rare position of receiving credit where credit is due."
Forgot about that.
So £32.5m in- £13m McCarthy- £2m Standard Liege- £10m loan fees= £7.5m, which is probably about what we spent over the summer. Maybe we have only broken even then after all?
Although Everton and the media stated the fee was £27.5m, it was in fact £23.5m, but we spun it as £27.5m because we saved £4m in fees to Fellaini because he handed in a transfer request.

"By driving to Everton's training ground and lodging a transfer request on Monday evening, Fellaini sacrificed £4m in loyalty bonuses. That allowed Everton to agree to a £23.5m deal because the overall gain to them was £27.5m."

By submitting a transfer request shortly before 8pm, Fellaini ensured Everton would not be forced to pay the player £4 million in loyalty bonuses, enabling the two clubs to agree a deal worth £27.5 million to the selling club.

United insist they have paid Everton no more than the £23.5m release clause that was in Fellaini’s contract – a clause that expired at the end of July – but Everton say the deal is worth £27.5m to them. The difference is understood to be Fellaini’s own cash sacrifice.
By submitting a written transfer request on deadline day Fellaini, left, has forfeited about £4m in loyalty bonuses that would have been due on the two years remaining on his Everton contract . That has allowed Everton to declare the deal as being worth £27.5m to them

that's the express, telegraph, and independent all saying Man Utd paid £23.5m (the original release clause and no more) and we declared it as £27.5m because we 'saved' £4m in payments to Fellaini. I'm inclined to believe that this is the case over and above Everton's Official Site stating the 'fee' was £27.5m.
So it *seems* we will receive £23.5m for Fellaini although the deal is worth £27.5m because we didn't have to pay £4m in a loyalty bonus. On top of that, the fee for Vic 'could rise to £6m' according to most reports (though the OS simply states it's £6m) and we may only be getting £4/5m or so up front/guaranteed. And various reports say the fee for McCarthy could rise to £15m. BBC said Everton reported it as £13m but Wigan suggested it was closer to £15m.
