[Yorkie]

What fresh hell is this?

Boredom and Photoshop. Probs should save it till end of the window.

No it's fine mate, I just don't get it!!

If hes still here in 2 weeks I will be shocked.

In an age in which every club in the league has 30m extra we are still sell to buy.

Shocking state of affairs.

We are another day closer to the close of the deadline and there still is not the slightest hint from John Stones(publicly) that he wants to move away from Everton or wants to move to Chelsea.

If you think back to when Joleon Lescott did eventually force his move to City it was a saga that dragged on for weeks. I remember he even sowed the seeds at the start of the summer just before he went on holidays.

If John Stones really does want to leave(and there is no sensible suggestion that he does) against the wishes of the club I would have expected the campaign to force a move through would have already started.

There should be no contract negotiations whilst the window is open as it just strengthens the players position. I am sure the club are aware of this.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

I hope we sell him for 40k instead of 40m by mistake.

 

[bluelife]

When you say a player is not for sale it has to be enforced if your club is to have any ambition whatsoever....letting him go for what really is a measly £40m would be an utter travesty

 

[Tramps_mate]

it could all stop if John himself says he doesn't want to go though couldn't it ??.

Exactly. His silence is deafening to me...

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Just because he's not for sale today doesn't mean he won't be for sale at a late date.

i don't undersatand the benefit in him getting involved. his silence for me is more about a player rising above this and concentrating on playing. whatever he says we would pick through it anyway for signs of what he really meant.

In regards to the silence from John Stones, the general rule of thumb with things like this is that players do not get involved at all, in what has turned out to be a soap opera like drama.

Why should he get involved ? Stones probably does want to go , isn't that reasonable ? The player isn't a boyhood blue not that that stopped a few agitating to leave in the past and hasn't even been here that long. Yet he's behaved really well and maintained a dignified silence .

Why should the lad say he's not interested in Chelsea , he'd be mad not to be interested wouldn't he ? Regardless of that what if we then accept a bid he may have burnt his bridges , he's just keeping his had down and playing and surely deserves credit for that .

I don't think we should sell Stones.

We should build rather than empty, celebrate our talent rather than treat it as chaff and thus we will go on to greater things.

Jags never uttered a word , and Bainesy when UNT came calling!

I think the 'idea' behind the 'if Stones ask for a transfer' was to attempt to make him saying something, so they could twist it.
