Hope we insert similar staged buy back clauses like they've supposedly done.

Nice to see John Hartson saying that Everton don't have to sell John Stones,

Papers now doing stories on Chelsea's future line ups including Stones in them. Jesus wept, the media intensity in this has been staggering.
Clearly Martinez saying on more than one occasion we don't want to sell has fallen on deaf ears.
I honestly can't remember a media drive so intense and so intent on making sure a player moves.
I just hope he's still an Everton player come September 2nd.

Great story mate
whats gonna be funny on sep 2nd is all the rewritten history. expect: Chelsea stand firm against inflated prices of English players, Mourinho decides to put faith in Terry, Everton gamble fails as they get greedy on price, Mourinho decides to play waiting game with Stones, Corbyn will destroy the Labour Party declares Chelsea manager as transfer falls apart

I think Stones is great full stop but if his head is turned I'd like to see us put a marker down to Chelsea and demand Oscar plus £25m.
Seriously if we're in a position where this deal is being pushed for by Stones then I'd dearly hope we'd try and get someone like Oscar. He'd be that magic no.10 we need.

How would that work mate and what would they gain ? Without the transfer would we not tell them if they'd ask to be kept informed and we received an offer , what about the agent would we ask him not to speak to other clubs and take a better deal as we've established a relationship with Barca ?
It's in clubs interests to drive up the price by generating interest if a player is in demand and leaving and it's in a player's interest to go to the best overall financial package or at least consider it as part of his decision process. So what do clubs get out of this 'first option' type stuff ?

Thing is though, they still left.
Best way I tried to understand and explain to my mate at work was :
If I had a shop and an item in it was worth £50, but in a years time it would only be worth £30 then it makes sense to sell it now. As a business is all about making profit.
The difference with the Everton situation is that it doesn't matter if John Stones value declines due to the transfer market and other players becoming available, as his value to Everton is not what he's worth as a player to sell, but rather the fact that he is an ace young player and great defender. We get our value from him playing well.
Don't know if I'm talking sense or not but I'm definitely trying to convince myself..

I know it's not the point of the picture, but who the hell thought it was a good idea to allow the players to [Poor language removed] about with an Uberboard with have the squad crocked? I wouldn't let any of them near a tricycle the way things have gone.
