Player Valuation: £6m
I want to keep him. I think he can take us forward with another quality midfielder with him, possibly Barkley or Rodwell
I think he will sign a new deal in the next few weeks give us one more year and then want to leave next summer if he thinks the club isent moving forward
If he thinks he is too big for the club, then GET RID ASAP!
IMO £15 m. is a lot to pay for a limited player. Yes he is good at breaking up play, but so was Carsley. Must of his passing is either sideways or short, never a defense splitting pass. He is not very quick on his feet and never ever tries a shot.
If we could get £25 m. for him it would be a good deal. We could sign his replacement (McCarthy from Wigan) and two wingers in N'Zogbia and Morrisson (from WBA). That means that the money we would get from Yakubu and Yobo, and maybe Bilyaletdinov and Heitinga could be put towards a super center forward.
The best def mid since I began following football was Redondo, and Fellaini is nothing compared to him.What does he say to suggest he thinks hes bigger than the club,he has said like all top players that he would like to play in the CL at some stage which i think is a fair comment
As for being a limited player he is a def mid and does his job very well,prob one of the best in europe when hes fit thats why the likes of Real Madrid are intrested in him, you say hes not very quick on his feet well he doesnt need to be his ball control and close touch make up for his lack of electric pace.
15m how much did Mascherano go for again?
"Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini has told the club his desire for Champions League football may force him to leave." - Mirror
hope that is bollocks..
It is utter bollocks. The Mirror have pulled a line out of the original interview (which was translated on here a couple of pages back) and made a nonsense strapline with a classic misquote.
Still...it drives on the forums posters who lap up every word printed in the tabloids.

What I'm trying to say is that for £15 m. I would expect to get someone who could tackle and break up play and then some, but we didn't. When I say he has slow feet it is not a comment about his pace, but his about his movement - Osman has quick feet for comparision. His pace is not good, but once he is up and running he is not slow.
