Obviously, if Joleon Lescott hadn't grabbed the number 5 shirt then the headline would have been Marouane 5!
Anyway, the Blues have signed the 20-year-old Belgian international midfielder on a 5-year deal.
And the £15 million we've paid for the midfielder is also a record transfer deal for a Belgian player.
Amazingly, Phillipe Albert never went to Newcastle for anywhere near that amount!
Fellaini's agent, Cristophe Henrotay, who was obviously straight onto
www.bigfrigoffyachts.com as soon as the deal was done, broke news of the deal with a pretty, er, understated statement.He commented: "It is all okay. Marouane has signed for five-years and Standard gets €16 million."
So that's a done deal then!
Appearently, Marouane was mustard when Standard Leige webbed the shite everywhere over the two legs of their, ultimately fruitless, Champions League qualifying games.
But, as good as he may have been, that means that he'll have no chance of steping out for the Blues against his former club or in any of this season's subsequent European games as he's now cup tied!
Every silver lining has a cloud!
