John Stones transfer saga

[Professor Toffee]

Bring back Alcaraz!

Be careful what you wish for

I can't help but think that sticking a request in at this point is very poor form from Stones.

Kenwright.

Distracting with one hand whilst his other is doing something else

 

[Will Escott]

Club can still reject the request and if he's a professional he'll accept that. If he goes then I lay no blame at Martinez but with the board. He's said time and time again that Stones isn't for sale so it'll be the board that eventually accept the bid.

 

[allen]

All they have to do is reject it to prove the theory wrong.

It is wrong, already. The clue is in it being John Stones putting a transfer request in for John Stones.

 

[Coffee and TV]

I wonder how the media know... I'm guessing Stones agent leaking it to the press?

 

[davek]

Great timing btw.

Remind me again who we play next?

 

[Magic BFC]

Yes mate, but our aim isn't to sell our best players. We do not want to be a selling club, so welling would obliterate that aim - whereas Barnsley will sell assets to improve all around and progress up the league system.

We're not meant to be aiming to be Premier League makeweights forever, unless Martinez has been chatting pure rubbish.

I understand that but that facts are every clubs a selling club apart from a couple.

 

[leelead]

we have to demand his value i think we know they know (thats why they want him) he going to be best CB in the league even if hes isnt already so if man city pay £35M for Mangala we should demand £50M

 

[Professor Toffee]

Wonder if he will play tomorrow night with the potential of making him cup tied if he does move.

Or if he gets injured, another Browning tackle perhaps

 

[helpimonfire]

If it is true then stuff him as he ain't one of us anymore. Lets get silly dosh for him.

 

[marty mcfly]

Erm... how exactly?

Barnsley are a club who will develop players, sell, reinvest and move up the leagues. All power to them.

You reach a glass ceiling on doing that in the Premier League, and I thought that by developing a 'golden generation' we were aiming to do just that.

How is it 'condescending' to point out Everton's aims are different to Barnsleys? It's the same as Chelsea's are different to Everton's - but like Barnsley have a choice with their business model, so do we, and selling Stones right now flies in the face of the bollox Martinez has said we're trying to do as a club.

I hate to break it to you but I think the plans are to build a stadium and that means selling our prize assets to reinvest in the squad while keeping us mid table.

Barnsley, then Spurs.

 

[Bobbywoodhogan]

Maybe,maybe not. If he does get games I give him this advice: 'dont screw up, because the media will be all over every single mistake you got a free pass on when you were here'.

This will end badly for Stones at Chelsea. He's about two seasons off a challenge like that and will get the arse torn out of him.

Either that or it's the making of him. He'll be playing alongside some fine players in a better defensive team under one of the best coaches in Europe. Who knows how he'll go?

 

[royalblue66]

If he goes,anywhere but Chelski,tell them they are the last club we would sell him to.

BAWK!

Pipe down with this BAWK crap mate.
