Roberto Martinez confirms that Marouane Fellaini's buyout clause expired on July 31.

Was watching SSN and Distin was quoted as saying that pre-season was alot different to when Moyes was there - more ball work and less running. Pretty much the opposite of what is being said in the UTD camp.

Let us hope that Gollum is to the Mancs what Hodgson was to us...

Transfer news exclusive: Leighton Baines has asked Everton to agree deal with Manchester United

England left-back eager to move to Old Trafford for Champions League football

The Everton defender Leighton Baines has asked his manager Roberto Martinez and the club's chairman Bill Kenwright to agree a deal to sell him to Manchester United, The Independent understands.

The left-back has been the subject of three bids from United over the summer, for £9m, £12m and as part of a joint bid worth up to £30m, including Marouane Fellaini, all of which have been rejected by Everton. It is anticipated that United will bid for a fourth time to sign Baines before the transfer window closes on Monday at 11pm.

Baines met with Martinez on the first day of pre-season to tell the new Everton manager that he wanted the club to negotiate a deal with United.

Since then Baines, 28, has not missed a training session when fit and has played in both Premier League games so far this season. He is in the squad for tonight's Capital One Cup second round tie against League One side Stevenage. Since that original meeting with Martinez, which followed United's first bid for the player, Baines has reiterated his desire that Everton try to agree a deal.

The England international has met with Martinez, on a number of occasions, and Kenwright. His position has not changed: he would like the opportunity to play for United, not least to play in the Champions League.

Baines' former manager David Moyes has prioritised the signing of the left-back since taking over at Old Trafford. His current left-back Patrice Evra has one year remaining on his deal. Baines has been at Everton since 2007 and has two years left on his existing deal.

juliette_grace: Martinez also called the transfer window a footballing circus and farcical.

Sounds like Robby Martinez is getting flustered already!

I appear to be in a minority but I don't rate Baines particularly highly. He bombs forward into space well and his crossing is good but in general play he is quite sloppy with his passing and he's not the best at defending his box. He's like Enrique with added crossing ability. Good player but I'm not sure he's top draw.
