John Stones

[Petit]

The fume when Stones leaves later thus week and Everton still don't sign anyone to excite the fans will bd unreal and rightly so. This looks more like a skimming off the top operation for every day that passes imo.

Barnsley sell on clause is 15% according to BBC!!

That's common knowledge mate. They've done very well out of the deal, deserve their payday for bringing him through the ranks.

Mason Holgate is going to be a better player than Stones.

People are saying that for city to put him in the squad for the CL they have to provide registration date and a medical.

Which means its been done for at least a day. What was the hold up, not announcing it the same day as Pogba, or waiting for replacements (williams Kone). If its been done for a day or two then we should have just announced it and moved on.

If this is true this is the WORST way for us to find out. City have been added to my HATE pile.

There's not much room on here mate.

So that's 7,5 mil, nothing to complain about. They made him the player he is. His devopment over the last couple of years at Everton has been marginal.

Can't wait for the boo's on Saturday .

How can you name a player in your squad that you haven't signed yet?

I mean...what are the actual mechanics of doing that? Surely there has to be a fair bit of paperwork involved?

Everything points to the deal being done and it being kept secret from all fans...until Man City said now say they haven't signed him, which seems to complicate things further.

Are they lying?

You're over thinking it...

Basically the deal is in the latter stages, and City had this deadline they had to meet so that the player would be eligible for games.

That's it.

Club announcement from EFC soon. Error was City's.

 

[ggooggooggoo]

Hamstring will go on this lad trying to impress, i will pi55 myself when it does as well.

any more revelations that half the world already knows mate?

Seems City didn't know that the squad lists would be published, they jumped the gun, how whoppers can blame Everton for that faux pas is beyond me. A good source on another board posted that Stones cleared his locker on Monday, so the deal is done barring a few details and hopefully we can start to move on. He is a great prospect and I'm sorry he's gone, but we can't compete with City, Chelsea and United, so we battle for 4th with Spuds, Arse, RS et al.
