Brazilian fernando marcal apparently a reported target for us . Never heard of him before but I'm sure knows what he's doing . Scott Parker also linked with us could be a decent buy

Parker would be a good addition 'if' and only if we keep Felli

Dave M

I know Scott Parkers family he liked moyes n kenw right when he came for talks b4 he signed for Newcastle

Just been told everton our signing Darren fletcher on loan with view to buy

Again, not for me. Not a bad player but he has stated himself that he is struggling every day to keep his illness at bay and has been told by doctors it could flare up at any time. Wages alone during a lone would be a risk never mind a longish contract.

Popeye

Hope not can't c point no betr then wat we av rather us giv Barkley a chance!

Moyes considering a cheeky loan bid for manchester united striker Danny Welbeck

One of the most overrated players I've ever seen If he wasn't at Utd he would never have got near the England team.

got a mate who works in london close to tottenham and it looks like tom huddlestones move to everton is almost done.

Hope so hess a good player

Does he work fur spurs or do spurs just send out a weekly newsletter to all the local residents about their transfers

Can't believe people don't believe it! We need a defensive mid, Moyes has been after him previously, he's a big lad and a good footballer, he's down the pecking order at Spurs, this has Moyes/Everton written all over it! JP {Ed025's Note - i think he will go to sunderland..

If felli has got a 22 million release clause in his contract, then the people who sorted that contract want sacking! The guy is worth 40 at least!

Agree in principle with those comments, however, nobody knew how good he would be.Feel if Everton continue to improve and maybe get a couple of key signings in January we can keep all our better players.Chelsea and the person of an owner make me sick.If Fellaini goes would prefer he went to Man utd and we could maybe get a pre contract to get Rooney back i am sure he would come.COYB Would like us to try and get this forren lad and either Nani, Milner both would be great.

If it was true, i don't moyes 'd said several times that no one is leaving this winter, nor that it would take an awful lot of cash to buy Fellaini...

Have to agree it would be a huge loss to our club to lose him for anything short of 30 Million... Would not be a big profit to build on with that the club deserves. But maybe that also had something to do with convincing hime to resign...

Based on this season's performances - where he's taken on the Tim Cahill sort of role - perhaps he is worth £40M, but was he worth that much when he signed his new contract? Be honest.
C.A.Jones

I am positive that if that clause existed then there would be a massive flood of offers already in from teams getting in first to sign him! I don't believe we have dropped to a level of allowing these contracts just to sign a player... surely Everton are bigger than that.

They did the best they could; Felli & his agent would not have signed the new contract without the clause, the agents job is to ensure the best terms for his client.
Other clubs pay 100k+ per week for top players like Felli and we are not able to compete so to keep the best players for as long as possible we have to offer these clauses. Gutted if he leaves but he has been great for us and should go with best wishes.

Im pretty sure that any buy out clause has now passed

Perhaps that's the figure that Fellaini's representatives insisted on before signing the new contract. Imagine if he'd gone for nothing at the end of his first contract.
C.A.Jones

The player has gone on record as saying he will stay till the end of his current deal 2016, so, cluse or no cluse, if he is a man of his word, nothing to discuss.

This rumour is a load of old rubbish.

Fellaini has no release clause in current contract. His previous deal did but that passed without being activated.

Everton will command a fee but he is worth what clubs are willing to pay. The summer will be interesting. Until then don't allow agents or vermin to unsettle us.

Toffeebidder

Isn't Felli's agent his father? If that's the case then I'd tend to agree with the 6th poster. If my lad was a professional footballer then I'd want the best for him. I love Everton as much as life itself but given this scenario I wouldn't allow my heart to rule my head. It's a relatively short career as a footballer and you're only ever one injury away from it all ending. I know they're all extremely well paid these days but if the opportunity to make yourself financially secure for the rest of your life comes up you have to take it. Domingo {Ed025's Note - let me inform you mate...he is secure for life NOW!...even if his career ended tomorrow, he would still be a multi-millionaire, his contract would still be valid, netting him close to £15m..

This is obviously rumour mongering by the mail i fail to see Everton not wanting to maximise their profit in alignment with previous deals like Wayne rooney vs dan gosling.

£30 million minimum or a package of

The rumor is that it can the clause can only be triggered by a Champions League side, Chelsea are no longer in the Champions League this season so won't that prevent them from signing him, Ed?

Also, we have as much chance in getting in the CL for next season as Chelsea or Arsenal hopefully from where we are at this point so why would he go to one of them? The only other English team who could trigger his clause in Man you this January (if the rumors are true) and I can see fergie spending that on him, especially if reports about Sneijder are true. So hopefully< I can see him going anywhere this january (at least in England anyway)! Lets hope!

S

CA Jones has it spot on. He probably only signed a new deal because of the release clause
Cheeks

IMO we would have had a bid by now if the clause was active so it may well be just a rumour.

I know it's a novel idea, but why don't the club come out tell us, it's in the public domain now, so it's not a case of alerting would be buyers ? {Ed025's Note - it may look as though we are putting him in the shop window..

I will be really angry if they let him go before the summer. Then if we get Chanpions League he should stay. Moyes said no one is going in January and Fellaini willing to stay until contract ends. Everton are a real threat now. Stand by moyes and give him advance on sky money. This rumour is rubbish. Wouldn't mind a response from EFC on it though just to put mind at rest. It would be a disaster if Fellaini left now, he is irreplaceable. It's about time we said no you are not having our players! {Ed025's Note - im with you mate..

If there is a release clause you can be 100% sure his agent will have alerted all the top clubs so these clubs will know where they stand and what the transfer fee would be
Moyes said he were to be sold it would be for a lot of money.. well £22 million is one hell a va lot of money.
Part of Demba Bas release clause was, I believe, that it could only be activated by a CL team so I wouldnt think that if Chelsea were to come in for him that would be an issue.
Finally to give Moyles an advance the Sky money would mean the club woud have to borrow and in view of the past postion with the bank and the recent decalred losses I doubt that many banks will be looking to allow Everton to increase their borrowings.

So your telling me that if you had guaranteed 20mill coming in next season then the bank wouldn't give an advance? Course they would.

Where have you been? The banks have been looking to reduce thier exposure to loss making business and fotoball, and in this instance, Everton, is not a profitable business the last two sets of accounts reflect significant losses.
Whislt the increase in Sky money will help based on the past all that has happened when TV money increases is that wages etc go up.
Irrespective past examples of where clubs have used an income stream to adavance significant additional borrowings have nearly always resulted in disaster. Look at Leeds and Rangers for instance.
I very much doubt that the board at Everton will be prepapred to throw away their cash flow forecasts nor would I expect will the banks allow them to

If you all want to know were the story about his clause came out from have a read about his agent seems a dodgy person at best :

Marouane Fellaini's agent is Luciano D'Onofrio.

This is important, given recent rumours of buy-out clauses and Felli's move out of the city. Some people suggest the buy-out clause story was planted in Murdoch's Times newspapers and that everything is being built up to a move. But by whom?

An article in the respected When Saturday Comes magazine (issue 242, April 2007) described D'Onofrio and other agent developments:

"With the heat being turned up on agent activity in recent years, it is perhaps not a bad time for members of the profession to be considering a sideways career move. In England, the FA have been promising (though not as yet delivering) tougher regulations. In Italy, in the wake of Moggigate, forensic investigations into the affairs of the country's largest company of football agents, GEA (run by Luciano Moggi's son, Alessandro), are being carried out, but it is in France where agents have been given the greatest reason to sweat. Last June, seven agents were convicted of involvement in the Marseille transfer-fee scandal in the late 1990s, along with former club president Robert Louis-Dreyfus, head coach Rolland Courbis and several other club officials.

One of those agents, Luciano D'Onofrio, received two years in prison - including 18 months suspended - and a 375,000 (£250,000) fine. He subsequently resurfaced on the board of Standard Liège, where his brother Dominique was technical director. Last year Luciano was barred from any involvement in football for five years. There has also been a major probe into 15 transfer deals involving Paris Saint-Germain between 1998 and 2003 - including Ronaldinho's move from Gremio - which has seen a host of the country's agents come under close scrutiny.
