Has Fellaini really got a £22m buyout clause in his contract ?

I prefer rumours, much more intrigue and mystique.

Apparently, Fellaini is 1/5th Martian, accounting for his superhuman chest control and unfeasibly small feet.

Thats the red planet, therefore making him a kopite.
I heard he was from Neptune, a blue planet and with surface temperatures at 55 kelvin, one of the coolest planets in the universe.
Blue and cool, Jock, blue and cool.
 

Any clause relating to Standard Liege would, beyond ANY question, relate to a profit on the transfer and obviously would have been in the first contract. As there was always the potential for him to have been a failure we wouldn't have been handing over 15% of (say) £8M. Armed with this (potential) development the club might reason that £25M would allow Everton to realise circa £23.5M and trigger a release clause that is at a level acceptable to both Fellaini and the club. The likelihood of Everton inserting a figure of £30M at the time the contract was signed seems rather remote - though you may wish to believe that right now that sort of figure has become realistic.

Rumoured to be.

Still no facts.

Greg o'Keeffe from the Echo just confirmed the release clause, that it can only be activated by CL club and that the amount is slightly more than the 22mil being thrown around...Which makes sense because if you go back through this forum, when Felli resigned with the club in late 2011, it was reported the figure was 26M.

It will all come out in the wash.
 
I am bored of this already.


My two cents:


Fellaini is a fantastic player, probably the highest earner at the club, he will get more money elsewhere, and we all know is likely destination.

All this finishing 4th talk is rubbish, finishing 4th will not encourage him to stay, whilst we have a STRONG side at the moment, a visit to the champions league would probably be as embarrassing as our last jaunt, I would love us to qualify and play well, but we have a FEW, excellent players, in Fellaini and Baines, and others we could argue over.

However, a few injuries to these or suspensions and we are back to playing Jags at RB, or Neville in MF.


His comments twice this season about wanting to leave have soured my opinion of him and equally the way it was buried by the club made me feel uneasy, my own preference is to sell him whilst he is in a position to get a high value for him.

I DON'T want him to leave, but we have a £46m (?) debt? We are critically short all over the place, he is quickly becoming Mikel Arteta MKII by building a name
for himself, whilst not looking at the rest of the team.
 

With Moyes being so adamant that we won't be selling anyone in January, could it be that a condition of this 'release clause' is that it can only be triggered in the Summer transfer window?
 
Still all conjecture by journos though isnt it? Not one scrap of substance to any of it thus far. Yet again the media seem to want to sell a player for us.

I dont think he is going to go this window and really there hasnt been any development in this story as far as i know. Nobody wanted to know about it last season when he wasnt scoring as freely.

When did the club employ him, like. I'm miles behind the loop here.
 
even those pesky frenchies are at it now FFS!


Frank Lampard on the start looking for a Chelsea midfield. It could be Marouane Fellaini. The Belgian international is expected to sign 25 years in five European champion in the week. The player, who bring in 27 million to Everton, would gain five million euros monthly. Manchester United dream yet to match the supply of Blues to win the piece.
