Everton confirm rejecting 28M for both Fellaini and baines

[formerly manx toffee]

would make sense. Anything near the 30 mill mark would be good business. 8 mill for McCarthy and we'd have a nice little 20 mill to mess about with, or knowing Bill, a nice little 20 mill to go missing.

Never get McCarthy for 8m. I wouldn't want to pay te reported 12-15m though.

I'll be gutted.

 

[Goodison Groaner]

My hunch is that the guaranteed payment will be less that £23.5m and United will feel that they've done us over. But... the will be a significant number of add-ons which will take it up to £25m+ and Kenwright will feel he's achieved a moral victory. So both parties will walk away feeling satisfied and a new forum thread will run to over 200 posts in which the 'winner' will be debated.

I think i got him on my FM game for about that, hence why i said that. Agree 12-15 is steep, can't believe we let Fer through our fingers...

can't believe we let Fer through our fingers...

takes me back to my teenage days that mate

 

[Goodison Groaner]

My prediction then... United to report it as £20m on the stock-market on Monday/Tuesday. We'll include the add-ons and report it as £25m on the official website.

I don´t want to lose Fellaini. McCarthy isn´t a third of the player Fellaini is. We´re getting done here.

'undisclosed'

£36m? Am I missing something obvious here???

 

[Goodison Groaner]

I think United have to report the fee on the stock market although I might be wrong. I always assumed that's why we knew every detail/add-on in the Rooney transfer.

 

[Tubey]

I think the Mirror are including his contract in that figure, £28m is the story coming from Belgium.

That would be the most ridiculous way of reporting a transfer ever!!!

 

[Goodison Groaner]

The news coming out of Belgium is €28m (Euros) which is around £23.8m. Basically the buy-out clause that United could have triggered last month if they hadn't tried to get him on the cheap. We should have refused to sell for a penny less than £25m in the circumstances.

That would be the most ridiculous way of reporting a transfer ever!!!

Especially if United have to report the correct fee to the Stock Exchange anyway.
