We like Messi and Ronaldo, but we know £40m won't cut it, either.
What we should do is ramp the bidding up, regardless, what have we got to lose?
Let's announce a formal offer of £40m and see where it gets us. It's £15m more than United have offered and calls a few bluffs.
They won't get into an auction with us and both Fab and Barca would have to make their intentions perfectly clear.
Shits and giggles all wrapped up in sky blue gift wrapping with a 'fuck you' note to boot.

He has a much publicised buyout clause that United can surely meet, has played under Moyes in the past, is the type of player they're missing in midfield, and is a thoroughly realistic target to boot. Surely he's one player that won't snub United if they show an interest.
Because he's not going to make the world sit up and go:
"Wow - this new boy really means business. Perhaps all the misgivings we had about Ferguson leaving, and the Club being taken over by a complete no-mark, were unfounded. Lets not sell all our shares after all"
He's the one who they will sign, and who they were always going to sign all along - but expect a plenty more £25 million bids for Messi, £20 million bids for Bale and £15 million bids for Ronaldo before the summer's out - whilst they quietly bring in Fellaini and Baines after all.
This isn't about signing players, its about keeping the dream alive for all the gullible, myopic, pig-thick Rags out there - and maintaining their share value, which is all important to the Glazers
Yeah, I'm well aware of all that so can see what they're playing at. My point though is that Fellaini ought to be a decent enough name to appeal to many of their fans anyway.
its accurate though and i wouldnt even begrudge fellaini for wanting to stay at everton, martinez is gonna do wonders therechedleeblue said:sorry had to post this..one of my rag mates latest tweet ...made me chuckle a lil bit haha ........
Robert Whittaker @Rob_Whit5 2m Thiago, Strootman and now Cesc doesn't want to come. Whats next Fellaini wants to challenge for the title at Everton? #MUFC

Their UK fans maybe, but not all the overseas fans who they are trying to woo at the moment, as all clubs do during their Summer Tours - and certainly not their shareholders who invested in the Club on the New York Stock Exchange - the vast majority of them won't have a fucking clue who Fellaini and Baines are. Bale, Ronaldo and Fabregas are the kind of names that will stop them having their doubts post-Ferguson, and instructing their Brokers to promptly sell all their United shares and invest in something that isn't going down the pan!
