We’ve been linked with a move for Marouane Fellaini, and although the Belgian midfielder is happy at Everton, he has stated in the past that he will consider leaving the Merseyside club for one participating in the Champions League next season.
Arsene Wenger is REPORTEDLY looking to add quality to his squad this summer and is eyeing up a move for the 25-year-old Everton man.
However, recent reports suggest the Frenchman is unwilling to meet the £23 million release clause in Fellaini’s contract. Is he for real?
Ivan Gazidis has stressed time and time again that Wenger will have sufficient funds available to spend, but is looks like Le Boss is reluctant to spend over-the-odds for any potential recruits this summer. Nothing new there then.
But following the departure of David Moyes, Fellaini’s future looks unclear, despite Roberto Martinez wanting to keep the midfielder. And after five years at Goodison Park, making 171 appearances and finding the net 32 times, the Belgium international may well seek a new challenge if a club like Arsenal come calling.
So why is Wenger refusing (reportedly of course) to splash out £23 million on a proven, Premier League star? It’s simply beyond me.
What does he expect to get Fellaini for? £10 million? It’s just not going to happen.
The fact is if you want to sign the big-names you have to spend big money. Unfortunately that’s the way football is nowadays. And it’s not like we can’t afford to sign him. We are in a very secure financial state from what I hear.
£23 million, I think, is a fair valuation for Fellaini. He has proven over the years that he is a quality player and I can’t for the life of me think why Wenger wouldn’t want lined up alongside the likes of Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere. The Belgian is tenacious, great in the air, bags goals and isn’t afraid to put his foot in. He would be a brilliant signing for us in every sense.
If Wenger is expecting to buy quality players for small amounts of money and compete for silverware next season then he’s got another thing coming.
Just do the right thing for once and forget about the consequences – cough up the £23 million and sign the midfielder who can ultimately make the difference for us next season. It’s as simple as that!

Wenger is kiddin himself, as are you foolish gunners, Fellaini would be a Tit to leave a club on the up for a team on there way down, Arsenal squad is piss poor , the worst Ive seen in 25 years , I will run naked down the kings road if Arsenal finish in the top 5 next season
