First of all, let's unpack this phrase 'I have it on good authority'
That would be a crazy bid
The absolute minimum Fellaini is worth is £15 million. Probably a bit more to a side who want to use him behind the main striker.

Yeah if a side want to use him behind the striker it'll cost them their manager

This.
Apparently the first day Koeman walked into training at Southampton he saw Schneiderlin and said quite firmly that he wanted to keep him and wouldn't allow him to leave.
I would quite like schneiderlin but can't see Koeman allowing him to leave this window. He would improve us quite a lot and is vastly underrated by fans on here.

This would be a complete rip off, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's true.

transfermarkt's current valuation is £17.6M, and if anything they tend to be a bit below actual market. I reckoned 20 upwards to anyone interested enough, considering too that he's both a vital part of LvG's team and the quintessential United player.
Tbh I think in today's market and with his importance to us he's worth at least £72 million. Possibly more when you take the merchandising benefits he also brings.

It's not just the novelty wigs.
With a billboard of Fellaini's size you easily double the total advertising area.
I just made up this rumour that United are preparing the above bid in an effort to beat their competitors to the signing of the much-valued French int'l.

On the reliability scale I'd put you above the Sun and Goal.com, but below Guillem Balague

I'm thinking about creating this year's must have Christmas present - the Fellaini foam elbow.
25m+ Marouanne for Karim? Then you have a deal.
Nope, Schniderlin, like many players we sign, is good in a system we don't use.

Ah, good old Guillem, the benchmark of Spanish sports journalism. His reputation in Spain is up there with the Armada's.
Robb, did you use Di María's transfer fee as a reference to reach that £72 million valuation?
If so, I agree.
Red Cog, no need to lower the tone of this article.

I don't mind Balague too much. Sure he peddles a lot of faeces, but he is not the worst of the lot.
I am disappointed in Marcotti - though- whom i consider quite an insightful hack, but he seems to be associated a lot with an inferior hack in Balague.
Tainted by association, company you keep, yada yada.
Just an observation of this site, for the last few years all I've seen regarding transfers is "let's sign this dortmund player" " let's sign that dortmund player", "let's get Klopp in as manager", we'll all that's died a death this season, so who are we focusing on now?
Schneiderlin, Clyne and no doubt Tadic will be the next buzzword
The only player I see us going for from Southampton is Clyne. Strootman is the obsession for CM ...

Interesting observation. It is group-think which we are all susceptible to - some more than others.
Personally, if Reus is available (and Gundogan regains form and fitness), i would snap them up in a heartbeat as i feel those are potentially world class players.
Schneirderlin? Tadic? Meh! I don't view Clyne as an improvement on Rafael - the only thing he has over him is fitness.

Which is the most important thing. Rafael could be the next Maldini or Cafu but if he can't stay fit he may as well be the next Theon Greyjoy!
Mark, tbh I just picked a name at random based on what I thought I could recall from Robb's waxing lyrical on Soton. Could've equally been Strootman, Wanyama or, if I'd gone by last weekend, Clyne.
RC, I don't really pay attention to any hacks, I prefer to rely on the wisdom of ja606.
Kloop, despite this season, I still rate as one of the best managers out there. I'm as baffled as the next man as to Dortmund's BL form.
