Yeah, it's a sign...not like Chelsea wear, oh.
And there I was clutching at straws.
#everythingisforsale is trending on twitter. has nothing to do with football that I am aware of, but still tempted to start #exceptJohnStones counter movement.
One of my favourite games from John was the match he played with the huge bandage covering that cut
Embedded media from this media site is no longer available
NOT......FOR ....SALE very easy to understand that.
Stop tryin to play Football Manager lad....the manager has stated more than once he is NOT FOR SALE.
So lets leave it at that, too many thinking "we can get player x& y " I'd sooner keep the best young centre half in Europe than sell him and get couple of players
"That can do a job" seeing anything less playing for us whilst my stomach churns seeing Stones play for a bunch of Chavs I couldnt handle.
Whatever happened to Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. Some need reminding what that actually means.

I think you need to read the whole thread,show me where I advocate selling him,I was asking whats considered the right price and stating that £40m certainly isnt,and I certainly dont need reminfing what NSNO stands for

Right price is very hard to define due to his potential.
He's great now, worth maybe 30m.
If he fufills his potential at Chelsea and helps them win five league titles and two champions leagues as captain. What's that worth?
If he stays with us and guides us back to the top tier, say we win the league with him as captain just once over the next ten years and regularly qualify for the champions league. What's that worth?
What if England win a trophy with him starring? What's that worth to the club he's at?
I'd say he's worth more to us than he is to them. They can sign a centre half of similar quality or near enough and have a chance of achieving their goals. I very much doubt we can. Even with 70-80m to spend, Liverpool and Tottenham have shown it probably won't work.
Got to keep him for as long as possible. Offer him a new contract next year that gives him 50% of the value of the transfer fee if he stays for three years or more. Takes money out the equation, he'll earn more staying with us than leaving and we get a chance at being great.

He was wrong to respond to you with that, I'm guessing he meant to respond to the poster who said "we ARE a selling club." everything he said was a spot on response to the many people in this thread who have already accepted that he will be sold, despite every indication from the team saying otherwise.

The fire rises
There is never a right price when it comes to selling our best players.
The fact that chairmen and boards across the country think that there is is what is ruining the game. There's plenty of money out there from Sky for teams like us to not have to sell. If more teams took a stance like ours it could be good for the game.
