Goal say Arsenal have already triggered Fellaini's release clause, £22m.

This journo says the same thing:

I wanted Fellaini at United.

Shame.

 

[3Sixty]

The Blades have spent 4 weeks interviewing every tinpot manager and even some non-managers going (Robert Page, Wally Downes and Keith Curle to name a few) and look set to give the job to Chris Morgan afterall..

Comedy club. Can't wait to go to work tomorrow now. The office Blunts will be on suicide watch and I'm off to the bookies to stick a tenner on them getting relegated to League Two.

Few bigger cunts in the world.

Hope he dies.

Lets not talk about it like it's done yet, we all know how easy it is to swoop in and get Arsenals transfer targets in the last moment.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Missed out on those 18/1 odds on Fellaini to Arsenal. I was refreshing twitter waiting for to see if the anything came up and then right before it did "betting suspended"

 

[flippedb]

If Milan's kit ends up getting golden player names/numbers, I'll buy a shirt with "BUTTRAPER - 69" on the back. It would only be appropriate.

 

[jtb]

Fellaini is exactly what we need. Wonder how much his release clause is... he moved for a pretty big fee to Everton, right? Can't see it being too cheap.

Media outlets reporting £24m.

That's reasonable. Hope it pans out

Chill.

If we want him all we need to do is bid the same.

I don't.

Agent Morgs has got work to do.

Stage one was completing United's seventh play-off collapse, and he's done a sterling job since then waiting patiently in the wings while the club leads their fans down the garden path with dream names like Kenny Jacket and that bloke from Australia who called them "Prehistoric".

Over to you, Captain Elbows.

 

[Clegg]

Chill.

Ya. But I'm not too sure if we actually want him or not.

If we aren't interested then we'd be missing a step imo. But I suppose if we don't bid for him then Moyes must have his reasons.

Wayne Veysey ‏@wayneveysey 6m

Arsenal's Fellaini bid was made yesterday - same day that Martinez was appointed new Everton manager.

Interesting

 

[pulsemyne]

Swansea got Jose Canas from Betis for free. Is he good?

 

[Vivalaraza]

Like I said yesterday if we're signing Strootman I don't want Fellaini, one or the other.

A second midfield signing has to be more adventurous and technically capable in the final third.

Gimme dat Thiago.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Wonder what type of wages Fellaini will be on at Arsenal?

 

[phaze]

Arsenal are really going into this window talking the talk.

Apparently they are in for Fellaini and Gazidis says they can pay a £25m fee and £200k a week in wages.

Goal.com say they have a "monster" story about Arsenal coming up.

Maybe this will actually be the summer in which Arsenal throw the shackles off and re-enter the top market.

Dare I let myself believe?

I really,really want to believe.

Provided we sign Strootman would a second midfield signing be likely?

I can't see us signing Strootman for £15m and then sitting him on the bench while we have Carrick/Thiago in midfield.

If we sign Thiago then we might also see a change in tactics.

 

[Salvadora]

Arsenal laying the gauntlet down. Fellaini is exactly what we need, along with with a top class striker.

This is our season.

 

[Clegg]

Wayne Veysey ‏@wayneveysey 2m

Key to Fellaini deal is that buy-out clause is £22million for a club who finished in top four.

The signing couldn't have been possible without Spurs.

Still pretty likely, we're still too thin on quality in the midfield. Plus it'd allow us more formation flexibility and the ability to rotate without worrying about weakening the team as much.

Sandro v Fellaini in the NLD.

The world is not ready.

 

[Freewheelin']

Felaini, yes pls.

A real cunt in the midfield is what we've missed since Vieria.

Fantastic player, would help us immensely

YES.

 

[Mangoverboard]

Going for Fellaini is a clear sign of Arsenal's intentions, hes exactly what they need.

I'd love the league to be nice and tight this year with the top four (5, Spurs?) all really close. Gimme some entertainment and drama damn it.

Alright lads fess up.

Who set up the fake dc account?

Or has dc gone meta on us and created his own alt?

Shouldnt a change in tactics be a given considering its Moysey now?

*drools*

dem golden striiiipes!

Meh, white or black ones look better on your shirt.

 

[Salvadora]

Moyes is still on holiday, right? Sneaky time to make a bid Arsene.

Sandro will be injured so we may never see it

Moysey loves 4-4-2 and playing with Wingers.

Play style will probably stay the same

Moyes could use his phone to contact United if he wanted us to match Arsenal's offer.

It's not like he needs to be at his office for a transfer to be done.

 

[Can Crusher]

Did you guys see Isco pulling a Iscoinho in the spain match? Didn't know he could do that. What a gem of a player.

I did. He'll do well at Madrid.

 

[Salvadora]

The Giroud deal was sealed through a text message.

It's not all about matching the offer.

He did it against Chicherin. He's not a real footballer, so it doesn't count

 

[kharma45]

Got my PWC assessment centre thing tomorrow, anyone else done one with them? Seems odd that the Belfast branch for consulting don't seem to do an interview at this stage.

I want him at City so much

 

[Can Crusher]

So, Cristiano is being a bitch, according to the ever accurate Marca, and asking between 18-20 million euros and 100% image rights.

Give him the image rights, pay him 15 million and get this shit over with.

But PSG, and Monaco, and City and.... United?

In this case, I think if United really wanted him then we'd get him.

The cross to the back post was godly. That little reverse nutmeg was beautiful. He is an absolute player.. I'm remaining hopeful that he'll follow his footballing father.

 

[Salvadora]

I don't disagree with that.

It's a deal that won't be resolved this early in the transfer window, that's for sure.

Santi Cazorla?

Arsene pls

Fellaini would be just the player we need in midfield, strong, can cover the back four and it also good at playing the ball.

EPL proven, too.

I'll be well sad if this doesn't happen.

 

[Meier]

I already love Ferna even more than before.

Fernandinho, the Brazil midfielder, waived £4m worth of assorted payments owed to him by Shakhtar Donetsk in order to force through a move to Manchester City.

City still ended up paying around £30m for their main summer transfer target, more than they hoped, but their conviction that the money has been invested in a stellar character as well as a top player appeared vindicated when the combative deep‑lying playmaker sacrificed such a large sum.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jun/06/fernandinho-signs-manchester-city-sport

Legend. The link also says that Navas is in America with the Spanish squad (prep for the Confederation's Cup I imagine) but will have his medical done there shortly and that will seal the move.

 

[Zabojnik]

Yaya + Fernandinho will be a fucking beastly midfield. I'm calling it: CITY CHAMPIONS OF ENGLAND 2013/2014!!!
