John Stones transfer saga

[Blu Bianco]

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

That is the very nature of contracts these days. Essentially they mean nothing, other than if you tie a player down to one and someone else comes in for them, then you will get more money for them.

It's not about loyalty, it's about money.

Surely all transfers happen in the transfer window?

Shocking isn't it?

Prefferebly with time to spend the money, surely you can see the point being made here.

It's how late these things happen. We seem to sell very late in the window, which allows money to 'go missing' in between windows.

 

[Caso01]

Are you fit?

 

[bunky]

Not angry, just massively disappointed. Nothing means anything anymore.

 

[Albertini78]

This late in the window even if you's might have a replacement in mind instead of costing you's say £10m given the selling club know you's have the cash and are running out of time might bump up the price to £15m

I like the lad as a player be a shame to see him turning out playing for those tossers

 

[Sapie88]

I finished it all.

The queasiness passed quite quickly.
Now I just feel like a fat pig.

Well in mate.

I'm going out for some now.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

So just to confirm is it just sources at the minute mate?

If so I will save my fume for another day. If it turns out to be true then Everton, well more importantly Martinez has to flat out refuse to sell him.

We sell him.for 40m and what then? We spend 30m on crap in a rush and basically means we haven't spent a penny this summer.

I want to see if we've got the balls to stick him in the reserves whilst still going out getting these 3 players he keeps talking about. If we sell, Martinez words will have been hollow and for me it means ALL OF US as fans of this great club have to stick together and get this joke of a board out because it isn't acceptable for kids aged 21 after one decent season thinking they can do a Rooney on us. If we can't make a kid stick it out here with all the money washing about in football well that just shows you how the mighty have fallen and my anger will be directed firmly on the board of directors whose job it is to adhere to our motto, some thing they've been trying to erase for the best part of 25 years.

Yeah supposedly sky reported that they believe he handed in a transfer request, then the BBC followed saying the same, they probably just followed sky.

You mean how late?

If we're trying to keep the player though, it will be later.

Best in the league. He's unique, he really is.

Even if he does kick up a stink and acts like a tit from here on out, I won't kneejerk into childish denial. He is the dog's bollocks.

But, CBs can be replaced. If we end up with someone as good as he is now but also another key player and some more depth, then on the whole, we'll be stronger.

I don't see how he's that unique besides being English. It's not like he's in the same class as young defenders like varane and Marquinhos

Point being that transfers happen during the transfer window?

 

[Jags..class]

We all moan on here, but we do nothing, hopefully the board is awre of this thread

Again if you can't see the point being made then this tweet wasnt for you.
