So much for ex Everton centre forwards in a Scotish pub ,telling anyone who wants to listen Stones was a done deal ....and some believing it :coffee:

I tell you what, if the board can hold off Chelsea and hang on to Stones, I'll have a little bit of new found respect for them.

Yep but can the club afford to turn doqwn a bid over 34 million, I'm not sure

Are we holding out for £30m or legit not entertaining the idea of selling?

"No intention of selling" means just that.

Or "we will only sell for a ridiculous amount"

Every player is for sale, and Chelsea either have to pay way over what they want to, or do one.

Look how niggardly Chelsea's "improved" offers are though. At this rate, it will take them summer 2017 to hit 40 million.

The longer that takes, the longer we keep Stonesy as a Blue, my point entirely.

I think we will get some kind of statement now.
Those latest developments are quite clear to me.

West Brom tweeted to their fans yesterday that no bid had been accepted for Berahinho (??) - think our media relations team could grant us the same courtesy ?

After his outburst to the Fat Spanish Waiter,I think he may turn his wrath to our "Thin Spanish Waiter"as he does not appear to be getting his waylol

EVERTON 'NOT SELLING STONES'

Some further developments concerning John Stones, with a top Everton official telling us this evening that they have "no intention" of selling the defender.

Sky sources understand the Toffees rejected a second bid from Chelsea this afternoon and the Premier League champions have apparently been told twice that the player is not for sale and is staying with Everton.
