I will be proud Tuesday night when we still have stones. We don't know what Chelsea will do nex.t. José been quiet
The way they carry on, they think we can get in 3 top class players, but we'd be able to get maybe 3 £10m players, which is about average for a good to very good player, not a worldie.
Glad we're taking the stance that we are.

Let's not forget Rooney agent was more creative in turning Rooney against moyes. Making Rooney believe it was Moyes who leaked the prostitute's images to the stories. Wonder if stones agent paid some lads too attack stones house.
Agree with your entire post EXCEPT for the bit in bold.Chelsea are mad offering forty million for him.
We are crazy for turning it down.
If Chelsea had offered that money six weeks ago when this all started Roberto would have driven John down to the Bridge himself with the blessing of most of us.
But they didn't.
They made a derisory offer then proceeded to orchestrate a media campaign aimed at unsettling Stones and belittling our club, aided and abetted it seems, by John's agent.
So it became about much more than money.
It became about the standing of our club.
It became about letting the avaricious parasites who represent the rest of our young stars know that they will not be allowed to derail our manager's five year plan.
It became a point of principle and about wether EFC would meekly consent to bury our own ambitions and become a nursery club for two no mark, yo yo clubs which won the lottery.
Divil the bit.
Sod off and stick your filthy lucre where the sun don't shine, Jose.
Then there is the small matter of a transfer window closing in a few days and us being bereft of experienced centre backs.
In the end the temptation was easy to resist for Evertonians.....
The moment Sterling went for £49m, the range for Stones' value was raised. Beforehand we were looking at Luke Shaw's £32m fee as a benchmark, but another year of record-breaking tv money has inflated the market again.
I understand Chelsea bidding for him: Terry is almost finished, and Cahill is the sort of partner that would work well alongside Stones. Add to this the fact that Chelsea desperately need a couple of home-grown players, and Stones is their obvious target. Their mistake was trying to lowball us with an opening bid that was so low as to be insulting.
I would not be averse to selling him NEXT year, on the opening day of the summer window, but the fee would have to involve a cancellation of any remaining payments for Lukaku's transfer, Begovic coming to us as a permanent transfer and Eva Carniero moving to us permanently as a hamstring specialist. Plus £35m.

seriously we don't need to give the players any more excuses to get injured! maybe if we got a Doc that looked like Ian Dowie's @rse they would avoid injury more
It's probably to our advantage that Stones' agent has given us no reason to think he's a loon.

Woods said the same thing a week ago. Bill just put it to bed once and for all.
I even had my Kopite mate txt me last night saying he hoped we stood firm as it would be for the good of football.
They've been had off a couple of times now and I think a lot of their fanbase wouldn't have minded if they had left Sterling to rot in the reserves. After all, Brenda was going on all through the start of the summer that even if he didn't sign a new deal they weren't going to sell.
It's not about the money, it's about principle so I hope the likes of us and West Brom stand firm and make the players realise they have a duty to continue to perform to the best of their ability.
Roll on Tuesday

Ignore the misleading tweet/headline, this is actually a very good piece on the whole affair.
