John Stones

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

He's been desperate to leave for 18 months, and let's be honest, who could blame him? Even if he had been tempted to stay, what's the club done this summer to convince him? Sign Gueye? Gee, that's really going to make him think twice. No, I believe the club wanted him gone just as much, as there isn't actually that much money there and it's a chance to re-build the squad with 2 or 3 decent players. Shame, but probably as close to the truth than most of the other stories we've been fed be so-called ITKs.

I would guess if its a part exchange deal, the total value will be undisclosed.

Need to get this done asap, gone on long enough.

Sky sports news on it now. Today will be interesting.

Literally [Poor language removed] himself in the Derby



Boooo

Really interested to see if this ends up being £50m or £30m and Bony, I hope it's the latter. Then spend the rest of Williams and Kone.

Bony, Williams, Kone is much better for us in the here and now than having Stones who didn't want to be here anyway. He'll become a top player, but we couldn't afford to hang round.

Think it will be cash for Stones then we buy Bony. Allows us to spend more on wage increases then.

The details of the deal will be interesting: straight fee or player involved? (i.e. Bony)

The dandruff kid ?

Lol at Everton waiting all summer for Manchester City to hand us our summer transfer budget, more than happy to jeopardise our first few fixtures by not getting the players in we so badly need.

Gonna miss the lad, loved watching him play in his first season, real shame he got his head turned last season.

Lol at Mourinho turned his head, then he ended up at City, Mourinho's new rivals.

You did warn us to be fair.

I'm not saying its great that he is going but looking at the last season or so at this moment in time he is not what we need.
We will be getting big money for a player who still has a lot of developing to do and learn alot defsively.
We were all saying we need a big brute at the back not someone who struggles in the air and it seems that is what we will be replacing him with.
Stones is obviously going to turn out into a fantastic centre back and unfortunatly it wont be with us, but he is not what is needed in a leaky and un protected defence at the moment.
In a year or two time we will be waxing lyrical about a new kid on the block anyway, possibly Holgate or Galloway

There you all were, John Stones Everton & England captain of the future, and then Everton got bullied by City while you thought we were signing Koulibaly to partner Stones.

Everton are treating you like dirt.
