Fella

Re Licker's question:

 

If the monthly € 90 k figure is right, my guess would be that Fellaini will earn in one month over what he'd have earned in Belgium in one year. The highest earner in the Belgian 1st division (Mbark Boussoufa from Anderlecht) is believed to earn in the region of € 200,000 k per season. We just can't compete wallet-wise. A different thing on the pitch and on the night, though.

Boussoufa earns a lot more than 200.000€ per season. You're completely underestimating salaries in Belgium, at least for the top players. Most top players earn something between 600.000€ and 1.200.000€ per year.

PS last night I told you that Fellaini had signed, most of you were very sceptical. Does this mean that you'll pay my trip to Goodison Park?

Was Jamie's link from Standard Liege's official club site?

As I said above, no.

But, you can go to bed now. Trust me, you've got him...for only 16m€

Fellaini is yours, 100% sure. And now I'm off to bed...01:15 here. Fortunately he can't play against us in the UEFA cup.

I thought Jamie's link to it being confirmed was from the official Liege site?

No, it isn't on our official website yet. But, that's normal...it's 01:02 here, doubt if it will be updated.

Yeah i read that also from earier link, but standard fan said it has been changed to 90k/w in Belgium media. And that would be sick payday at Everton TBH

Correct. All Belgian sources are talking about 90k/week

First they said 90.000/month, but this has been changed to per week. In Belgium we don't have the habit if working with weekly numbers. Players don't make that much here

His salary of 90.000/week is a lot even for Premier League standards (love that word ), isn't it?

Stop having doubts, it's 100% certain.

Could luck with him. But he's not Robinho.

All articles say the same (16m€/5y).

I don't know if he's ready for the premier league yet. He still has a lot to learn, hopefully he'll get some time to adjust (probably not ).

I wouldn't have paid 16m€, that's the highest amount in the history of Belgian football (I think). I don't think he's worth it yet, he might be in a couple of years though if he keeps improving the way he has been the last couple of years.

Very trustworthy source, they don't post rumours...

Sorry to see him go, but 16m€ is a lot of money...

They do add a questionmark.

CSKA has nothing to do with the Fellaini transfer. They (CSKA) offered 4m for our left back (Dante), but the offer was turned down.

Transfer confirmed by another Belgian newspaper :

lesoir.be : Fellaini signs for 5 years at Everton, 16.000.000€, salary 90.000€/month

A lot of money, almost our yearly budget.

According to the Belgian press Fellaini signed a 5 year contract. Everton paid 16.000.000€.
