Roman Won’t Pay £30M The Boss Has Far More Sense…
If there is one player that every football fan should have in their fantasy football team this season then it is surely Everton’s Marouane Fellaini.
The big Belgian has been largely unplayable so far this season, scoring six goals in the process and attracting plenty of interest from the Toffees Premier League rivals. So it may not come as much of a surprise that Fellaini has been linked with a £30million move to Stamford Bridge in January as Chelsea hope he can fire them towards winning back the Premier League title (link).
However, is the biggest barnet in the Premier League really worth £30million or is this in fact just the right price for a player that could really make the difference when it comes down to the nittygritty of the title race?
Well, there is no question that Fellaini would be a fantastic addition to Chelsea’s squad and would certainly give another dimension to Di Matteo’s attack and midfield.
Fellaini’s height and presence at both ends of the field is something that Chelsea have lacked since the departure of Drogba in the summer.
As well as the Belgians obvious goal threat, Fellaini could also fit easily into Chelsea’s new style of play under Roberto Di Matteo as he is very comfortable with the ball at his feet and also in the air.
If the Blues were able to sign Fellaini it would definitely give them a big boost in attempting to retain their Champions League crown and win back the Premier League title.
However this transfer possibility is bound to come down to whether Everton are willing to let Fellaini go for just £30million.
The rumoured price tag seems like a fair total for one of the best players in the Premier League at the moment but Everton could even perhaps hold out for even more than that.
But as it stands, £30million seems a bit of a bargain for a player that will almost guarantee goals and is practically unplayable when he is on form. Mr Abramovich should be writing the cheque as soon as possible if he wants to see Chelsea at the top of the league in May.

He won’t go for 30m. Moyes sold Lescott for 10x what he paid for him. Arteta for 4x what was paid. Fellaini was 15m. He wins matches on his own. He’d go for a lot more than 30m.

Doubt it. 30 mil sounds about rite. Wether it’s jan or the summer, he won’t be at everton much longer.

He’ll probably go next summer but he’s a year into a 5 year deal. Everton win whether he leaves or not. It’ll be at least £40 million with all the add-ons.

Very good player but for that price you could get two players, and yes he is a goal threat but would be playing deep for Chelsea . I’d be happy either way.

The Author would like to become Everton manager before january so that he can place £60ml price tag on Fellaini. Funny you called £30ml just.

Much more than 30 million. Has been consistent for a number of years. Can play in numerous positions and has been literally unplayable this year. Lets face it if Torres is worth 50 million and has been a failure then Fellaini has to be worth at least 40 million. Hopefully Moyes will get around 30 of that.

The boss has more sense… Shevchenko and Torres enough said

I disagree. I don’t think Fellaini is worth 30m; 20m is more likely. I also don’t think he would fit Chelsea’s style. Chelsea is no longer looking for big attackers like Drogba, they are after fast tricky attackers that can handle ticki taka.

30 million is small amount for this much of talent. Liverpool paying 35 for donky Carrol so Felli is worth much in advance this amount. I can see him travel to Manchester reds or chelsi because the guners are having past there time. I think he worth the 40 mil.

He would be the yaya toure of our club! (it wz an excitement said thing but comparing any player with yaya is impossible)

£35 for hazard, a player with no PL experiance. Fellaini has 5 years PL experiance and is the main figure in Hazards national team so does it make sense to sell him for less than what hazard went for? i think not, £40m minimum or keep him at everton

If Everton get into the CL group stages he could stay .He’s world class and worth 50mill
