John Stones transfer saga

[roydo]

Only 4 hours and 20 minutes, as CL squads have to be finalised tonught at 2300gmt

Didnt realise that. Could that have a bearing on buying/loaning someone from abroad? Like, a player is named in RM CL squad, and we loan/buy (haha) him tomorrow, and they cant replace him in said CL squad?

What is the point of keeping Stones if we can't / won't bring in a couple of quality players to add to the team ?

So why are Sky and the BBC insisting it ends tomorrow at 18.00?

the Market closes tommorrow at 6pm but UEFA want the CL clubs to register the squads tonight, we are the only nation that has a window that closes tommorrow due to bank holiday today.

Probably more point keeping him if we don't sign anyone, I should have thought.

I suppose so, so if their is a link with a RM player and he aint in squad their could be something in it.

Because this is real life and not a video game.

So if there was a last minute change of heart and Stones signed tomorrow, Chelsea coulldn't play him in the CL then?

Could he play in the Europa when they drop down into that?

Really excited to see the endgame of this elaborate scheme by Kenwright and his cronies.

Yes. He couldn't play until knockout stages when Chelsea can add remove 3 or 2 players

The dramatization of the story will probably make good money when it runs as a West End show.

" They tried to take John Stones from Everton.......But Bobby said No No No.... " apologies to Amy W

Don't suppose she is that bothered.

Bill Kenwright was Machiavelli in a previous life.
