From Higuain to Rooney to Suarez and now being linked with a one season wonder Michu, this stinks of panic from our glorious leader. Prepare for supermarket sweep.

In a fucked up paradox the only thing worse than Wenger not spending any money is him actually spending it.

Everton reject £28m bid for Fellaini and Baines from Manchester United

Manchester United have had a joint £28m bid for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines rejected by Everton, with the Merseyside club intent that neither is for sale.

The deal consisted of £16m for Fellaini and £12m for Baines. Everton insist neither Baines or Fellaini will be sold before the end of the summer transfer window on 2 September.

David Moyes, the United manager, sanctioned the offer for his two former players at the end of last week but Everton instantly turned it down.

An Everton spokesperson told the Guardian: "We can confirm a bid was made and that it was rejected out of hand."

Fellaini cost around €19m (£16m at the present rate) with add-ons when Moyes bought the Belgian midfielder to Everton from Standard Liege in 2008. With United offering around the same sum it appears the club do not believe the 25-year-old's value has increased after five years of Premier League experience.

The rejection of the joint bid is the latest set-back in the market for Moyes and Ed Woodward, the executive vice-president. Their pursuit of Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas, the manager's prime target, also appears unlikely after the midfielder spoke publicly about his desire to stat at the club.

Ignoring Wanker's complete idiocy and apparent belief that Michu is worth £20M- £4M more than Henry- why the fuck haven't Everton insisted on one of those clauses whereby Manure can't buy any of their players for at least a year? Surely they could have held Manure to ransom over their manager.

I'm famous! :wink:

I've spent all summer praying he'd spend it and now I'm terrified he actually will. 30 million for Michu and Williams, not to mention what other dross he's got his eye on. Christ on a bike. The much fabled war chest that's taken years to assemble is about to be pissed away on shite in the next 2 weeks. :banghead:

Michu for 20m+ is deluded and irresponsible. How can a manager walk away from Higuain because they ask for an extra 7m when Napoli bump up the price but be prepared to spunk away 15m over the odds for a journeyman? All the frustrating haggling which has seen Alonso, Schwarzer and a host of others pass us by and then he goes wild with the cash for Michu??

Wenger can't spot quality and certainly can't recruit it.

Quite frankly, right now, I'd settle for Christ on a bike, up front, in the middle, at the back or on the bench, wherever.
Years of poverty for fucking Michu. What is going on?
