Absolutely not - I don't think we'll sell him to Chelsea this summer, but if we wished to do so tactics currently are spot on. The power of silence is hugely under-valued in negotiation.

I think if we're definitely not selling we should come out and say so, and blast the media speculation. I'm not normally one to get wound up by th so called 'bullying' tactics, but this has already gone too far and what Chelsea are doing verges on tapping up. It's a disgrace.

By telling them 'what we want' I didn't necessarily mean a price.
We could well just want them to go away. So tell them.

We already have done so though.
I think you meant to say adding another title to his increasing honours list.

No, if we don't want to sell, and Stones is happy to stay the situation is perfect as it is. Just let it carry on.
I mean an official statement. I don't think we're doing anything wrong per se, but think that, if indeed we have no true intention of selling him - at whatever price - this summer, then it would go some way to stopping the media frenzy.

For you maybe. Id take great pleasure in telling Chelsea where to go. In public.
If the interview took place before any bid theres no need to say "he's not for sale"
Mentions Lukaku also & there was no need to say "he's not for sale either"
Think people are looking for something that aint there just to gob off at Kenwright.

If we were going to do that we should have done so a couple of days ago. However now there's no need to, the "special one" is getting into a lather and Chelsea are looking desperate - let it continue.

Because the tabloid media being ruled by the Chelsea press office are ignoring that and trying to change the narrative. It's one of the most shameless things I've ever seen. Up there with the Rooney saga.

Just by the by, my gut feeling is Stones is going nowhere, but and sadly it's a big but (hahaha!), if a certain amount is bid, then history suggests we will accept it. Well not 'we' them lot in suits.
They are clearly trying to unsettle the boy in the hope he himself can change the trajectory of the transfer by asking to leave.
