I said there were whisperings from a handful of Evertonians on internet message boards, which is all there ever has been, as you keep on proving through referring to a few threads in which a handful of Evertonians discuss the possibility of Fellaini having a release clause.
My word, are you really that desperate that you are referring to some comments made on TALKSPORT? Why are you having difficulty accepting that most Evertonians weren't discussing the prospect of Fellaini having a release clause until recently, and that only a handful were doing that prior to this year?
Compare how many Evertonians were discussing this prior to recent media reports, and then compare it to how many are talking about it now. There's no comparison, no comparison at all.

Of course he has, he keeps on raping me through referring to threads on a message board in which a handful of Evertonians discuss the possibility of Fellaini having a release clause. How can I ever cope with evidence like this, it just completely contradicts my argument, doesn't it?
I can't believe that you are still crying over the fact that someone dared to mention Fellaini's limitations. Are you really that much in love with him?

It's actually harder to find anything discussing Fellaini at the beginning of 2012 onwards that doesn't mention the possibility of a release clause.
Not only are you wrong, you're so wrong that you may have invented a new type of wrongness.
That was your original stance.
I have since provided you with multiple sources from outside internet forums. Mark Lawrenson, a well known football pundit, a Talksport presenter (who im fairly sure broadcast to millions of listeners), and a sports blog which has no connection to any Everton Forum. Among others.
On top of that there are hundreds of posts with in total tens of thousands of page views discussing his clause prior to January 2013. Many of them before Fellaini's recent comments about leaving.
But apparently that constitutes 'whispers'.
Okay.

You are aware that the article in The Mirror, in NO WAY mentions a release clause?
And you are aware that the rest of your links are from websites that have message boards, in which, wait for it, a handful of Evertonians have been discussing the possibility of Fellaini having a release clause?
You are aware of this, right?
Also, you said this thread had people expressing surprise at the release clause.
Can you quote all of those posts please ? Because from what i can see it's mainly people asking if the clause exists or how much it actually is, not being amazed at the idea of one existing (because most people who look on the internet for more than ten minutes would be aware of it).

Man, you are desperate.
Do you know what, I'm going to acknowledge your references to TALKSPORT (lol), and the really well publicised comments by Mark Lawrenson.
And what's this, there was also a blog written by some random feller, which you have only found through desperately searching the internet to find some isolated, hardly acknowledged report which nobody gave a feck about at the time of its publication?
Well that's it then, I really cannot argue with evidence like that. The prospect of Fellaini having a release clause was clearly known by the vast majority of Evertonians, and only a small minority considered the recent reports to be a revelation!
The recent media reports have made no difference whatsoever, because the majority of Evertonians were already talking about it.
Clearly.

Indeed. It's called "anecdotal evidence".
Now the onus is on you. I live in Merseyside, I talked about the Fellaini contract with fellow Blues going the match, talked about his contract at length with hundreds of Evertonians online - what have you got to back up this "handful of Evertonians" claim? See, we're linking you to Evertonians who are discussing it with ease, what have you got?
Anything? Nah, of course not.

Not a problem, you might want to take a look at the very first post in the thread. But you've clearly done enough desperate searching for one day, so I'll save you the trouble and print it below:
