Fellaini says he'll stay... if wanted

On his salary, I'm sure the man can afford a decent barge pole..

Don't know what to make of this one. Lets push for 4th place and see where we are at the end of the season.

If he can bring in big money and he wants to go then fair enough. So long as it goes back into the squad I'll be happy.

Good to hear that Fellaini is committed to us, which probably means that he'll be off by the weekend.

BTW in Gary Neville's team of the season he had Fellaini, Jagielka & Baines

Sorry he fancies Manchester more than Liverpool, I find the city pretentious and over priced compared to the friendliness of Liverpool. Most out-of-towners prefer Liverpool because the city centre is easy to get around on foot and the prices are the best in the country for a city.

I spent a few weekends in Manchester when I was seeing a lady from Whittle le Woods but the pubs were disappointing in the city centre.... no music, fun or friendliness at all.

Maybe in Manchester the women 'slither' for him?? Who knows??

Happy New Year to all ToffeeWeb contributors.

This is fantastic news - sounds like an April Fool (with the Scouse girls comment) - if true.

He's a tremendous asset and our best, most consistent player, alongside Bainesy.

It would be so great if he stayed. It may also influence Moyes contract decision.......along with the promise of a few bob to spend.

I still reckon Chelsea.

It all sounds a bit too much like the usual back of the fag-packet wheeling and dealing that results in not much at all for my liking.

For someone who supposedly doesn't like the limelight he does an awful lot of talking to the press.

He does an awful lot of talking to the press because the Belgian media want to talk to him, because he's one of their biggest stars. Plenty of players would like to talk, but hard to get your words out if nobody cares to report them. He's our star player, the Belgian press follow his play and want to talk to him, he says he would stay here until 2016 if wanted. What in the hell is so wrong with that? It's funny because if he was ignored by the media plenty on here would probably be complaining that he doesn't get fair coverage because the press don't pay attention to Everton players.

And although he is highly visible, he will get more anonymity in Manchester. I would be surprised if he takes a city centre apartment - although that would be OK - so he'll almost certainly go to the very leafy - and expensive - southern suburbs, which are also handy for motorway links. I suspect he can afford it.

Get his hair cut? Nobody in football wants that and I'm surprised that an Evertonian should. The word 'iconic' is used far too much these days, but the Big Fella is not only an icon for us but for all football.

And Trevor, if you were being shown around by a lass from Whitle Le Woods I'm surprised you got further than Horwich. Next time you are in Manchester try The Castle, Oldham St. A trad/Indie pub with a good mix of nice people and a wonderful juke box and live gigs and drama in the back room.. Careful though, you might miss your last train home.

I wonder if DM has enough brass to buy Kenwright out himself?

I thought Fellaini was either city centre apartment or south Liverpool (Woolton / Calderstones) but there are plenty of places he could have chosen for relative obscurity that are not so far away or isolated from his team-mates (which is what bothers me). Southport is one option (doesn't have an L postcode and isn't contiguous Keith, so doesn't really fit with being in Liverpool) but there are umpteen others including the likes of Lathom and Lytham.

For now, I am happy to presume he prefers a luxury apartment with an abundance of eateries nearby to a sprawling pile with acres of ground and high fences.

Patrick (#401) - the name is Vadis Odjidja Ofoe (and has been stuck in my head since the end of August as I thought we would need him - or someone like him - at some stage this season), Even if Benteke was available (didn't Villa buy him outright; why would they sell at this stage of the season?) I am not sold on him. When Jelli rediscovers his form he will make Benteke look second rate. I am similarly not convinced that we would be best spending a large chunk of whatever limited money we have on a replacement goalkeeper.

If he says he is on contract and will honour it........... add to this the fact that he knows Everton will want to cash in rather than be thwarted by the Bosman free transfer rule at the end of contract........... so he knows the club will jump at it sometime ........the price goes up!!!!. Billy is happy to collect, Felli (and his agent) are happy to collect, the supporters are left wondering what will be done with the windfall....... we all know, really.............. straight in to the bank and maybe spend 10% of it on a team player replacement.

Sh one T. Am I becoming sceptical???

If he says he wants to play champions league football, so he gets slated on here. So he says he's willing to see out his contract unless the Club decide to sell him first (Ball, Speed, Feguson etc). The result is that he gets dogs abuse.

Why is he talking to the Media? Because he's one of the best footballers in the league and is surely in demand from the press. Its not rocket science.

Give the boy a break. we should appreciate his talents whilst he's turining out for Everton, starting with tonight at the Toon.
