That's okay, they just need to get the price that would be the same as David Luiz even though JFS is better (and younger)

We'll need to buy two central defenders with that 30m and the exponential likelihood that one or both are a bust. We're better off not selling, however many times you shake the tree. Even 50m. Seriously. Especially when we've got a manager that doesn't seem to know what a good defender looks like. He started Alcaraz over Stones in the must win game in Kiev. (mind you he started Atsu in that game too - one of many reasons this manager has got a lot of work to do as far as making me happy as a fan).
Lots of talk of us selling our best players and buying worse players. I predicted a gradual worsening of the team post Moyes. First season proved me wrong, second season proved me right.

Well Stones was on his way to Wigan before we stepped in so he can't be completely useless at buying defenders as you're suggesting .

The past few years we have had excellent relations between the two clubs so this move to go public with the first bid and put pressure on via the media is probably seen as a bit of a snide move by someone you considered, if not a friend, at least someone you could trust not to resort to games from the start.
Honours , and tradition do not carry that much weight v Billionaire owners - fact!

Ah right I didn't know that. I don't agree with the morality of it but this isn't exclusive to Chelsea or Mourinho

not true at all. I'm not their biggest fan but they have pretty much always got top dollar on transfers

Over 30 million? I think so too. That's silly money for a defender. I mean, I really love Stones of course and I recognise he has huge potential, but think about how much you can get out of that kind of money if you invest it wisely. The fact that he is English just makes him even more valuable... generally I'd say too that it makes sense for us to keep him at least for the next season, but if a huge offer is tabled, well, you have to seize the moment.
Agree, it is pretty common even if not pleasant.
There is also probably still a bit of rawness about the public manner that Moyes went about the Fellaini/Baines bid which was truly a case of a onetime friend stabbing you in the back.
Wasn't it Moyes who bought Stones?

Wigan had an offer accepted before we did and he was in a car on his way over there for talks before Moyes stepped in.
He was on Martinez's radar clearly.
