good god no, does anyone else think he's only twice the player he was from when he 1st joined? i know everyone knows we don't have money, but he has the potential to become the best centre mid in the world by the end of his career. young, long contract, sexy, an absolute monster who can dictate games on his own as well as versitality. i have less money than kenwright but if i was owner it would take a 40m offer before making me think.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no and no
Is it? If that's the case it must be one of the big reasons he's still a Blue
There aren't too many teams out there prepared to spend that kind of money.
i'd sell my brother for £30 quid. As an eternal optimist I think it would be wrong this season (i have a selective short term memory + its my first season ticket season). For the first time in at least 3 years! we have a chance to achieve european qualification which is worth at least £15m which we won't achieve if Felli goes, and if Fellaini is worth £30m now he'll be worth at least that at the end of the season so what do we really gain by selling him now? Also lets all be realistic we're not going to sell 1 player and bring in 5 - we simply can't afford the wages.
Besides if they sell Fellaini i won't renew my season ticket and thats worth £5k over 10 years, so be warned Bill!
i'll shut up now.

It's a difficult one, because although Fellaini may only be worth £30m to the sort of clubs who could afford to come in for him, he's worth a lot more than that to us. Our team without him is a different beast.
I'd want £35m minimum and the knowledge that ALL of the money would be re-invested before i'd even consider it.

I take it from the thread title that you are one of these people that still can't pronounce his name or even say it the way that it is spelled ?
Although you probably do pronounce it the way that YOU spell it.
FELLAINI pron. FELL-EYE-EEEE-KNEE although the Englishised version is Fell-A-knee.
When you sing his song do you not find that after his name you are out of time with everyone else ?
I got in the car last night an Lcab was on talksport already, he was going great guns until FELL-EE-arrrr-Knee.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Blue Bill would.
Not this season, not for £30m and not to any team in the Prem.
But it's important to look at the long-term view. We have seven players aged 30 or more who are regular starters ( Pienaar and Jags - 30, Osman and Hibbert - 31, Howard - 33, Distin - 34 and Neville - 35 ) and not all of them have natural successors in the squad.
The money to refresh the squad has to come from somewhere, unless Coleman, Duffy, Barkley, Gueye, Junior, McAleny and Vellios ALL fulfill their promise and become established Prem-standard players. And statistically the likelihood of more than two of them making it is ridiculously remote.
If the likes of Naismith, Mirallas, Gibson, Heitinga, Baines and Jelavic can all maintain consistent high levels of performance, we can drop in someone to play instead of Fellaini in around 18 months to two years' time... which would coincide with the age at which you can expect him to peak, and still have those players (in the current 24 - 28 age bracket) on hand to help the new lad find his feet. THAT'S when I'd let him go to someone like Barca or PSG for £40m, nothing less, and use the money to refurbish the squad which will be facing the imminent loss of at least Distin and Neville.
It's actually the only way we can expect to hold on to Baines and Jelavic for any more than another eighteen months. Better to sell when you don't financially need to than to wait until the world and his dog knows the bank is after repossessing your house and kids. Players all eventually age, not all of your youngsters will make the step up, and filling out the squad costs money. If you look at it another way, this club could have disappeared down the toilet but for the proceeds of selling Rooney, Lescott, Arteta and Rodwell for between £75m - £80m combined.
