John Stones transfer saga

[tim cahill]

Yet we made him put in a transfer request and secured a large fee.

We negotiated the best deal we could for a player we were willing to lose. What's wrong with that?

 

[Roidrage]

More decades than I care to remember.
Not for sale ...dead easy when you read it.
If you look back at the posts , after a full season playing every week, then go to the Euros
he may be sold for a ridiculous amount,the Board know this.
Unless its an obscene (50 mil) bid he will be here for at least another year.

Haha have the club said not for sale mate? As in a official statement?

New mural's up lads...

 

[Hibbertinho]

Cackling whilst watching these trumpets throw their toys out the pram on twitter at the prospect of stupid Everton opposing their god-given right to have 'Stones' on the back of their ickle Georgie/Milly's shirt for next season...

...but then remember that I am constantly reloading live search results on Twitter of the word 'Everton' every few seconds, in my undies.

"Everton official telling us this evening that they have "no intention" of selling the defender."

who do you guys think it is?

Its Benitez' Mrs. She's always worked undercover for Everton..it was her and Moyes that cooked up the plan to overfeed Rafael

 

[Jamo Martinez]

35m and hes a gooner

Can see Utd paying the asking price

Make your mind up mate. Arsenal or Utd?

Nabbed from Twitter.

Thought it was funny.

If Chelsea was a human being

There was a reason behind that though.

Oh ok ye...someone just made it up.

It's over now imo, the board would do too much damage to their credibility of they now sold him, they could have easily just rejected the bid and not said anything.

Unless Stones throws a transfer request in he won't be going anywhere imo

What credibility ? Don't make me laugh.

I'm more convinced than ever that our board are quite content with just being a premier league side. They're not bothered about honours and are only interested in making a few bob. When me and you and every other Evertonian get excited about young talent like Stones, Barkley, Lukaku and the others currently coming through, its a very different kind of excitement that tingle the bollocks of our board members. We get excited because we want to see us try and get to the next level on the field. They get excited because they see nothing but pound signs.

As long as Everton stay in this league, that's all they care about. Spending the bare minimum for us to achieve that is their ultimate priority. Other clubs in this league spend money to attempt to improve their standing in the league and improve upon their previous season. We only spend to replace what we let go, thus maintaining what we had, to just move sideways.

Stones WILL be sold within the next 12 months, no doubt about it. I'm guessing somewhere around 35m will see him gone and with that money we generate, half of it will be made available for his replacement and the rest will be sucked into Bill's black hole where nothing escapes.

Talksport saying he wants to go to Chelsea and has made it known. How do they know this, everything I have seen he says he is happy here.

Talksport reporters also carrying the Everton statement.

They do it to get calls, listens, views and clicks. Take no notice of anything Talksport ever say.

 

[davek]

mate, do you really believe that?
will you give credit to the board if they wont sell him?

I wouldn't give credit to them for merely keeping hold of a player. I'd be very surprised if it doesn't unfold in the manner described though.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Sure I read somewhere completely unreliable that 30m was their upper limit.

Perhaps this guy from the Daily Mail?

@CraigHope_DM: Told Chelsea won't go above £30m for John Stones after £25m bid rejected. EFC want more money plus a player, thought to be Victor Moses.

That's why we spent 28m on Lukaku?

if you are willing to criticise them for selling him then why arent you willing to give them credit for keeping him?
it feels too uncomfortable to give them some slack doesnt it? no offence mate.
