I am. But also because I think he wants to leave. I think Baines is the kind of player that will get his head down and turn out great performances regardless of what happens in the summer. I don't trust Fellaini to do the same.
There were a few occasions that put me off Fellaini last year (getting sent off against Stoke, and the performance against Wigan). He's a fantastic player, but I'd be happy if we got £24m for him, sooner rather than later preferably.
agree that they both need to put their heads down and show just how good they are, but I seriously expect both to do that. We all love Baines but his performances did dip in as many games as Fellainis, probably because of injury but the main thing is we need players capable of taking a game on when things aren't falling for us and if one of those players doesn't do exactly that week in, week out, its good to know someone else will. I would love Fellaini to do it a lot more, but he has been treated as a squad player and its not allowed him that luxury. I don't see any real problem with his attitude considering he is targeted a lot more than most players. an arm round him, given a chance to play week in, week out in his best position and we have two, maybe three players if Mirallas improves who will make me believe that any game can be won. 40 mill value is a cert for me after a year like that and I think its most likely to happen if he is kept. hopefully we will be in a stronger position a year down the line and won't see the point of selling even then
