John Stones transfer saga

[marty mcfly]

35m plus keep him for a year would be good.

Can use him and that cash to go for a mega push for CL football.

If we could achieve that, we could then use that extra money to go for a top class replacement.

Obviously rather keep him doe.

We're not a bloody Championship team. If he leaves he leaves. The stick he would get from the fans would be too much. He won't be loaned back.

We're in no position were we need to sell this summer.

However realistically 35m is a lot for a defender. He would have to reach almost his full potential to be worth 50m and that means be playing for a CL team, winning trophies and prove he's able to cope at the very highest level to be worth that. So he won't go up much more in value than 35 while he's with us.

If that was offered then we would have to weigh the risk of losing him for this season to the potential risk of him decreasing in value by next year because he won't go up. Look at Barkley, last year we were talking 50m somewhere in Sterling's bracket and now we would be lucky to get 25m.

Just like I'm glad Barkley went nowhere. I hope Stones stays too. I think both will kick on and will be top class, possibly world class and while it's unlikely if they all do that at once we might fluke our way into the champions league before they get poached.

£50m and we'll talk.

Cahill is better than jags.

thats why cahill is winning the league and jags isnt.

Jags would win it playing in that defence with that keeper behind him and Matic in front. Alcaraz could probably even slot in and look good.

Hahahahhaha

Think I will disagree with you there. Think Cahill is better in the air and that's it. He is a typical English CB who says 'ave that' then puffs his chest out as if he has done something remarkable. Jags reads the game better and I personally think passes better and looks to play before booting it in the stand. Only my opinion like.

Yeah the other boss players Chelsea have don't do anything.

 

[ijjysmith]

I think my main worry is that when Chelsea want a player they do generally get them.

Just hope it's Sky talking trumpet again.

 

[anjelikaferret]

No just no

Would Barnsley get a sell on fee ?

 

[blueblue]

Our neighbours have shown us recently how best to deal with bids of this nature. Set a price and stick to it or else tell the club the player is not for sale at any price.
I would suggest that we tell Chelsea the price is 50m and if they match that they can have the player, everything else is rejected out of hand.

20m is a test the water bid , will Everton be even vaguely tempted ? , will the player have an interest ? are there other suitors who need to be flushed out ?

 

[markmarkmark]

The sooner people accept that he won't be playing for Everton in 2/3 years time the easier this will be

 

[ijjysmith]

Would Barnsley get a sell on fee ?

I believe so yes.

 

[EFC Si]

Not sure they'll come back with a higher bid though in all seriousness. Obviously he's a good player but at the moment he's largely just potential. If it's gonna be 27M+ they could just go and get an already established defender.

20% mate
