John Stones transfer saga

[Efc 9911]

But he will become twice the player Luiz is.

Maybe or maybe not. Anyway at the time luiz was sold, he was a starter for Brazil and cl winner and a starter for Chelsea.

So should we buckle at the first bid from another club simply because it's early in the transfer window?

Not getting inot mate. You have your opinions I have mine, I respct yours. But dont agree that its a footballing practice I agree with.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Chelsea aren't going to pay 40m for him to sit on the bench. He will start alongside Cahill and Chelsea might even being to start Zouma and Stones a year early if Cahill's form doesn't improve. However put it this way if he goes to Chelsea he would be first choice between all of them.

Chelsea won't pay 40 million full stop, wouldn't be surprised if they revert to 20 million now

Just spent 10 minutes sing along to this replacing sandy with stonesey, it's hard to sing through the tears but cathartic.

We should have named our price and went strong on it mate. We have the players' contract for four years - Stones should have been spoken to early and told the score.

It's now quite clear Everton wanted to do business all along, and I can't even express how saddening that is.

This is the first kick in the teeth.

United coming in to outbid them would be super right about now. Does seem like an odd move from John though unless he knows that there's more teams putting in concrete bids.

Their hand has been massively strengthened now though. We have to decide whether or not we keep an unhappy player on the books. That's what it boils down to now.

An unhappy player with 4 years to wait out and the Euros next summer. We have all the power here if the board have a set of balls

 

[blue76]

The second is when we sell Stones for sub- 40 million.

 

[Steve0]

He doesn't even have the pedigree that luiz had. Take 35m and move on

He's better and younger than Luiz. And he commands the English premium. £45m before we even talk.

 

[chicoazul]

What I learnt looks now no more than a cynical ploy.

Kenwright can go hang as far as I'm concerned.

Fooling no one now.

@davek

Didn't you offer the mods @Woolly Blue @the esk to ban you for 30 days if Stones handed a transfer request in mate?

 

[DanEFC92]

Hello darkness my old friend

 

[bizzaro]

What happened to him staying mate. You assured you was ITK and he wouldn't ask to leave?

I believed in you.

The club 100% told another unnamed club he wasn't for sale at any price.

Verbatim.

 

[Stocko3000]

Stones leaving, Yarms not coming.

 

[J.S26]

SSN saying barnsley have a sell on clause of around 5%, surely that's wrong? Everywhere else reckons 15%

Also said Yarmolenko deal is off but could be resurrected.

Get Yarmolenko and Van Dijk/Koubaily/Dragovic and let the judas go to sit on Chelsea's bench

He will start at Chelsea Don't be an fool
