Fellani.

I did mention about Manchester United trying to nail down the signing.
That has now fallen thru.

I can now confirm that unless Chelsea come in for him, That is the only way we will see him in the Prem League. Otherwise he will go to Spain/Germany
He has a number 1 requirement, when playing,
HE IS A MIDFIELD PLAYER. Not a 2nd striker.

Chelsea need a replacement for Lampard.

It is believed Chelsea will come in with a 26 million bid next week, We want 30, but they will start the ball rolling by the end of next week.

What about the much touted £24m release clause for teams in the Champions League?

2.) 25 Jun 2013
If we wanted 30 the buy out clause would be 30

3.) 25 Jun 2013
The fact that you mention we want £30m dismantles your credibility in one fell swoop when his buy-out is nearer £24m. Stop talking nonsense as if you're some kind of insider on the deal.

Wonder if psg will come in for fellaini, they seem short on midfielders

A buy out clause is a minimum.

People need to get a grip. credibility? its a rumour site with none De plum posters, yer jim henson creation.

Why would they come in with a 26 bid and us hold out for 30 when his release clause is 23?

7.) 25 Jun 2013
A buy out clause is a, erm, buy out clause. So, for example it's £24m. Arsenal bid £24m, Everton can't refuse it. Now Manchester United want him, they're not going to bid more because they don't have to. They will bid £24m. Then chelski enter the mix, and they bid, say, £24m and they are free to talk to him. It won't go up a penny even if there are 50 teams bidding for him.
Therefore any mention of £30m destroys credibility for someone who's implying they have an inside knowledge of the deal.

Everyone is missing the point with the Fellaini deal. yes his buy out clause is 24m, however if Arsenal come up with the money and Chelsea also come into the race with a 26m bid and PSG for example come in with a 28m bid, then we naturally except the bid from PSG: So although he has a buy out clause of 24m, that is not the maximum he can go for.

Sailer- Why would chelski offer £26m and/or PSG offer £28m for him when they only have to offer £24m? I'm afraid it is you who's missing the point. It's not rocket science. Then other factors come into play. Wages, location, chances of winning trophies etc, etc.

Some people just don't understand what a release clause is. If there is a £24m release clause, any club that proves they have £24m to spend can talk to the player. Nobody is going to bid more than the release fee, ever. If there are several clubs competing for the player, they offer higher wages, the release fee stays the same. It's not that hard to understand, is it?
