Birds of a feather flock together
£40m. Are we in a position to spend such fee on a 29 years old keeper?
Find you calling us "shitteh" both childish & disrespectful.
Matt Law seems to have a weird fascination with selling Stones for us.

Jose Mourinho faces a battle to avoid an early blow in the transfer market as Manchester United’s new manager with Manchester City and Barcelona emerging as favourites to sign John Stones. Mourinho is expected to be handed £200million to spend in the transfer market, but is likely to suffer disappointment over two of his top targets.
City and Barcelona have reaffirmed their interest in Stones over the past week, and both clubs plan to submit bids to Everton before the start of the European Championships – leaving Mourinho with a lot of ground to make up in the chase for the 21-year-old. The fact City and Barca have stolen a march on United will not put off Mourinho, but the Portuguese will need to call on all his powers of persuasion to sway the race for Stones in his favour.
City manager Pep Guardiola wants to pair Stones with Aymeric Laporte in a new-look partnership, while Barca see him as the best defensive prospect in European football and believe he is ideally suited to La Liga.
Mourinho’s former club Chelsea, who failed with four bids for Stones last summer, also remain in the queue for the England international but are currently behind City and Barca. Having identified Stones as his number one transfer target last summer, Mourinho saw Chelsea fail with bids of £20m, £26m, £30m and, finally, £37m before accepting the fact Everton would not sell.
Everton are unlikely to be able to hold on to Stones for a second summer and United would have no problem matching his £40m valuation. But Mourinho now faces far greater competition for the player and cannot offer Champions League football or guarantees of stability.

Player Valuation: £90m
Did i not read on here,if not here then twitter,facbook or on somewere, than moshiri could quite easy go out and spent money buying Joe hart to make it look to outsiders than he means business with everton,but not for the 40million you read about,but for 23 million,this was about a month or so ago,if hes worth the 23million, or more, or not i dont know

That's completely fine.
37m was the last rejected bid and Chelsea were the only interested team.
If three teams want him the bidding starts at 40m and we go from there.
No worries.

Is it still great at 40mil? That'd be the second highest fee for a keeper ever. Spurs signed Lloris for around 12-13mil if we're looking for some perspective, and Lloris is better than Hart IMO.

That was 2012. The transfer landscape has changed a bit since then
I don't care how much it has changed, £40mil is a TON for a 29 year old keeper.

Thats fair but 12 million isnt bringing a top level keeper to Everton
Probbaly the second best keeper in Germany would go for ~£17-20m (Leno). Do you really think spending £40m on Hart AND £200k per week is a sound investment?

Player Valuation: £10m
Go find a post where I advocated for Hart. I just said we aren't going to bring in a top keeper for 12 million anymore.

Ok, so double it and it's still not close to 40mil.
Would have no problem spending 23m on Joe Hart like. World class keeper that could be here for 5+ years. Wouldn't pay 40 mind.
ah, i did get you confused, my bad. But I do disagree with that as well, look at who the RS are looking at. The fees for keepers around Europe are far cheaper than anything in England. Makes no sense to me why we would even bother going for an ENGLISH keeper from Man City as everything about that is overpriced.
