in the case of EVERTON REJECTING 38M BID, one can clearly say that everton are holding united for ransom with the transfer money involved. we should not go with the 3rd bid. 38m for those 2 players were just right. any more than that means we paid desperate money. 23m was the buy out clause for fellaini anyway. so if moyes go beyond this he AND RAT WOODWARD will prove themselves some big fool.

and I further say that considering such behavior; MANCHESTER UNITED should never sell to EVERTON in the future.

Mr Logic

I tend to agree but could you STOP SHOUTING?

Go in 40m if they reject - screw them and move on - they both aren't worth 35m never mind 40m

3.) 30 Aug 2013
Haha, bitter pill to swallow because Everton are sticking to there guns? You lot don't get it - we don't want to sell unless its in our best interest, tables are turning, as for not selling to us, we'll there's not a lot you could offer that we'd actually take.

Tim Howard 3m
Phil Neville 3.5m
Darren Gibson 1+1m (I think)

I agree with the ransom comment.

I'd like them both here, but 42m would be the limit for me if I had a say.

Oh and never sell to them in the future. agree with that as well.

U spat your dummy out there Logic, poor old Manchester United fans, boo hoo, rejected by us little Blues down the M62.

We don't roll over for anyone anymore with Bobby Martinez in charge matey.

If you bid 42 million for them both we may give it some consideration but cannot make any promises.

Please post this Ed as only friendly banter

Degs - a very happy Blue

One of my first posts on this site, was about how we tend to let other clubs get our players cheaply, and with the minimum of fuss, if it's decided we no longer require them.

I also said in the same post, after it was clear that Levy had put one price on his players for Utd, and a price for everyone else, that we should rethink this accomodating approach, and start to play hardball with teams, no matter who the player was.

I understand that teams have to look after their own interests, but I'm sick and tired of some of them trying to take the p1ss. If they want to play silly buggers, then next time they need a Neville or a Howard, or someone needs one of our young players on loan, then we should politely decline, and offer them to someone else.

Hopefully they'd soon get the message.

And before the Everton fans come on and accuse me of arrogance, I have said I understand their position.

But 36 million for a solid midfielder with an original 23 release clause, and a good full back, is fair, and you know it is.

We're not talking prolific strikers, or tricky, flying wingers, or creative no.10s here.

It's still only a midfielder and a full back.

Start playing fair, or we'll take our ball away.

Ye know what Ste you will probably get them or at least one of them, but not for 38 million mate.

A player is worth what the selling club thinks he is worth not what the buyer is offering.

Every season clubs bowed down to the mighty Manchester United and the reason was that SAF was the main man, by the way he is a legend. Not anymore mate, your transfer window is not looking good at the moment and the Glazers are reigning any spending in, Moyes won't be bothered though because if you sack him OBXMAS Moyes he will get 6 years wages at 100k per week. Its a hard life

I was going to say good luck for the coming season as most Blues liked Man U because of your hatred for the Koppites, but a lot of your fans have ruined that and I can honestly say you are disliked as much as the Koppites now, we WERE your only allies.

Degs, I understand the whole player's worth argument.

But you seem to think we need them more than you need to sell.

I think LB was always our last priority this summer, and most would have considered it a bonus if we got someone in, so Baines isn't a necessity.

I like Fellaini, but our midfield showed against the supposedly far superior, Chelsea, that they can do a job, better than a lot on here give them credit for.

I think we still have a squad equipped to win the league, or at least be up there fighting for it as usual. Yes, we're a couple of top players away from ECL success, but Fellaini wouldn't help much in that regard anyway.

I'd say, while aul Bill is telling RM, 'don't worry Roberto, we'll not sell them for 36m', he's also thinking, 'if Utd pull the plug now, 36m is a LOT of money'.

And you're right. It has caused ructions. My brother-in-law's a blue-nose, and he won't even speak to me at the minute, other than with heavy doses of attitude :)

Everton fan here I didn't realise that its was a given right to sell to man utd, I think you need to grow mate if we don't want to sell we don't have to, despite the fact your manager has tried his best to unsettle are best two players, maybe in future you conduct yourseleves with a bit more respect

i agree everyone has there selling points but it hasn't helped the way moyes has went about it, 36mil ain't worth much if you start falling down the table in the scale of things its buttons in the prem.

As for not doing business in the future, grow up, we took your bit part players you didn't want

I am rather unconcerned if we don't sign Fellaini. However the cost involved is subjective, yes Everton can reject the offers but equally both players are now aware of the interest and if United decide to look elsewhere it could leave Everton with two disgruntled players for the season ahead. A players value may be set by the selling club but the buyer has the option not to meet it. Everton should bear that in mind. I started by saying that I am not too concerned if we don't sign Fellaini as he would be far from my choice, in fact I hope Everton set an unrealistic price and it causes us to walk away.
I have said before I have an affection for Everton going back to the mid 80's so have no wish to fall out as a club but Fellaini is worth no more than £23m and Baines £12m given his age. I am disappointed if we go beyond £36m overall.
