John Stones transfer saga

Status
Not open for further replies.
In recent seasons, Everton have fought off overtures for the likes of Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka, Ross Barkley and Seamus Coleman.

Marouane Fellaini moved to Manchester United in 2013 due to an exit clause in his contract, but even then Everton secured a £4m premium to take his fee to £27m and tend to now only sell on their terms.

They see Stones as crucial to their future and handed him a new five-year contract at the start of last season, while the former Barnsley starlet has said he is happy at Goodison Park

Shouldn't we be receiving an instalment from Manchester United for Fellaini?

People seem to forget that we sold Fellaini Jelavic and Anichebe and Martinez saved the majority of that cash because he wanted to wait for Lukaku.

Doesn't a 27.5 million sale all but cancel out a 28 million purchase?

Anichebe went for 6 million and Jelavic 7.5, so doesn't that cancel out a 13 million buy of McCarthy?

We've brought Besic and had to pay for loans and bits and pieces etc, but I'm struggling to see a major outlay in transfers these last few seasons.

In fact it's buttons compared to the TV revenue the club has recieved.

Exactly, which would suggest we've plenty in the kitty. Unless there's something wrong somewhere...

Chelsea supposed to be coming back with an improved £26m bid today. I hope the phone call goes something like this:

JM: "Hello Roberto. I am returning with a bid of £26m for John Stones. I think you'll find this is a much improved bid and I believe you sho-

RM: "Double it".

Think it will be more like:

JM: "Hello Bill. I am returning with a bid of £26m for John Stones. I think you'll find this is a much improved bid and I believe you sho-

BK: (sobbing heard in the background) "I'm just going to ring me mum"
 

fellaini, lescott, rooney and arteta have been our big sales in recent years

fellaini -release clause

arteta - wanted to go,good money for a 30 year old

lescott - wanted to go and we got a ridiculous fee

rooney - we needed the money apparently, so bad deal

so rooney was the only one were we 'had' to sell cos of our financial issues


as long as stones is happy to stay and we dont get a crazy bid(not sure what this is exactly but 40 mill is the price in my head) he will stay

How's he called our bluff?

We'd already told Chelsea he wasn't for sale before they went public, he certainly doesn't look "good value" for anything. He looks like a [Poor language removed] as usual.

Which is why they are coming in with another bid, the club should do what they did with Baines and put this to bed now, but I very much doubt we will do...

We've told them we aren't interested in selling him.


They've dragged this out into the open air.
Nothing has changed, we still aren't interested in selling him.

Are they coming in with another bid? Has there actually been an announcement that they'll put another bid in or something?

It seems clear to me from what Martinez has said that we dont want to sell him and Chelsea's approach has been very underhand. What more should we do?
