I can tell that at the pre match press conference moyes will be asked about it and then he will glare at the reporter as if he's said something rude about his ma

This kind of came out of the blue. Signs a new long term contract, tells his friend to come to Everton, and then decides he wants to leave this January or summer. ??

No one person is bigger than club so I'm okay with it as long as his price tag starts at 25 million.

"Inconsistent anyway" ............ And so it begins

£30m goes a long way when Moyes is in charge of it, however, I hardly believe this article and will refrain from any further kneejerk behaviour, Fellaini has recently signed a long-term contract and I find it hard to believe he would want to leave just after that and upon examination of our recent form as well.

Are we still signing Hargreaves lad?

Not bothered about this for 2 reasons:

1. We would sell Fellaini regardless if we got a big enough bid
2. I'd take these quotes (which themselves seem badly translated and contradictory) with a big pinch of salt

Don't forget we paid £15m for him 4 years ago, I'd think we'd want to make a huge profit on him

Depending on which source you believe it was €15m which at the time was equivalent to £12m . Personally I believe that the club didn't dismiss the £15m figure because it made it look like they were splashing more cash. That would mean selling him for £25m would be 100%+ profit.

Terrible news anyway. I'm sure his dad has been angling for this for years.

If he goes he goes, he's no Alan Ball......

Not much point asking people to look at similar players in a similar position, and then listing names that don't match those criteria. How many of the players on your list there had 4 years left to run on their contracts, were 25 (or less) years old, were established internationals, had no significant injury history AND had five years' experience in the prem (with at least two of those as an established member of the starting 11)?

Javi Martinez is a fair comparison: although he's more defensive he's also younger than Felli.
Javi Garcia only had two years left on his contract;
Rodwell had an injury history and isn't of the same standard;
Allen has one year of prem football to his name;
Nzonzi is not at Rodwell's standard, let alone Felli's;
Song.... six seasons with Arsenal = 140 games, 7 goals. He is exclusively a defensive midfielder and not as versatile as Felli.

Modric leaving Spuds is a fair comparison: despite being older he was arguably a more creative player. Remind me what his fee was?

Expecting Modric/Martinez money for Felli is not only reasonable, it should be regarded as a minimum. We should ask for £40m with a view of accepting any bid of £35m and above. Anyone bids less than £32m, we should sh1t in an envelope and fed-ex it to the club making the bid.

Contract- What difference does it make if he has 4 years or 2 years left on their deal? Arteta, Yobo, Rodwell and Cahill were well in contract and it didn't have any bearing on their price.
Age- Martinez (24), Garcia (25), Rodwell (21), Allen (22), N'Zonzi (23), Song (25).
Internationals (caps): Martinez (8), Garcia (1), Rodwell (2), Allen (9), N'Zonzi (6 U21), Song (34)....Fellaini (36)
Injury: Only Rodwell has had significant problems.
Prem Experience: Doesn't that only matter if the buying club is from the Premier League?

Song is as close as you're going to get to Fellaini. Same age-ish. Same amount of caps. Song got 11 league assists and 1 goal last year. Fellaini has 3 goals and 4 assists.

Modric! Are you serious?? He pulled the strings in a side containing Van der Vaart, Bale and Adebayor and will be competing with Ozil and Di Maria for a game at the Bernebeu.

You are living in absolute dreamland. PSG spent £49m on Ibrahimovic AND Silva, but you think we can get £40m for Fellaini? Kenwright and Moyes would never let a transfer drag out over months and months like Fabregas, Ronaldo or Modric which is what we would need to do to frustrate a suitor into meeting our asking price. And defensive-minded midfielders won't command the same sort of fee as someone who can unlock stubborn defences.
