Good shout. one of the annoying radio sports journalists here quoted Everton as foolishly backing themselves into a corner with their no sell stance on this, in that if they sell then we (the fans) will be spewing.
He is right as there will be fume as the not for sale is repeated time and time again.
The one flaw in this turds point is he fully expects that Chelsea will succeed and gives no thought to the fact that maybe just maybe Everton are making a stance and saying no to the mighty Chelsea! heaven forbid
I do not think Stones will go.
It is right this happens all the time with players moving on , it does but when will it end and someone has to say no to Chelsea and City and their buying everyone else's good players , but as you said "whats the point" if he does go.
Exactly my thoughts , what is the feckin point in shouting for McCarthy,Coleman, Browning, Garbutt,Besic, Galloway and Barkley to have great seasons coz then they will be off to someone else if they do.

And another thing.
The media make me sick in all this - as I'm sure they do to you all.
Why can't teams outside the 'big' clubs have good players? As soon as someone shows a bit of promise they have them sold off to one of 4/5 clubs. Not just Everton but all clubs outside the circle.
Pissing me right off now.

I have to say I am feeling much more optimistic after that last piece of crap posted by probably-Chelsea-paid Matt Law in Telegraph. He clearly has an agenda to post anything that moves Stones closer to Chelsea. No other paper posted anything about 'a price that Everton is going to accept' or that 'Stones wants to go' I believe, not couting in even bigger crapmakers like Metro or Mirror. Nothing suggests we are going to say anything else than 'not for sale' to that 40m bid that is likely coming as mentioned today by Guardian by real writer of actual football news Andy Hunter. Will be so so beautiful to keep Stones after all this media war in recent weeks and that is still likely coming to us before the deadline approaches. Some of these people won't accept it at all, already can see that. 
Cool...found it.
Naismith: We have no intention of letting go of Stones
By NSNO.co.uk on August 18, 2015
Everton forward Steven Naismith says that the club have no intention of letting John Stones leave Goodison Park this summer despite growing bids from Chelsea.
The former Rangers man said that Stones has become a mainstay of the Everton side, and has continued to go about his business in a professional manner, when it would be easy to become distracted by media talk.
The Scot said, ”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 and also Phil Jagielka – I’m sure Stonesey would be the first to say he learns so much from him on a day-to-day basis.
“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.
“John has gone about his business day-to-day in training in such a professional manner. He has then taken that into the games, because he has been one of the stronger performers in the team since the start of the season.”
Problem is he's one of 3 players who could be categorized as 'our most important player' and would want to be paid as such.
From what i keep reading, Stones doesnt care that much about money right now. Im sure he would appreciate something like a nice bumper after the window but its not his sole objective right now. He is looking out for his career. Honestly, not many people would do something like he is doing.
To the StonesMobile !
Yes the media are starting to sicken me.
A lot of them seem to think Chelsea have a devine right to go out and buy Stones at whatever price they think is right and we are just peasants who should be happy they are buying from us.
Give it a few more days and the same shids will be saying this one is dragging on and on and will blame us!!!
Agree mate in that he doesn't seem the type and comments suggest that's true. My suggestion is more around letting him he will be rewarded with (more) riches too if he sticks around and not on his current salary for the next 4 years.
I like the title change. It also reads like a warning statement to the club
Got it wrong I am saying he is leaving the transfer dealings with our Manager - yet posters are already making assumptions about him that he will sell Stones!

The media (the fourth estate) used to be wider society's watchdog guarding it (by disseminating important and relevant information), from the self-interest excesses of the privileged/landed/monied ...now they are bought-and-paid for shills for those interests...nothing more and nothing less.
Crony capitalism/oligarchy corrupts everything...ironically, even true capitalism itself has been fatally compromised.
