Great to hear that.
Jags..class
Player Valuation: £70m
Did it, plus sterling behaviour was all over the papers.
Stones has only got 75 pace, if we Jerry Chilladeo from River Azul Platos we will win the league within 2 years !
Naisy might not be the most gifted footballer around but he seems to be an all round good egg.
bet spurs said that about the 87mil they received
Think he is Stones's best mate in the squad as well...
Spadge Vernacular
Player Valuation: £70m
Hasn't it risen from about 50mill to 80mill this Aug?
With a quarter of the fee added on to the price because the selling club know exactly how much we sold Stones for AND that we're panic buying.
Sounds like a plan!

Everton forward Steven Naismith has emphasised the club are very much looking ahead to a future with John Stones in the team.
The Toffees rejected pre-season bids of £20million and £26million from Chelsea for 21-year-old England defender Stones.
And while Everton would not comment on Tuesday on reports they had turned down a third bid of £30million from the London club, Press Association Sport understands the Merseyside outfit's stance on the matter has not changed - that Stones is not for sale.
That was something stressed last week by Everton boss Roberto Martinez. And regarding Stones, Naismith told Press Association Sport on Tuesday:
"We definitely want him to stay - he is a fantastic guy and footballer, and a mainstay in our team.
"You want your best players to be here to hopefully continue bringing success to Everton.

"He has progressed rapidly in the last two years and we want him to continue that under the leadership of the manager (Martinez) and also (Stones' Everton captain and fellow England centre-back) Phil Jagielka - I'm sure Stonesey would be the first to say he learns so much from him on a day-to-day basis."
Then asked if Everton could cope with the loss should further bids lead to Stones' departure, Naismith - speaking at Toxteth Jobcentreplus, where he was giving tickets for Toffees matches to unemployed fans - said:
"I think the club's stance on it has been pretty straightforward and the manager is looking forward with Stonesey in the team.
"The manager has mentioned wanting to bring in three more players in to strengthen, and I don't think anyone has ever thought about Stonesey moving on."

What the hell are you chatting? Go to bed, and stop talking out of your backside.
So you don't think our biggest issue is our lack of creativity.
60 pages on this thread and our Manager and club state he is not for sale, so it's 60 million and rising if you count a million a thread page!lol

Sure but unless Martinez is lying to us we already have the funds to buy some creativity.
I am assuming that "if we spent 30m+" from the transfer is based off a 40m sale?
Because 30m is about 15m after we pay Barnsley, loyalty bonus and new player wages (which come out of transfer funds as confirmed in an enraging post to to OS a few years back).
So we buy the Celtic lad or Evans for ~7m to replace Stones.
Cool ~8m extra left over for selling Stones. What fun! Who will we buy? Andre Gray? Nope sorry he's 9m. Oh well.
That's without even factoring in the "right that's me off then" attitude I would expect Lukaku and Barkley to have after we sell Stones OR the fact we might get 50-60m next summer. If you're so eager to sell our best players at least wait a year for the best price.

No, I think our biggest issue is teams having better players than us. Here's a hint - Chelski want Stones. I'd rather keep him and add to the squad.
Your problem is creativity with this bad baiting that everyone's just buzzing off.
