I have to say, the transfer window is getting old pretty quick.

Offers for both players appear to have been few and far between, so we ought to be pleased with how slow the news has been. Still though, can the window just close tomorrow? Please? No?

Certainly Fellaini wouldn't fight the move, but one would think if he was seriously pressuring the squad, it would have become clear by now.
