Seen that the Echo are reporting some very vague statements from the big man via the Belgian press. He basically said that he wants to play CL football in the future, which the Echo have interpreted as he basically wants out.
Is this piece of 'news' really even worth mentioning? I mean if a top class midfielder aged 23 didn't want to play at the very highest level then I'd be more concerned.
I still think there's a good chance of him signing a new deal even if he only stays a further two years to leave for a decent fee.
God I hate journo's!!! Not just this story but all the constant transfer guess work that's passed off as having some level of credibility. I propose that if there is in fact no news on a club on a particular day then the pages should simply read 'No news today'.

Every player would want to play in the CL!
Another non-story.
Fella will be with us this season, but if he has another good year I can see the likes of United,Chelsea and Arsenal interested!

Season before last he looked the part but last year I don't remember hearing anything about him,was he injured or out of form?

I can see him extending his deal. Unless something improves he will be gone in 1-2 years.

Fellaini was playing well in his def-mid position before he got injured. Breaking up play and playing through the midfield.
He'll have had a good rest and I think we'll see the best of him next season.

"Everton have held 'encouraging' talks with Marouane Fellaini over extending the midfielder's stay at Goodison Park.
Fellaini, 23, has two years left on his deal but is reportedly considering his future.
Everton's board are relaxed, however, after talks with his advisors, and are confident he will sign a long-term deal." - Daily Mail
