John Stones

Annoying we won't see at least one season of him under Koeman.

True, thankfully we have Koeman.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

We shall see. I'm betting he will be fantastic. I'm basing that on the absolute fact inside the last 12 months the 2 best managers in world football want/ed him. He's wonderful and the biggest talent we have lost since Rooney. Also the first player since Arteta that Evertonians (in the main) didn't want to lose.

I would still question why only 1 team was in for him though.

It is, because Koeman would have been good for him; maybe a little bit of fear from Stones in not staying knowing that Koeman would be tough on him and would expect improvement in his defensive duties.

Only one team was in for Ronaldo in 09 only one team was in for Pogba. Who was the last player that had 2 top clubs publicly going for him?

 

[canuckblue]

I'll wish him the best, with this one caveat: Rodwell.

Has anyone said, 'shouldn't this thread be moved to world football now?' yet lol

 

[Stan Lee Park]

Really disappointed that our finest young prospect has left, but even more disappointed that some of our fans have now got what they wanted.

Madrid and Man U both wanted Pogba this window. Man U financial package was seen as too elaborate for Real.

Man City is not a step up unless money is your god

You need to check your calendar, it's 2016 not 1986.

Money or trophies, I guess.

What a strange post.

Sod wishing him the best. I hope it all goes tits up and he gets relegated with Sunderland in a few years time.

Exactly

 

[Ducans elbow]

See yeah hate it when players come out and say they don't want to play for us no more, Williams will do more than well to replace him
At least Williams can head a ball

But I thought he said he'd stay after a 10 minute meeting with Koeman at Formby Hall
