Hands 'off'...., not being pedantic but it does matter because it makes a big difference....

He can have the hands of Felli but not his chest.

How would this work ? We aren't releasing him from his deal it's expiring so what do we have to hold over him in negotiations ? It's possible I'd imagine he might say he'd do that but I can't see how we could insist on it because well frankly we can't can we ?

Kenwright made him pinky promise.

Bet Fellaini is made up with that!

Ah now it all makes sense , as long as he's done that , "swore down" or on "swore on his mam's life " we're laughing .

That's what I was thinking. Everton don't have any leverage.

'If you promise not to sign these two we'll turn a blind eye to your meeting with Ryan Giggs.'

If the players put in transfer requests then that will be that.

There are ways round a gentleman agreement, he should have it written in his exit interview documents and signed. the only problem with this is, there is a risk of Felli becoming a minge and moaning about it and not playing

Can just picture Kenwright and Moyes in the office. Kenwright on his knees, grovelling, tears streaming down his face.

"Please Davey! They hate me as it. That b*****d Blue Union will have a f*****g field day if you take Leighton and the hairy one! Don't do it. Please David. PLEASE!......... I'll dance for you. You'd like that wouldn't you, Dave? C'mon, you want Big Bill to dance? Yeah, you like that, don't you David?..... yeaahhhh!"

Afterwards, 'Big Bill' consoles himself with a Kinder Egg. He opens the surprise, only to find he's already got they toy inside.

He lies there, desolate. With a plastic frog 'on swap' and no manager. And just the faint hope that Moyes liked his dance enough to not rob his players.

The days of the boys' pen are but a distant memory.

Baines wouldn't hand in a transfer request imo, he's not one for rocking the boat.

Said this at the game on Sunday but if Baines did turn down United last season when Ferguson was there, why would he suddenly jump ship with Moyes at the helm ?

Sure you can say Baines knows Moyes but you'd be a lot more confident in a United team led by Fergie than Moyes, and if you turn down not only the chance to go to the country's biggest club but also to work under the country's best manager why would you go the season after ?

I just can't see it.
