John Stones transfer saga

[blulouie]

We hold most of the cards, 4 yrs left, don't need to sell, Chelsea desperately need cb, ran be billionaire.

Take them to the cleaners or keep him for another yr. Other teams have done it recently

Most leagues have salary caps too, which means money isn't usually a big factor. Baseball is the outlier here.

Indeed mate. I may be paying much more attention to those sports in the near future, as football is increasingly not for me.

 

[Brennan]

I guarantee he won't be sold on the last day.

I don't think he'll be sold at all, but it definitely won't be the last day, because the window shuts at 5pm this time, and there will be no time to spend the money.

And the only possible way the club could pull off a sale without royally infuriating the fans would be to immediately spend the money on new players.

He's not going to be sold anyway, so this is all besides the point.

He's not going anywhere end of. Utter mongs

We could always stand up to this and refuse to sell.

He's under contract, we should act hard.

This is the least I would expect this board to do.

 

[The Equaliser]

Why not ? the player is still an Everton player for the next 4 years, do what Liverpool did ..want Sterling ? its 50 mil.
They can bid as many times as we let them until thats met. City had to do it, any club wants him pays the price.

Because Chelsea won't pay that. There's more chance of him staying which is still a possibility.

 

[Efc 9911]

Most do not, but it's also a different mentality. SOME players want yo be either THE reason or PART of the reason they drag a team to success. the whole idea over here that a player who is really good wants to join a Champions League tan when they've done literally nothing to earn it themselves..

Also in American sports, players tend to have more loyalty to the team that drafted them.

S

I've seen

I've seen Craig Short and Carl Tiler play for us in defence, it could be worse lol

Add Glenn Keeley, Billy Wright, Mike Walsh Ian Marshall Alec Cleland John O Kane Paul Holmes to that list!

 

[riddick]

When? Never heard of this myself. VERY few players e.i. Kobe, Jeter, Favre have stipulations in their contracts that allow them to say "no" to a potential move. I cannot think of a time where a player said "I want to go to "X" because they can win something."

The owners of the team would laugh in the player's face and tell them to get their ass on the field.

You've never heard of no trade clauses? They are in literally every American sorts league. Any good player had that in their contact. That gives them a HUGE upper hand determining where they want to go.

 

[Librarian]

Which journalist broke the story? That might tell you a lot.

 

[deipnosophist]

Why even post this utter mince. We lost 2-0 to a team who are in the running to win the league and had multiple chances to score ourselves.

...I guess I followed the example of the majority of yours...

Carmelo pushed a move through to NY for marketing reasons.

It normally either tends to happen that way, or when a star in on the downside of their career and looking to get that elusive ring.
