All other top clubs are fine with not having a similar plan B. I think he has been useful in various situations but time to move on and a build a team properly instead of depending on the easy way and playing long balls to him. Time to build a team who plays proper football and for our managers to have different solutions than just throwing Fellaini in. It's best for everyone.Could be brinksmanship on his part. Fellaini's demands of £125,000 a week would work out at £19.5 million over the course of a 3 year contract. Now for all his issues, I don't think you'd bring in a much better caliber of player for that amount in transfer fee and wages over 3 years. United might yet cave in order to have a plan b or c in reserve.
I'm guessing it's West Ham.Apparently, EPL clubs cannot announce free transfer after deals within the country until the contract expires. Explains why he said July 1st.
Looks like he's staying in England. Think it's Arsenal.
Oh fecking hell... I'm going for a celebratory tug.He actually said he's already signed a contract elsewhere, and will announce his new club in 5 days (according to Belgian journalists).
Agreed with everythig you've said and have no desire to see him remain, just conscious that Mourinho has been very vocal in his Fellaini support so would not be surprised if there is a last minute contract offered.All other top clubs are fine with not having a similar plan B.

Arsenal I guess
I’d agree with that if his new manager plays Fellaini as a central-midfielder, but if he’s played as a number 10 in the way Moyes had him at Everton then he’ll annoy plenty of opposition teams.Personally think Matic would eat him alive now though. Pogba could deal with him too if he got his finger out.
I was surprised enough to see that someone bought his shirt in the first place, but how the hell did you manage to resell it?My thoughts exactly.
He is a handy player that has impressed many of us. I even bought a jersey with his name on. Loved how he turned his stature around.
But, given his technical restrictions and the mere 900 minutes José gave him this season I cannot tell why he should earn something like 150k a week and get a three year contract. He surely must see that he is asking for far better terms then what his value entails?
I don't think he'll see this the other way, so - then it's bye bye from me (already sold the jersey).
Just out of interest like, but what would you do if he signs a new two year contract ?Oh fecking hell... I'm going for a celebratory tug.
Feck aff and don't let the door hit you on the way out, ya big lump! Didn't really mind for Fellaini but he's shown to be a bit of a dick during these last few months.
I'd have a cry wank.Just out of interest like, but what would you do if he signs a new two year contract ?
I'm reliably informed they are the best ones, bloody hard work, but worth it in the endI'd have a cry wank.
Still, I hope I don't come to that.I'm reliably informed they are the best ones, bloody hard work, but worth it in the end
PL clubs can approach PL contracted players within one month of their expiry of their current contract, from what I know. I can't imagine why you couldn't announce a contract in those circumstances.Apparently, EPL clubs cannot announce free transfer after deals within the country until the contract expires.

A bit harsh. I'm sure he's being asked about it all the time, and as far as I know this is the first time he's commented on it in the last couple of weeks. He probably doesn't want to say where he will be going while he's still under contract with us, hence why he said he'll announce it on July 1st when our contract ends.Does he think that he is fecking Griezmann? Hey Maroune, you actually need to be good at footy to speak this nonsense, and even then it is actually better to not do it.
Sorry I missed your post, i'd just popped out to buy a big bag of onions....Still, I hope I don't come to that.
Fellaini has way more on the ball than McTominay. Also he is way ahead physically and as an attacking strength. No idea why people go so extreme and say players like McTominay and Cleverly are better. Pogba and Matic? Two of the best in the world obviously Fellaini is behind them.I really struggle to understand what Fellaini can do physically, that you couldn't get McTominay, Matic or Pogba to do (in a pinch). And even if it has to be a replacement, there's bound to be a better all-round player out there.
We don't need a dedicated lump in the squad.
I quite like the idea of having an "enforcer" in the team.With highlights videos like this (the first one that comes up if you search for "Fellaini highlights" on google video), I can't believe that clubs aren't falling over each other to sign him.
Jose will drag Fellaini back through the door, into our club.David Moyes. What’s almost more baffling is why this complete moron of a man’s tactics survived two new managers, and we’re only now at a point when Fellaini could be out the door.
I also think the club is not keen on him staying. That's why they offered him a one year contract. A token gesture to Mourinho imo.I think he hates it here. The fans never took to him and he’s represented the lowest point for this club in 25 years. That’s why he’s asked for a ridiculous contract - might as well if he wants out anyway.

Clutching there, United only offer one year contracts to those over 30, and have done for yearsI also think the club is not keen on him staying. That's why they offered him a one year contract. A token gesture to Mourinho imo.
I don't know how true that is anymore, we signed Schweinsteiger on a 3 year deal at 30. We also gave Valencia a 2 year deal at 31 last summer.Clutching there, United only offer one year contracts to those over 30, and have done for years
BS was a few months shy of his 30th birthday when he signed, and as for Valencia are you sure ? Think he's on a yearly-rolling contractI don't know how true that is anymore, we signed Schweinsteiger on a 3 year deal at 30. We also gave Valencia a 2 year deal at 31 last summer.
Schweinsteiger is 34 in August so he was almost 31 when we signed him in July 2015.BS was a few months shy of his 30th birthday when he signed, and as for Valencia are you sure ? Think he's on a yearly-rolling contract
None including United it seems, as much as Mourinho seems to like him he obviously didn't see him as a 1st choice player. He wants to be playing every week, he won't get that at United. If he leaves it will because he wants more playing time.He had it perfect here. Reasonable amount of games, the match-going fans starting to warm to him, better performances and respect from his manager. I'd imagine decent money, too. To crush it all like that is weird. I thought he genuinely loved it here. How many top top teams will take him and give him a good amount of playing time?
Seriously, I've seen a lot of your posts, and can't help but to wonder, how old you are. I mean no offense, but, it's rathet worrying.I'd have a cry wank.
