I genuinely dont see the light at the end of the tunnel for this club
I can. We're Everton.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.
Was just about to post this.
I actually feel sick.
I think it's more the point we aren't giving him any reason to want to stay. As another poster said. Next year it will be Rom and Ross.Ive no strong stance on the board..
But if people are going to take the 'poor innocent John Stones forced out by our board, he doesn't want to leave, he loves the club' opinion you need to stop being so naive.
Its the timing of it which stinks.
Just so late in the window again. I really did think he would stay for at least a year.
the fact it's just before we have to pay back a loan?Its the timing of it which stinks.
His body language against Watford was worse.
If you got offered a job with more money and possibly more global success, would you stay an extra year to just 'grow into your current role'?
Unfortunately we will take the 3rd option. We will sell him and bring in Evans and Lennon and the money will disappear.We have a couple of options really.
Sell him and get it over with, buy some replacements and pronto because lets not forget we will only have one experienced centre back if he goes.
Tell him he is staying and then make it worth his while by actually investing in the squad and pushing on. There is no point telling/asking anybody to stay if we just end up mid table again.
