John Stones transfer saga

[Jacko93]

Just dont sell him to Chelsea. If United want him, he'll almost definately go there over Chelsea.

 

[leelead]

many people on here probably feel the same and are on the verge of giving up on Everton

What an omnishambles.

We need to sell him now for stupid money,he wants out and we need players desperately,sadly thats where our club is at.

 

[GlosBlue]

I have always thought that Stones has been very quiet during all of this. A lot of our other players speak out in the media and I have always wondered why he never said anything to suggest that he was happy here. Even Martinez's comments did not sound like a man convinced he was staying.

This has been on the cards from day one of the window and we all knew it was going to end with a last minute sale and some mediocre players in.

4 years left? Perhaps he has, Toffeeweb has it listed as June 2018 though.

5 year deal signed last summer

JUUUUDDDDDDAAAAASSSS

Nah, saw it coming. Said it a while back.

£35-40million.

Bench the tit for tomorrow.

You did and were shouted down for it, Fair play.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Can easily be rejected, what the worst that can happen?

We all get AIDS.

 

[Alex Hindmarsh]

Lads he's as good as gone.

Not a chance we're keeping £40mill worth of unhappy player and to be honest I think he should be ashamed leaving it this late.

We can't afford as a club to let this drag out, if he's really serious he has to go. I can't imagine the reception he'll get though after this.

 

[Gerbs]

I'm gutted, but in all honesty can you blame him? He isnt a fan he is a professional. And he sees a club with zero ambition bringing in some Mori and Leondro characters to be his teamates while every club in the league is looking to improve.

Hope we sell him oversees or to United. Any team really other than Chelsea.

 

[Taff]

confirmed by BBC sport now so I'd say it's true.

Not the end of the world if someone puts in a transfer request. We can still keep him.

Let's just try not to get too emotional about a young guy wanting to make a big money move to a champions league team.

 

[kenada_blue]

If he's sold then its Lescott all over again. In addition to that we can expect more fervent protests by the Blue Union. Bill Kenwright can only take so much. The £30M is useless to us at this time. Moreover how many Stones like defenders are there we can get? Liverpool couldn't get another Suarez, Spurs couldn't get another Bale. So its not an easy thing to do. Everton needs to show their balls today or we can be sure of similar situations with Barkley, Mccarthy and Lukaku.

Yeah, they could've. They just have Rodgers in charge making the transfers.

 

[jinkyali]

i can absolutely guarantee this is not john stones, and it's our board.

Rooney

jeffers

fellaini

all the same, all came from the board.

Who knows.

I imagine the board could have said to the agent
'You put an official request in, we will do more business through you etc'

 

[SNova]

If he wants to go to Barca, Bayern, Real Madrid or even Man City it wouldn't bother me. But Chelsea? 'Koff

Lanky Judas.

Conversations with Bill.

#1 John, we don't want to lose you of course, but in the best interests of the club we have to accept an offer. You get CL, we get to improve the squad a little. Now, help me out. We have to manage the fans who are going to be really upset losing a player like you. Ask for a transfer and stick to my script. O K ?

#2 I know how upset you all are. I'm a blue too don't forget. We had to let him go unfortunately even though there were tears in my eyes.
