It would be lovely if our fans stopped being so "sympathetic" with players who want to "further their careers" or line their pockets and instead put the interest of EFC ahead of these entitled buggers.
If we all took that attitude then we will remain "a mid table team" and we should just let any player who thinks he can take a "step up" walk out the minute a "bigger club" comes calling.
You would have Everton as the Uriah Heep of English football with that type of thinking, Ash.
We are Everton and we are ever so 'umble
Stones can just do one as far as I am concerned.
And far from not "blaming" him for wanting to leave, I think he should be more "sympathetic" to the hopes and aspirations of the football club which plucked him from obscurity.....when the only serious rival to us for his signature was Wigan FFS...gave him a chance at first team football he would not have had at City, stuck by him when mistake was piling upon mistake on the pitch and gave him a platform to become an international player.
All in a couple of years.
Make no mistake here......Everton FC owes Stones bugger all.
He on the other hand owes his current elevated status to our Grand Old Team and to David Moyes and Roberto Martinez in particular.
As others have said, he is valued far above what he has shown on the pitch thus far and he may or may not turn out to be a great player in the end.
One thing is for sure.....the phoney war is over for him and City will be expecting fifty million quid performances from him right away.
And their fans won't indulge his mistakes on the grounds that "he is young but he will be great in two or three years time".
As the much lamented @davek once said......"he might turn into the next Beckanbauer.....but let's just take the money and let somebody else teach him to fill that role".
I'm gonna rip out the last chapter in all his Harry Potter books!
Liverpool are great & we don't matter !!
that's ironic.
Why would you feel sorry for Stones over that? We're paying him more than most people earn in a year for every week that he stays here.
