7 months now since contract negotiations started, there a good chance he may not sign so what do we do.
1) allow him to run his contract down over the next 2 years allowing him to sign a pre contract jan 2013 and leave for free.
2)IF he still hasnt signed by christmas rate him at 15m and allow him to leave if a team comes near that price (even if its only 12 or 13m)
3) allow him to stay until next summer and then sell him for around 8m.

I think he was the best player we had today, I doubt we can keep him but with the time left on his contract I expect a Pienaar situation caused by a lack of clubs signing and a lack of player signing with nothing we can do about it.
-----------------
the problem is there are no teams that desperately want him.
we knew a year in advance that redknapp was chasing pienaar, but there are no takers for fellaini. ancleotti was after him but has now left.
personally I would wait until jan and see if there is any interest in him, if there is quickly get a deal done, and not have it drag like pienaars did, even if it means making a small loss.
But is suspect fellaini will give the old "I will wait until the end of the season until I decide my future" talk, knowing full well his contract is going down, and the fans as usual will believe him.
if we dont make europe, I think he will use this as an excuse to get out and come out with the old "the club cant match my ambitions, But everton are still a great team " BS like they all do.
From fellainis point of view the only way I can see big teams in the Cl taking a punt on him is if his transfer fee is very low

Nobody wants him... errr.... I'm supposed to be saying he'll leave... errrr.... right if I say someone will gamble on him for free then my argument stacks up.... errrrr....

we paid too much for him and he hasnt lived up to promise. assuming we can use the money to buy, i'd let him go.

finally calmed down after yesterday sambo.
You have to let people have their opinions even if you dont agree with them. otherwise you end up looking like a right ****head to other fans or neutrals who just browse the forum.
and we have been trying to get fellaini to sign for 7 months now,

i disagree mate, we should be trying to nail him down to a 5 year contract, the lad is quality, no doubt about that whatsoever.
