Kompressor Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Something's telling me this transfer was attempted for the same reason as the Thiago and Cesc. Refuse to believe the people in charge didn't know the deal would be as complicated as it is/was/would be. As that'd be terrifying for the future.

Flojo Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 So in the end we never went over the buy-out clause...  Marouane Fellaini gave up £4m in loyalty bonuses to save Manchester United move from collapse Marouane Fellaini spared David Moyes the embarrassment of ending the transfer window without a new signing at Manchester United by sacrificing £4 million in bonuses to seal his £27.5 million move from Everton. By Mark Ogden 10:30PM BST 03 Sep 2013 On a day when Manchester United pursued the signings of Fellaini, Leighton Baines, Ander Herrera and Fabio Coentrao, as well as making an early-morning inquiry into the availability of Mesut Özil prior to his move from Real Madrid to Arsenal, the champions headed into the final hour of the window with nothing to show for their summer-long efforts to strengthen the squad. Everton’s refusal to sell Baines and Real Madrid’s failure to sign off a season-long loan deal for Coentrao, because of the collapse of their move for Granada full-back Guilherme Siqueira, had denied Moyes a new left-back as cover for Patrice Evra. The United manager, who pulled out of a move for Athletic Bilbao midfielder Herrera late on Monday evening after refusing to meet the Spanish club’s £30.5 million valuation, looked to be on the verge of missing out on Fellaini following a similar stand-off with Everton over the Belgian’s price tag. With Everton demanding £27.5 million and Moyes unprepared to offer beyond the £23.5 million escape clause in Fellaini’s contract, which expired on July 31 but was due to be reactivated on Jan 1, the 25-year-old broke the deadlock by waiving £4 million in loyalty bonuses to get the deal done in the final hours of the transfer window. By submitting a transfer request shortly before 8pm, Fellaini ensured Everton would not be forced to pay the player £4 million in loyalty bonuses, enabling the two clubs to agree a deal worth £27.5 million to the selling club. It also meant United would pay the £23.5 million figure regarded by Moyes as the limit of his valuation of a player he signed for Everton for £15 million from Standard Liège in 2008.  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/10285053/Marouane-Fellaini-gave-up-4m-in-loyalty-bonuses-to-save-Manchester-United-move-from-collapse.html   Everton's director of communications Alan Myers has shot down those suggestions, insisting the £27.5m for Fellaini is coming solely from the Old Trafford club.  Myers wrote on his Twitter page: "For those asking: No Felli did NOT pay £4m of the transfer fee! The buying club will pay £27.5m."  http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-united-transfer-news-marouane-2250461 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshie Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I thought it was a case that Everton didn't have to pay £4m, we pay £23.5m so essentially they save/make £27.5m. Fellaini didn't pay £4m, but Everton saved paying him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojo Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 You paid £27.5 million according to him. Journalists from the Echo were saying that this £4 million loyalty waiver was nonsense right from the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
