Where is this quote from ? He said this today or in the last couple of days ?

If this is a genuine quote from the tit then he's as good as gone in my opinion. I can't stand that fat headed whopper.

Interview was published today but was from before the Chelsea bids.

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright believes John Stones is England's best central defender and the club have a great squad.

Chelsea have already had one £20million bid rejected for the 21-year-old but reports suggest Jose Mourinho will not be deterred and is lining up an improved offer in excess of £30million.

Everton have been resolute in their stance over the youngster, who became first-choice in central defence alongside captain and international team-mate Phil Jagielka in the second half of last season, and will continue that role into the new campaign.

"We've worked really hard to stabilise this club and we've got a great squad, a young squad... (Romelu) Lukaku and John Stones, who has to be the best centre back in England," Kenwright told the Newcastle Chronicle.

While Stones remains happy at Everton, the club are likely to find themselves coming under more pressure from Chelsea if they offer a British record fee for a defender.

Goalkeeper Tim Howard, meanwhile, is readying himself for a return to international football after a sabbatical following the 2014 World Cup.

"I spoke to coach Klinsmann and we have had open lines of communication as recently as last week. We spoke but obviously they are very busy with the Gold Cup at the moment," he told evertontv.

"We will speak again after that tournament finishes and I will make myself available for selection. We will see where we go from there.

"I have missed it. It was a tough decision to make. It has been a good break, but all it has done is really fuelled my fire. I have missed the boys, the competition and playing in front of the US fans."

Or maybe Chelsea are just making stuff up. Known liars. They did the same when they were pursuing Rooney from Utd.

This is the way Chelsea and Man City behave mate. Its actually disgraceful. Not that they will but the people who run things need to clearly define the rules and punish teams accordingly for tapping up employees of another organization in their membership.

I could only screenshot it but it's on sky sports app
 
The interview Kenwright gave was just after we beat Stoke on pens, so before the Chelsea "bid".

He may have know they were about to bid, or he may not we won't know the answer to that one.

Edit: Actually had Chelsea already made the bid by then? Not sure..
