John Stones

[Paul Dean]

No way. Wages maybe? There's no way it's sell to buy no way.

Get real will you ffs

We are getting 100m from Sky and have just received 50m from Stones

You think we will spend anything near 100m mate?

He's going to make a lot of money from this club over the next few years, Lukaku next summer is nailed on

 

[Bungle]

Hey lads, Farhads the name, I'm here to overpay an underwhelming manager, sell your brightest prospect and sign cheap replacements to keep us on an even keel. I'll also fill the Mayors fat face with pies to bribe him into not confirming that I don't have a pot to piss in and am just chucking up some knock off cladding instead of a new stadium LOL.

Good times ahead.

I think Moshiri will be heavily judged on what happens now. And rightfully so.

I agree.

With everything that has been said in regards to why we were selling stones there isn't any more excuses as to why we can't spend money

Selling future England captain for £40m and people are happy to replace him with a £15m 32 year old from Swansea.

£47.5m for a defender who (while clearly very talented) is miles from the finished article.

I'd much rather he'd stayed and developed here, but he's wanted to go for 12 months, and clearly nothing was going to change his mind... so we take a huge fee and move on.

Rodwell was a future England captain when we sold him too.

Third time we've had these mugs eyes out.

 

[Muggins]

Good player, not what we need, not bothered i think hes a limited centre back albeit a good player. I think he could be trully great in defensive midfield but doubt he will.

We need a monster nutcase leader at CB. Stones was never going to be that guy in my opinion.

 

[Bagpuss]

As stated earlier in the thread, if Stones wants to become the defensive player of his generation he should have stayed and let Koeman work out the kinks in his game. There is not a better coach in world football who would have been able to give Stones the 1-1 coaching that Koeman could have. Guardiola is a great coach but dont think he is the best coach for Stones at this stage of his career. Good luck John and thanks for the memories and the money.

48m hahahaha

Didn't we knock back a 50m bid last summer

Clubs going backwards under this clown

You too, in the bin

 

[Tubey]

Sound price that.


Now we just need to spend that cash and the other £100m we have...

Anything less than a £50m+ net spend and Moshiri should be hammered by the fans. With the TV money and his supposed investment, we should go absolutely crazy now to repair the mood.

And that doesn't mean Lamine f'in Kone and a bunch of £5m players.

Goodbye John Stones. Error prone but has the potential to be a top player.
Compliments to whoever scouted him and a big acknowledgement to Moyes for yet another who turned out to be an incredible budget find.

[Jack29]

Expecting 147.5M to be spent or Moshiri is a fraud!

 

[Bungle]

Just been thinking that myself, and it won't be a marquee signings, it will just be, well, your normal Everton signings.

Say we get £40m net after paying Barnsley, and we pay £7.5m Gueye, £17m Kone and £15m Williams, Oh look what that adds up to.

 

[Brownie86]

In fairness, everyone wants to play for Guardiola, instant european footy, a hefty wage increase. Taking these blue tinted glasses off I dont blame him.

Now I've put the blue tinted glasses back on, I hope his next poo is a hedgehog

 

[efc.1878]

I'm quite sad, but nobody is bigger than Everton. Leave this lad behind us, closed chapter.

COYB

This on toast ... time to close thread or rename and put in World Football
