John Stones transfer saga

[bitter-no-better]

What's the point of long term contracts, just a way for a pay rise and a large signing on fee for the player. If you not going to honour at least half of its term good riddenns

If you don't have them players leave for nothing.

There's still Barkley.

Gone next year since he will only have two years left on his deal. We won't even be able to entertain the idea of keeping him against his wishes.

At least that will give us the funds to replace all our aging players and the cycle repeats.

Sort of what we are doing? Paid £3 million, selling for over £30 million. To be honest that is how we have to operate!

Future England ,and club captain 30 million is no where near enough hopefully still not for sale!

The only thing making this easier to take is that Kate Abdo is currently on Sky Sports News. If you're going to get bad news you could do worse than to get it from her...

 

[Professor Toffee]

Has he actually put in a transfer request, has this been made public?

Or is it just "sources"?

I would imagine Stones' agent is the source

He still had a few years left, no need for a new one

Mourinho made some comment at the start that our board wanted to wait until the end of the window. Looks like he was right.

This was the plan all along. We hoped it wouldn't be but deep down we knew it and the closer it came the more everything started to play out as expected.

We're a feeder club and nothing more and that's the board's fault.

Where was this?

I remember the, if the club say he's not for sale, we look somewhere else quote, never saw the other one though.

One experienced CB and RB for the foreseeable...that's what worries me. Just take a look at the next few fixtures

This is Rooney all over again this.

Not fooled by this board any more.

[The Equaliser]

Does this mean our transfer window is open now???

Yes. Yes, it finally is.

 

[Efc 9911]

Rooney is finished. Expect utd to bid for lukaku within the next few windows.

Time is a flat circle
