Pretty much, then we'll have kenwrights mug on sky, "but I had John in my office in tears begging me to go"Can't help but have a sense of deja vu with this, run up to the end of the window, quick sale, no time to spend the money, tried and tested, the Everton way...
Exactly this. I love how Kenwright apparently tells everyone Stones wants to leave...but don't tell anyone ok.Lets face it...nobody knows outside of the club...and the first we will know is either the moment he moves..or the end of the window.
What we want doesn't come into it, we just suffer during the process
..oh and taxi drivers are not told about multi-million pound transfers

I'll be sick if its only for the pathetic figure being quoted, sterling who's a half decent winger that's there's plenty better around the continent goes for close to 50, yet one of the finest young centre halves in the world who's going to be the best of his generation might go for a measly 32, I couldn't name you a cb I'd rather have
Its like Chinese whispers on here and in the media - everyone in the media sticking their tuppence worth in and an explosion on here - I always thought it was against the rules to tap players up this saga is well past that stage now!Exactly this.

You do know what club drivers are?
@NevilleSouthall: @DBurgundy5 no sale mate name me a better young centre back to replace him there isn't one so why sell
Rio Ferdinand has told Stones that he should join his former club Manchester United, but that will not have any bearing on the player or Chelsea’s bid.

There you go Nev ... one of the few people talking sense.
What on earth!!?!? Really? Rio Ferdinand's off-hand comments aren't going to result in Chelsea totally abandoning their plans to replace their captain? What is the point of that sentence? You might as well just fill in the space with lorem ipsum. What utter rag wrote such insane jibberish? Some dodgy website? Metro?
Dear god!

I think yourself and quite a few other people on this forum need to understand what 'tapping up' is because there has been no evidence of 'tapping up' in this whole saga. Tapping up is when one team approaches a player without the knowledge or permission of that player's current team.
Chelsea as far as we and everyone else is aware have not done this. Making comments in the media is not tapping up, whether it be Mourinho, Terry or Ferdinand.
If tapping up had been going on then you can rest assured Everton would have reported it.

Anyone who post on here regularly knows I post sporadically. I hear things from a mate from time to time as his uncle is a driver for the club, I said in here a while back about how some of the players weren't happy with his training. I spoke to the mate again tonight and he said his uncle had mentioned a few things to him
1) firstly I will get this one out the way as it is in the Stones thread. Basically he got a call off stones to pick him up before the Villarreal game, spoke to him on the way to the game. He said he would like to play for Chelsea but wouldn't force a move and had a meeting with the manager on Monday. As nothing has happened I assume he's probably staying or we would have let Chelsea know a deal could be done and another bid would have come in.
2) basically the problem I mentioned with the players and training hasn't gone away. Up to 8 first team players want rid of Martinez. Distin spoke out about what the players feel are naive tactics to hold onto the ball and practice very little defensive drills. He got froze out and let go.
The rest of it was basically Coleman and Delefeuo have struck up an unlikely friendship and McCarthy still being upset about his contract. People don't have to believe the information, I'm not saying I believe it, just something I got told I thought I'd pass on
