John Stones transfer saga

[DanB90]

I wish we were in a position to turn down the transfer request as some have suggested, but we literally have 2 recognised centre backs. If one doesn't want to be here, is there any point in keeping him?
Can't believe it's been left til this late though.

Gutted.

I'm trying to see it from his point of view. More money and silverware is a factor no doubt. Can't help but think our total lack of ambition has probably not helped.

 

[larrygobfiend]

Yeah, the media want John Stones to play for Chelsea, not Mourinho or John Stones himself.

Jesus.

Wind your neck in. I was just highlighting the fact the media have been obsessed with his potential transfer all summer... I'm sure John Stones has been pretty aware of it.

Jesus.

 

[banno]

Oh well not a surprise. We are not big enough (anymore) to hold on to players that are wanted by richer clubs. Bet you Bill is smiling and rubbing his hands. Stepping stone is what we are and probably always will be. Ross next.

 

[Tubey]

If we sell, there's absolutely no point supporting this club anymore. No ambition to do anything beyond exist - why should I 'support' that.

 

[SNova]

I doubt we will keep him if he has actually handed a transfer request in. However, if we do keep him, I think it will indicate that this transfer request news is fabricated.

 

[barneygumble]

However, i do find the irony that we're all sitting here dissing SSN 'sources' only this morning, yet now, we're sitting here cursing the world as a Sky 'Source' provides 'breaking' news.

 

[Fedlingen]

This is all down to the board, not a doubt in my mind. We've seen this so many times before, time to get these buffoons out of our club

 

[blue4eva77]

Make no mistake. Our club is in quick sand and this only confirms it.

Clap Clap Clap..... Our club is an absolute shambles.

 

[Ashtonian]

It's never gone away.

it kinda did when the echo printed it mate

only a twitter account has been keeping it going so far

 

[GlosBlue]

The mighty West Brom refused a transfer request yesterday.
Do the same Kenwright.

Just for ONCE dont mug us off.

Yeah but he will go I reckon. WBA are just trying to squeeze Spurs.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

It's so frustrating when, as a club, we try to build something from the ground up.
A solid, young & exciting spine that could really challenge given time.

And then, because we "can't compete financially" we have to sell our ambitions for scrap.

 

[hktoffee]

Can see us throwing money at [Poor language removed] Van Dyke from Celtic and Yarms now to get em over the line.

I am certain we will sign Yarmolenko and another established CB like the Inter captain as replacement now.

BK will probably let Martinez to spend the whole sum or else the riot (against him) will be...unimaginable.

 

[jinkyali]

Its the timing of it which stinks.

 

[matty1878]

Absolute disgrace tell him to put a transfer request in so the board and manager take no blame.

Exactly this mate we're skint so this is the only way to buy. It's sickening
