I'm not having that on two counts:
i) Arteta and Cahill were far more valuable too us, far better players, and went through far greater periods of form and speculation and never once angled for a move away. Arteta left after giving us the best years of his career playing alongside some real ****e and never once said a thing. So firstly, I don't accept he had to open his mouth.
ii) Secondly, I could perhaps forgive a genuinely great player the odd choice quotes. I really could make an effort; but Fellaini? The baseline of my whole viewpoint is that he isn't even that good, why the hell he thinks he will light up the Champions League I don't know, because he won't. So I imagine it really comes down to more money - when doesn't it? - again, what does he feel he has to justify someone splashing £25 million and £100k a week on him? Can't imagine any club would be stupid enough, if they are then good luck to them. I don't think he's even good enough for us!
