How does he know it's wrong if his own comprehension of English isn't brilliant yet?

I have read he is highest paid player now ie must be on Arteta's 75K

Reports are that he is on 70k. The going rate I suppose.

What the fook!? Man, I wish I had been a better footballer as a kid! He makes as much in regular work week (Mon thru Fri) than most of us in a year. WTF!?

Except Sacko

Mate who is a shareholder tells me £20M over 5 years, although that might mean slightly less now and more each subsequent year.

he pays more in tax than I earn in a year....

Marouane Fellaini won more tackles, ground duels, aerial duels and made more passes than anyone else at the club during last season. Fellaini also won the ball 190 times in midfield, by far the most in the top flight.

Speak quietly, so Chelsea and Arsenal can't hear you.

Chelsea are eyeing a £20m move for Everton's 24-year-old Marouane Fellaini, who tops their list of candidates for a midfield enforcer.

Can't wait for the transfer window to shut.

Didn't know he negotiated a release fee.

He would have been mad not to. What is the fee? 20m?

I seriously like Felli & he is core to a lot of our play... but we could buy a hell of a lot for 24 Million & prob keep Baines too

I think Fellaini was one of the top 3 midfielders in the Premier League last season. He is irreplaceable and £24 million would be a steal.

Yeah, he's worth a lot to Everton... a lot more than he is to Chelsea.

He'd get splinters on the Chavski bench & beg to come back on loan like Peanuts... that we get the player & the money

He is twice the player Jon Obi Mikel is. He would fit in well there.

£24m for a player we signed for £15m 4 years who is now at least twice as good as when he arrived! Thats not great is it.

Im not convinced its true though. Its not the kind of thing we normally agree to but having said that - we were pretty desperate at the time he signed the contracts so who knows?

If we were to sell Felli we would need to replace him with 2 or 3 really decent prospects rather than old hat as our squad is getting old.

I won't get into the cynicism surrounding footy, but Felliani is an absoloute world class midfilder, a simple google search will return his stats last season, he has comitted to a long term contract on the basis that if a world class team comes in for him ( at the agreed price ) he will be allowed to talk to them, it's not rocket science, we can't offer him champions league footy, and only a handful of teams City, UTD, Chelsea at a push can - they, in particular will have a utterly frightening midfield next season with Mata - Hulk - Hazard - Marin + Felliani (?)

I'd like to think we've taught Felliani they mystical 'ways of Everton', humble and hardworking, which proves he will eventually get to the top. Sadly, it won't be wearing the Blue of Everton.

I'd like around £30m please Roman

Don't know if we can call him world class til he's been tested at the hightest level. Other than that, agree with the above. I only saw about five minutes of the Eng v Belg game but, in that short time frame, he looked the best player on the pitch.
