FELLAINI GIVE FIVE YEARS EVERTON. HE GOOD ENOUGH PLAY FOR MOST TEAM. DISAPPOINTED HE SAY THIS TO PRESS, BUT HE DESERVE TO PLAY FOR TROPHY. JULIO NO BOO HIM. JULIO JUST GLAD WE HAD FOR SO LONG. LIKE ARTETA.
I can't moan to be honest. I was absolutely certain he'd not sign a new deal and either run his contract down or go for a cut-price fee.
Whilst signing a new deal of course meant a lot of dosh for him, it did us a massive favour as he signed a 5 year one. It does put us in a strong position financially speaking, and I think Marouane has been pretty decent about it. He knows like we all do that he really could play for almost any team in the word, but instead of refusing a new deal and going on the cheap, he's allowing us the chance to get a good fee and some kind of reward for the massive amount of faith that was put in him at the time.
Of course his comments were disappointing, not for their content but for their timing and public nature, more than anything. But I think it was more a case of him not thinking rather than deliberately trying to engineer something.
The timing was better than it would have been if it had been at the start of the transfer window! I think Felli has been OK about it. Don't forget he's stayed with us despite what must have been great pressure from many, including his own father. We might be able to hold out for 40 million, and in the summer, not Jan, and the guy is a pro so I still expect him to be committed to the cause until he goes, whenever it is.
I wonder if he,ll be booed like anachibe was a while back?
