Everton reject Baines and Fellaini bid of £36 million

£36m for Fellaini and Baines. I'd be surprised they returned with a joint bid and go further than that. Probably target the former. But with Baines saying he wants Everton to agree a deal might be the carrot for us to return for him.

Everton aren't going to budge easily so it won't be a major surprise if neither transfer happens.

Excellent news, if true, about Nani's extension to his deal.

Currently I think Fellaini looks the most likeliest as Everton can easily find a quality replacement for him in the coming days. But Baines would be harder to replace and so its up to United to bid higher or give up on their chase. I'd go as far as £40 million and if that's rejected forget it.

£40m would meet Everton's valuation of Baines (£20m) but not Fellaini. I think they'd want about £25m for him which again is infuriating considering his clause was less than that a month or so ago! We might go to £38m but if they turn that down then they'll probably go back and offer £25m for Fellaini and get him instead of Baines.

Not to sure about the £38 million though. How do you think the £36 million current bid is split? I'd say £22 million Fellaini and £14 million Baines so from that if we were to bid around the £40 million mark (25:15) it should be excepted. £38 million wouldn't make a massive difference unless they added a few million bonuses on top of that to entice them. Although it looks like Moyes wants both the players since Buttner looks like he's on his way out.
£36m is the right amount for the pair.

Moyes is setting it up for a bid on Deadline Day that Everton can't refuse, I reckon.

Would still more than happy if we only added fellaini. Evra is in good form and its good if he plays. Baines is a top player but i'm not sure how it'd work with 4 players for one position.

However central midfield could do with a player like fellaini.

Anyone who thinks it's worth spending £45m on Fellaini and Baines must be stupid.

Would you rather not wait until January/Next summer and spend that £45m on a world-class CM?

Baines does seem like the kind of guy that could go on for a long time, and from what I've heard, Moyes rates Baines extremely high. Feels like Moyes is looking for a bargain on the pair, otherwise he would have at least set off Fellaini's £23m buy-out clause before pre-season.

Big month in November, we have Arsenal home and Tottenham away after two away champions league games. Happy to see the group, could have been worse, like Arsenal's :tongue: hahah hoping this somehow forces Moyes to sign somebody instead of getting an easy group, we will need to play well to top the group.

I think Moyes has around £80m to spend but i would rather he didn't buy, than just panic buy.
I think we will probably get Baines/Fellaini before the deadline, but I can't see us bringing anyone else in right now, I would be fairly happy with that though.

Yeah I've heard that too but if there's any substance to that story is yet to be seen. Andy Mitten on Twitter has said he's been in contact with his agent but to read the article you have to subscribe. Which is annoying since he's quite reliable.
