John Stones transfer saga

[BoysInBlue]

No. But you believe what you want to believe.

Everton can end all this very easily. Even if it means repeating the 'he's not for sale' line over and over. And frankly I don't know why they're not.

What are you talking about?

The poster was talking about how Swansea had said someone was staying and that we should say the same about Stones. My point was what Swansea said about their player and what we said about Stones is totally comparable and no different.

It's en vogue to knock the club though and pretend the player is already sold so whatever.

My take on it is that Martinez was asked through the club by Mourinho to sell Stones to Chelsea.

Martinez said no, the club backed it up with a letter.

The wording of the letter gave Mourinho encouragement to carry on and bid again and say so to the press, ie his rant when he said 'they should just say no, but they didnt'.

Whoever wrote that letter must be told in no uncertain terms that they didnt do a very good job with the letter to say the least.

The fallout has made our manager look like a Richard Head.

Why are you taking Mourinho's word about the content of the letter? Since when is he the paragon of credibility?

And for those of you saying that Kenwright's words are the problem / they mean Stones will be sold, I'm guessing this isn't the first time you've criticized Kenwright, is it?

Without seeing the contents of the letter you can't really say with certainty any of that is true.

No wonder BK never speaks. People jump down his neck at every word.

What Swansea said about Gomis and what we've said about Stones are not comparable as I've explained.

Interview done when the bid was not public. He has already said no to Chelsea.

Yes but he knew about the bid. I think its fair to say he has known a bid was coming from Chelsea since atleast the end of last season.
Agreed , he said no ...... but no to 20 million , not the sale.

He could lift the mood and rally the troops by making a statement of intent , "we will not sell our best players and will be signing quality players to push on to and compete with these clubs who think they have a monopoly on success just becouse they have a bigger bank balance. This club is going places , why would a player want to leave and why would we seĺl to teams we want to overtake "

Why?

Because nobody from Everton has countered him.

 

[muddy mudguard]

Well it's all gone quiet now. The longer they drag this on, the less likely they are to sign him.

I say keep him until at least next summer then (season form permitting) they can come back for him with an offer we can't refuse. Either that or we fluke 4th or 5th and qualify for ECL or EL and he stays = everyone happy!

The amount of EFC fans believing Mourinho's BS and buying into Chelsea's propaganda is astounding.

I know some people hate the board and apparently don't have a high opinion of the club but why can't we want to keep a player?

Its been 2 weeks since Chelsea put their bid in (they put it in a week before the news leaked about it).

For all their talking and hot air, why haven't they submitted another bid yet?

If they're trying to force Stones to hand in a transfer request, and he 'wants to go' (according to Chelsea propaganda), why hasn't he submitted it?

It's clearly nowhere close to a done deal by any means and Chelsea would not be talking so much if it was.

Exactly.

Why get into a pissing contest with him? Let him mouth off all he likes. He still hasn't put another bid in.

 

[No8Bally]

The name John Stones will have the same effect on Blue Bill as a few Viagras

What letter"

People moan about all the 'Chelsea propaganda' but we could easily shut it all down.

And we'd come out looking great.

Silly that we haven't.

 

[jinkyali]

Exactly.

What if they offered 90m? Every player has a price.
I cant recall one rejection with a hes not for sale at any price from any club in the world.
