Fellaini apparently cost £17.5 million with 'add-ons'. If Utds bid is still £12 million for Baines, this would value Fellaini at £16 million, i.e. less than Moyes paid for him originally before he had any Premiership experience and was still pretty 'raw'. The bid is an insult, and has rightly been dismissed out of hand. The only thing tarnished here is Moyes' reputation.
I would love to see
Moyes come out and explain their offer. Regardless of who sanctioned the offer,
Moyes os now the face of United, and all that happens, he's in the frame for. I will not even give him a sideways glance any longer.
While at Everton, absolutely NOTHING happened without his expressed permission, this is how he bases his success. It is very unlikely that at the one place he has been trying to get to, he will change his tactics for management. he's comfortable in having teh final say, so he will continue to have the final say. Moyes has deffo sanctioned this offer, and fair play, but if he expects anything less than whats coming to him, then he's a fool.
