John Stones transfer saga

Get stuffed, you horrible gets.

Pretty impressive words from Stones the other day about fighting for his place.

*remembers that Chelsea also play in Blue*

Where you going lid?

Maldives, can't wait.

Be stupid to sell now, euros coming up, new tv deal which will add an even bigger premium onto players. Bad shithouse move by the board if they allow this.

ahead of the Euro's if your are John Stones, do you want to be sitting on Chelsea's bench or playing against Chelsea?
Would only be a goer if
- Stones was a [Poor language removed]
- We got a silly offer a la Sterling
- We had lots of CB's

I have every confidence that Everton will not sell this summer. Chelsea will no doubt come back with an improved bid. My main concern is that all this speculation will unsettle one of our best players. Its happened before and it affects a players form.

Thats my main worry with all of this.

Just visiting from the other side of the Pennines and thought I would provide an alternative view of this. We poor souls that support Barnsley were both gutted and outraged when Stones was given away to Everton for what we all knew was a stupidly low fee (£2.2m apparently, not the oft-quoted £3m). Our owner has admitted publicly that on the day Everton bid for him, he was relatively unaware of John and asked the Chief Executive if he was 'any good'. He has also admitted that it was probably the biggest mistake the club had ever made (which is saying quite a lot). Those of us who merely support the club through the turnstiles knew that we had a once in a lifetime gem on our hands, and this admission didn't exactly improve our collective state of mind. David Moyes bragging about the deal afterwards didn't help either. The one and only saving grace is that we are rumoured to have a 15%-20% sell-on clause. I have been told by someone who ought to know that Everton have tried three times to buy out the clause; for once perhaps we may end up having done the right thing. So, spare a thought for those of us who are merely bystanders in a Sky-created money-obsessed Premier League world; 15% of £25-40m or so would give us half a chance of competing in the genuinely 'Fair-Play' circumstances that we lower league clubs are forced to operate in, and be a reasonable return for an exceptional player our club nurtured from the age of ten.

Would prefer it wasn't Chelsea though!

Half of Englands team cant get a game for the big clubs but still get picked for England.

 

[By god I'm blue]

Hypothetically speaking.......

If say, we sold Stones for 35M and McCarthy for 30M and cleared the debt completely and the club was then bought, would people be happy?

You see, i could stomach this, but only if it finally meant bye bye to Billy Bullshit and his cronies for good.
