Has Fellaini really got a £22m buyout clause in his contract ?

[Tubey]

Fair enough, but I disagree with your valuations.

I believe his right price is about 20 - 22 million, and that anyone paying 25million or above will be paying a hefty premium.

We paid £15m for him as a kid and he's not even in his prime yet. A mark up of a mere £5m would be disastrous business.

We have to be looking at close to £30m - £28m seems about right for me.

When everyone on here is crying for him to be played as a central midfielder, some even class him as a defensive midfielder, lol.

Like Fellaini himself?

I wonder what RBJ values him at.

 

[Pabbers]

Sounds about right to be honest.

Won't be until the summer I don't think though. But there will be many many more paper stories about him this month.

We will be looking ath the £30 Million mark, but all depends on who actually want him. Hope its Chelsea & City !

United, Arsenal, Barca, Real, Any Club in Italy will drag that fugure down, or pay in on appearances etc.

Beckham thought he was a central midfielder. It's why clubs have managers and don't just let players do what they want.

Another thing to consider is if there is a sell on fee we'd have to pay to Liege.

No idea if there is or not mind you.

He is a world class footballer who deserves to be plying his trade on the biggest stage.

What we should be debating is how we kick on from here and secure Champions League Football... Which unfortunately brings us back to the Kenwright debate and how he refuses to sell the club unless the new owners pay overs and keep him on as Chairman.

Sorry did I just that out loud.

Ignore me, carry on.

That would be rude to ignore you sir.....take a stroll over to the BK thread and bask.

Among the many tributes to Fellaini of late none can surpass the provocative analysis of Moyes who, having given the former Standard Liège player a consistent run as a defensive midfielder, recently remarked: "Marouane is probably the best midfielder in the country at the moment."

He's a far, far better central midfielder than a second striker. He's playing up there right now because needs must as we have no reliable second striker for Jelavic to play off, but he's spent his entire career in a deeper role until Jelavic arrived last January.

99% sure of it, selling the best 19 year old in your country......you 100% would have one!!

Also, the Liege president was with Fellaini & his dad at a Real v Barca game, as a guest of the Real president a coupld of season ago!!

Fairly sure that picture was fake mate.

Im happy about what Sheeds said.

This buy out clause might be nothing but a myth.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Would some on here be genuinely happy with £20m for Fellaini? Shocking business if we do. Doubt we'll have a minimum fee considering we'll be giving Liege a slice of the transfer, we'd barely recoup what we paid for him. We've brought him on loads since he's signed. £28m minimum surely.

He's a far, far better central midfielder than a second striker. He's playing up there right now because needs must as we have no reliable second striker for Jelavic to play off, but he's spent his entire career in a deeper role until Jelavic arrived last January.

And yet there was no interest in him at all before then, which is why he signed a new contract with Everton.

As if Fellaini is only being played in a more advanced role because of a lack of people who can partner Jelavic. He's being played there because he is very effective in that position, there have been plenty of opportunities for Fellaini to drop back, but Moyes has in the main chosen not to do so.

The massive hype and confidence in realising a fee of circa 25million has only come about since he has been deployed in a more advanced position. Anyone buying him as a central midfielder is in for a shock, because he is useless at tracking runners.

If you look at other big midfielders to be sold recently (Toure, Silva, Fabregas, Hazard, Oscar, Witzel, Martinez, Lucas Moura, etc.) 25-35 is the ball park.

So you buy him for 15m then think he might just be a superstar so lets make a cool 7m less his wages.
