It is true as far as i know like the others have said, it's been mentioned in the past in various places, just seems to be one of those taboo subjects bit like "where has all the money gone Bill"

I saw something on twitter this morning that was saying he is not keen on a move to Russia.

Vellios likes the nightlife as well by all accounts

Vellios as well Haf, he came in off the bench and scored a few when no one else looked even remotely like scoring then because of ONE bad start he went the way of Duffy/Barkley never to be seen again.

Still think he will be here come the start of the season myself, United won't want to pay(will look for a cheap deal) and no one else seems interested at the moment.

Im just concerned about value for money, if the fee was £10m or less then im all for it, i said back when Roberto was first linked with us that id like to see McCarthy here, just not at £15m. However looking at some of those stats compared to others(as you posted above) then maybe your right, maybe he is the best we are going to get.

Yes his completion stats are like 84% but his key pass completion stat is only a meagre 0.9 and his interception ratings are only 2.3 tackles a game with an average match rating of 6.8. Don't want to get into stat wars with you mate, just think this could get very expensive if we are not careful especially as he's hardly in huge demand, i think we can do better elsewhere.

At the end of the day he is a championship player, and whilst i do think he would be a useful addition, 3 goals and 2 assists in 41 games last season for Fellaini's potential replacement. There not great stats imo not at the figures being mentioned.

I could maybe justify £10m at a stretch but more than that is crazy for a championship player, £10m was a lot for Zaha.

This. Man U and Arsenal both need a similar sort of player, also Man City signed a couple of midfielders but so far it's only us and Spurs that have shown an interest, so it's got to be for sensible money no more than £8-9m.

He will stay there imo, i don't see us or spurs paying the quoted fee that Wigan are looking for.

Shane Duffy ‏@ShaneDuffy34 1m “@jquinners: @ShaneDuffy34 u reckon ul b goin out on loan??” Yip Shane Duffy ‏@ShaneDuffy34 28s “@Jameswefc83: @ShaneDuffy34 Do you think you will ever be given a chance at Everton mate ??” Haha don't look like it lol

Baines, Mirallas, if he keeps going at this rate Coleman will be better than Baines before long, i honestly think most Evertonians have a very highly inflated opinion of Fellaini which is not substansciated by his efforts on the pitch.

This, let him disrupt the squad even more and make themselves look even more stupid(if that's possible)

It was just a small line in the free paper that comes on the train, it said both clubs were monitoring to see if Man U made a move for him.

Seen some reports suggesting Zenit and Anzhi are interested in Fellaini, id much rather sell to one of them at least we would get the proper value for him, i really don't want to deal with Moyes and the mancs

Kagawa has already managed to take Rooney's place Bill

Moyes is clearly struggling to get players in and is probably seen to have some influence over the players themselves having worked with them at Everton, they are probably seen as easy signings for him. Not what the fans want but it's players in who the manager knows. From our point of view it's more the fact we are all aware that there is a 50/50 chance of a Kenwright special on the last day of the window, explaining how he couldn't turn down the deal because of this and that, blah blah blah

Arsenal friends down here tell me that Wenger was not 100% sure about Fellaini and it was being suggested from powers above that it would be a good signing, hence him not wanting to pay the suggested price.

oh right, im not sure, you would think there would have to be some money involved somewhere, nothing is free these days.

This is what bothers me, if he or curse the thought Baines did go, Id rather see the cash spread about, id rather Jorghino at £9m and say Ince at £8m(i think it was) then there is a bit left over for a signing in january maybe. the possible figures talked about for McCarthy at the moment £15m-20m are crazy money, but Roberto obviously rates him and would like to sign him.

I agree with this, he is not costing us anything as such and if there was a problem, like Zoo said i think he would be on the first plane back to Barca. Some sources suggesting it was because he was being played out of position and did not understand what to do. I hope this is just a pre season thing, we have just got rid of a manager who repeatedly played people out of position with obvious negative effects on some players games. I for one am not prepared to put up with the next manager doing the same again, if Martinez is going to start all that nonsense, then he can do one as far as im concerned, im far from convinced at the moment anyway.

I don't want to sell to Moyes tbh, he's trying to get players on the cheap and considering some of the comments made when he was manager he can fook off imo. Id sooner sell to Arsenal or just keep him, but not them mancs.

Your wife is American isn't she Matt? just that the best way to get one is too import one from there tbh. You will pay premium prices over in Europe for a nice one or a money pit for less than £10000. Yet in the US for £10000-£15000 that will get you a decent working car. My mate is a muscle car nut, drives a Charger RT which he is about to swap for a Chevelle Super Sport, anything you want to know, or what the best way to get one is, i can ask him, he might even know someone who is selling one

I honestly think that was half the problem with Bily Haf
