We have done. We've straight up stated that to buy him you'd have to make him the most expensive defender in PL history, and even then we don't want to sell.

If it is believed Sterling is worth 50 mill then Stones should be at least that.

More, I say.
Attackers usually rely on pace. One hamstring/cruciate injury can often rob them of that (see Owen). Furthermore, many attacking players get found out early on, and rarely manage to maintain their form throughout their career (see SWP).
Top defenders don't rely on such variables; for defenders, it's strength, coolness, ability to command the team from the back, quality tackling. Usually such qualities don't dramatically tail off - if anything they improve with age.
Now sure, defenders don't score you the goals that win games, and never command the same transfer fees as attackers do, but as a long-term investment goes, Stones is worth far more over the next 10 years than Sterling ever could.

Plus Sterling will be finished by the time he is 30/31 with his pace, etc, while Stones, as a lot of centre backs can, can go on for another 5 or 6 years more.
If he was to go and i don't he will, he wont be as much as Sterling, simple fact of footballing life defensive players dont cost as much as offensive ones.
But i would be using the Luke Shaw fee as a marker.

New stadium called the Bill Kenwright Arena and £20m to replace them all for Bobby. You know it makes sense.

It is suspiciously the same as the Coleman to UTD story tho
I mean, are they just making crap up to fill inches and appease the blues in the all new look Echo?

Seems more likely that it's the club using the Echo to get that info out in the media. They give "exclusive" info to them all the time because they print whatever Everton tell them to.
......we must be doing something right in the transfer market if some of our best talent like Stones are linked with big money moves away. Nice problem to have, it would be more of an issue if our players were not in demand.
