Player: Marouane Fellaini
Team you are managing: Man Utd
Team who are buying: Real Madrid
Offer: £40m
Year: 2013/14
I largely use Fellaini in rotation with Carrick and Fletcher. I am not sure to accept or not despite the huge offer. Fellaini is still young (25) and has a reputation of worldwide. Please advise me on this. Thank you.
I personally would accept. If I get a ridiculously high offer in excess of £30+ million for a player (bar top-five-in-the-world & world-class), I generally accept. In your case I would. You can get a very similar player to Fellaini for £10+ million less than the £40 million you would receive for Fellaini. The best replacements in my opinion would be M'Vila, Nainggolan or Sandro who are all, in my opinion, better than Fellaini. Other shouts include Capoue, Rodwell and Romulo. Honestly, I think it also makes the game more interesting when you become a little bit of a selling club despite all your Manchester stature as you're given an excuse to find world-class replacements. Just my two cents.
