Manu insist they have paid Everton no more than the Â£23.5m release clause that was in Fellaini's contract (a clause that expired at the end of July) but Everton say the deal is worth Â£27.5m. The difference is understood to be Fellaini's own cash sacrifice.

so we got 23.5 for felli and saved ourseves a few miion in future loyalty payments to felli, but he wasnt sold for 27m

still, I think I'd rather have mccarthy and barry anyway - feli ain't that great - he's good at a few things but not a complete player - slow sometimes too

REALLY PREFER MCCARTHY TO FELLANI, HAVE YOU WATCHED A GAME WITH FELLI IN THE TEAM?AND WHEN HIS NOT? {Ed025's Note - dazza, stop the capitals mate!...they will be deleted next time..

Its just been on tv that the deal is 26.5 with a further million in add ons. Plus sky say we saved 750,000 in loyalty payments to fellaini so the deal is more like 29 million not the 23.5 man u want us to believe. Its not an undisclosed so the truth is out there

Have Man U disclosed it as Â£27.5m? If they have then that's the price, as they HAVE to declare it to the New York Stock Exchange.

Alan Myers just confirmed the fee. Felli didn't take a Â£4m hit. The fee is understood to be Â£26.5m rising to Â£27.5m.

Sounds like bovine waste to me, a lot of Utd fans not happy at paying over the odds by dithering and thinking they could get him on the cheap.

They have to do something to take the pressure off the dithering one and this would seem like spin to do that.

Dazza - I watched FA CUP Everton vs Wigan where McCarthy was fantastic and was at it from the off at 100 miles per hour all over the place, whist felli and osman cruised around in first gear just expecting everton to win - mccarthy shoved it right up us that day - mccarthy wil be our engine

McCarthy will be our Gerrard in time

Oh no, we'll have to let him get his own way with the juke box then! ;)

The unt story is just that, they PAID Â£26.5M + 1M ADD ONS = Â£27. 5 M. This story is a pathetic face saver for moyes and unt. PS. "Word on the street " is that moyes will be back in January for baines. However, this suposes that (a) moyes is still in the job, and (b) that they have another Â£27.5m burning a hole in their pocket.

Dazza felli stood out in the acm role he played before christmas because he could beat the cbs and outmuscle players and bring the ball down in tight spaces, at dcm for me gibson is better than him and works twice as hard, his passing is not the best and he much less effective, do I prefer to have mccarthy, with barkley in acm and now lukaku up top, n100%
