John Stones

Our chief executive as done a interview with one of our fans and he had this to say about Stonesy

THERE IS 100% A VERY SUBSTANTIAL SELL ON CLAUSE.

It was said at the WSB evening at the no7 with Mr Cryne, but there seems to be some confusion remaining. Ben reiterated the clause exists.



He told me that if and when John leaves Everton, if it's for anything like or above the current quoted fees doing the rounds (£30m plus) we will be well set for a number of years, it will be a big help to the club. He did though want to make it clear that with such big fees, the buying club would pay the fee in stages over a number of years, therefore we too would get our cut over a number of years. It is also - because of our clause - in Everton's interests to get as much as possible, at the right time. He again referred to Mr Cryne's sadness over the initial deal but this clause once activated will be fantastic news for the club, in particular the academy which Mr Cryne intends to keep at category 2 level come what may, so we can continue to hopefully produce more and more 'John Stones'.


On Stonesy, to add to the love in for him - John was told of interest in him from other clubs and the club put it to John that signing a long term deal would help the club get a better financial return. He signed that deal instantly. "Where do I sign?" he said. Ben said that they've done similar with James Bree, who rejected Man Utd without even taking a look, and signed with us instantly. Referred to Davies, Smith, Digby doing the same.
 

He does seem a lot more genuine (honest too ?), than say McCarthy. I'll be sad when he leaves but feel I'll always have a degree of affection for the lad. IMO he'll be a 'great'.
 

Obviously biased but i think any team in the world would be lucky to have him.

Id imagine in a couple of years Real Madrid will come calling as long as he's a "glamourous signing" through performing with the National team.

Would be amazed if he went to chelsea.
