John Stones transfer saga

[Tramps_mate]

If he goes for £30m I'll be fuming!

I'm prepared to fume..

 

[Hangleton]

sell on clause and help our club survive and progress (I think its 75% we have in the contract ).

Anyway good luck with the season and good luck with the battle for Stones. Im sure he won't be distracted and will give 100% whatever is happening.[/QUOTE]


That can't be right surely.
There'd be no sense in selling him - even for 80m.

Well if utd our joining the chase and they spent 30m on luke shaw then should b looking atleast another 10m on top of that, its all in or hands cos he wont b putting in no transfer request and we dont need to sell, so u get a clutch of clubs coming in it will b like a bloody auction! tho if it does end up happening i’d def ask to keep him on loan for season to give us time to properly look around as we are already short there!

We should be doubling his wages, he is one of the first names on the team sheet and his pay should reflect that if he's currently on 30k give him 60k 1 year extension, so he's back on a five year deal that'll only cost us an extra 1.56 million quid a year.

 

[Jags..class]

We need to stand tall and keep him and build our spine with him in it, what 40 million these days. The board needs to give Martinez 30 million to spend and now outgoings

Afraid you are deluded if you think we as a club are on the rise.

I'm no Kenwright / Elstone fan. Having said that I believe all businesses, which EFC is now, should be self sufficient. They should be able to stand on their own two feet without an "Abramovich".

Each year we edge closer to that point - and I say that with the end goal being, that we are able to keep a hold of our best players - in this case Stones and provide the manager with enough funding, each and every transfer window, to compete.

Look at the state of our club.

Solid manager.
Squad quality is arguably the best we've had in 20yrs.
Training facilities / youth setup is top draw.
Little to no debt in comparison to other clubs.

It's the stadium that's the massive missing piece.

Earlier this year Jianlin became the first Asian billionaire to invest in a european football club when he bought in to Atl Madrid. Many believe there's going to be plenty more money coming in from the Far East.

We're not exactly on the decline are we? Deluded? You're still suffering from David Moyes syndrome.

The rs made a mistake in not doubling sterling contract when they has the chance. We should raise it to 45 k for now

I think it was tongue in cheek...but I did hear of a 20% clause somewhere...hopefully won't matter anyway due to him not being for sale

Bill Kenwright said: "David Moyes and I agreed Wayne has to be a £50m player now.
"I would turn down any bid for him and say: 'Thank you very much. What else do you want to talk about?'"

He then sold Rooney for £20m+£7m in add-ons and cried to his mum over it. This is from Fergie's book - ‘It was Aug 2004 and we had just played Everton. Bill Kenwright was crying. As we studied the Everton chairman in his sorrow, he announced that he would like to make a call. Through his tears, Bill said: “I’ll need to phone my mother.”
“They’re stealing our boy, they’re stealing our boy,” he said down the line.

That was 11 yrs ago.

 

[Icer]

Is this a mis-type or am I understanding it wrong?

Joking aside, its never been officially declared what the actual % is

 

[coollino]

Ahh, the fume if he doesn't start against arsenal.

 

[Jags..class]

We got 27 million for lescott and fellaini, bill is much better then he was when he was dealing with Rooney, he learnt now and he also in control due to stones 4 year contract.

The board will be lucky to have £15m to spend this year. Revenue will be lower than last year, wages higher and there is no significant money from sales like Fellaini

You can tell @Moomin had a field day at the beginning of this thread. lol

Times have changed but anyway, I wouldn't wipe my bum on Fergie's autobiography.
