Speculative enquiry with a pisstake low ball offer to get him on the cheap. I wouldn't put that on the same level as the campaign to sign Lescott.

Seems they tried more of the same as with stones. Seems like the standard strategy for a skint club, that - lowballing and then increasing the bids with tiny margins looking to make the club look dumb, e.g. bringing their poorness onto themselves or something.

I think this is referring to us offering Barnsley cash this past week to buy out the sell on fee. Not the actual transfer a few years ago.

As far as I am aware Everton made an offer to buy out the sell on fee clause. As far as I am aware Everton have accepted the No response from Barnsley. We haven't suggested that it's right for football (and world peace) that Barnsley say Yes.

Fwiw this is what someone posted on the Shed end - given he confuses a simple issue like Browning/Galloway it is unlikely the rest of it is any more accurate.

I did say that I would stay off this a couple of days ago, but I met an old schoolmate after the Spuds game last night, he now lives in South Africa but comes back a few times a season. He has made a fortune in SA and his company has sponsored Everton for a long time, he's obviously well connected within the club and after a few jars told me what he knows about the Stones situation.

We did agree a deal before the City game, but Browning's injury changed things, Martinez had Mori lined up and with Browning being a CB (he was covering at LB for Baines) he thought we had enough cover and was promised the Stones money for a few signings. He told the board that if the Stones deal went through he would be off, the board caved in, which angered Chelsea and Stones agent threw a fit, pushed him to put in a TR to force it through, which then meant that Kenwright had to go public and say he's not for sale. Bottom line is that Stones is ok with staying for now, but has assurances that he can go, maybe as soon as January. The story about the Barnsley sell on is rubbish and he moved out of home to get away from the media, there may be one or two neanderthals hanging around, but it's the press he's trying to get away from.

Strange atmosphere at WHL yesterday, Spurs fans booing Stones and a few kids singing a Beatles song, all a bit embarrassing but nothing malicious at all. It was odd that Stones came over and clapped us at the end, we weren't quite sure what to make of it. I still think there may be a twist in the tale, but it will probably depend on Martinez being placated somehow. For all those having a pop at RM he's only doing his job and is being pinned down on Stones every time he's anywhere near a microphone (which is too often for my liking).

Appleton was the old company, he floated and sold it then started another business called Warwick, they advertise around the ground and sponsored our cup campaign last season. Whenever he's over he sits in the directors box and mixes with the great and good, doesn't get on with Kenwright but that's another story. He was only passing on the gossip he has heard, probably rather more informed than the rest of us though. The only point he was unclear on (could've been the wine), is whether Stones was always going to put in a TR as part of the deal (to make our board look good), or if it was in response to us backing out, but Stones' agent is not a happy camper whatever. it helps that Stones is not doing (and won't apparently) a Berahino/Sterling/De Gea

Doesn't Ian Kilbride post on one of the fans forums? Possibly this one?

Well lets put it this way, City came for Lescott not Jagielka.

No club pursuing top honours would move for Jagielka.

Lescott could play two positions at a premier league level though

Also:
- Arsenal came in for Jagielka, he admitted Everton told him he wasn't going or something to that effect so he got on with it
- Moyes showed the utd players how to be a good defender with videos of Jagielka, not Lescott :-D
