Fellaini 'happy' to stay til 2016.

[ijjysmith]

Or hes saying sell me or I move for free in 2016.

2016 is gonna be crap isn't it?

All the more reason why it's so crucial to finish 4th this year. Then do it again next year. If he's playing CL football why wouldn't he sign a new contract? If not, as hard it as it to say, I can't blame him. He gets CL footbal and we get a pot of money.

Van Persie, Fabregas, Hulk, etc

Good point. Still, one can hope.

The bit about him living in Manchester "now" is a bit misleading IMHO. He's been living there for a while already, there's a video on YouTube from Belgian TV, "Un jour avec Marouane Fellaini", I watched it back in March, shows you his flat etc.

Good news for the club from a footballing point of view and a business one. Smart move

 

[Bluenose1995]

great news but by the sounds of things he wants to move on to bigger things regardless in the future so would sell in the summer providing we got a big cash offer (nothing less than £32 mil) than let him get into his last 18 months or so and sell for alot less

Yep, good player who wants to further his ambition but wants to help the club he loves out in the process as I said its a win win situation

..and then let him go on a free??? Don't think so.

£31.5m ?

£31.5m ?

We could get 5 players of Kevin M. quality I would be happy.

Bit naive to think Fellaini is making this comment out of love and dedication to his club. I'm sure he doesn't really love the club. At best he'll be gratefull for the opportunity we've given him and he might not cheer when he scores against us for his future club, but that's where his loyalty towards us ends I'm afraid. Fellaini knows he won't be around here in 2016. He doesn't want to be and the board won't allow him to leave on a free and rightly so. I'd hate to see him walk out of Goodison on a free transfer in 3 years time.

No getting away from it, he's been really good for us and we will miss him. However £20 plus million and the extra sky cash with Moyes's astute signings tends to remind me of how we now miss Arteta? Some of our best players move on but so do we ....

Spot on that.

 

[TX Bill]

Totally.

Ok he was a little naive with his comments a few months back, but to be fair to the lad hes only ever said good things in the past and he signed his latest contract knowing he could have got triple money elsewhere on a free.

Nothing but respect for him.

I never blame a player for wanting to leave and better themselves, Mikel Arteta, but theres a right way and then theres a Lescott way.

Well said.
