    No way he will walk out in Jaunary, so sick of the teen brigade stirring up silly rumours from the Sunday People

    Hope the rumours don't have a negative effect on us......

    hopefully we can keep him till the summer...but if a £30m chelsea bid (as is the rumour) comes in in January, he'll be gone...don't think we can turn that kind of offer down...

    Not looking forward to him leaving.
    Really not looking forward to him playing against us either!
    But it will happen.
    When? Who knows!
    If the huge offer Moyes wants comes in January, it could happen. But I would think all sides are thinking more about summer.

    i suppose the thing with January is, Felli isn't cup-tied for the champs league, so he's ideal for someone like chelsea....
    also the longer he keeps playing the way he is, his value is rising......gonna be a serious contender for 'PFA Player of the Year' the way things are going

    whatever happens just think if we all start seeing it as inevitable he goes in Jan then it will have negative effect on atmosphere and our chances of making champions league. we are roughly 3 to 1 to do it now with most bookies and their prices tend to be biased towards London and Manchester clubs. Arsenal and Spurs are imploding, and Moyes seems to have built a system to get the very best out of Fellaini so all the signs are that there is agreement between them to see how far he can go with blues. He needs assurances of first team football and a high profile in the build up to World Cup. no guarantee of it if he leaves and it doesnt work out. The banks maybe happy at moment knowing we can cash in when suits us, and as has been said his value only rising. At moment I think there is virtually no chance of him going in January. The media will continue trying to sell him asap but they have been wrong ten times more than right. Lets enjoy his time here and stop doing the Manchester paper's jobs for them

    we will get just as much money in the summer so no need to sell, at least in the summer we will have time to find quality replacements, felliani seems loyal and think he would at least want to see out the season with us, hopefully its a big european club so we wont have to face him, i would wish him luck and hope the funds would help us progress further, maybe ask for a player or 2 as part of deal, if chelsea try get sturridge/moses :))

    I don't want us to be favorites for it.
    I'm quite happy to have as many clubs as possible ahead of us in the betting!

    cheers. sorry for the misinfo..friend said 3 to 1. odds in shops tend to be shorter though. 13 to 2 is bargain if you can get it. Couple of Arsenal fans on radio saying they had no chance of top four.

    We certainly don't want to sell before the season is over and then 40 million is the minimum. I don't want him to go but he has said himself that it would depend on where we finish in the League.

    TBF, I thought the odds on that site were out of date, given that they are offering such low odds on Arsenal and Tottenham. This talk of betting brings me neatly to the Fellaini speculation (more old "news" is being rehashed in the Daily Mail today). I wonder what Kenwright and Co. are making of it? Do they decide to spend a bit in January and increase the probability of a top four spot (and therefore, the chance of keeping Fellaini and Moyes), or just sit back, in the knowledge that Fellaini's departure would generate enough funds to maintain EFC's "not quite top four" status for another few years?

    i use oddscheckers. usually pretty quick to change. can imagine its not fair reflection on odds of us getting there still though. can see most neutrals being swayed by media and heard the spurs arsenal derby described as the battle for fourth a couple of times. strange its not how the fans see it.
    I think there maybe an arrangement in place between Fellaini and Moyes that means he can go season after next if we don't get there. can't see him leaving to be hoinest if we just miss out this season and showing signs of further improvement. but plus side i reckon is that we can buy in Jan knowing we will either get there or get money in from transfers in next two years. maybe optimistic but Moyes seems upbeat so thats how i am reading it
