Wait and see.

Gut feeling or just believing the media hype?

For me, it depends how late Chelsea leave it. If they haven't made a bid that meets our value by the Barnsley game, then I don't think he'll go.

Thought this pretty aptly sums up the Chelsea shower's reaction to Everton actually wanting to keep a prized asset...

Why would Stones leave a team sitting 5th on the table for another sitting 16th?

A number of reasons on that

European football
And more money
Plus still early days for the table, as much as i don't like them they won't be sat below 5th come the end of the season.

Only media rumour but apparently he flat out rejected leaving us if it was true.

Must be the Pringles addiction he has, glad it was just a rumor as I bought his shirt last season

LIVERPOOL ECHO: Everton considering new Chelsea bid for John Stones after Mourinho chucked in 3 Freddos on top

It's a disgrace that Freddos have got so much smaller

I'd love it if Everton stood firm here and told Chelsea and everyone else to get lost no matter what the bids are. We might be a small club now in the grand scheme of things, and small clubs are clearly expected to know their place and sell their best talents to the clubs that really matter, but we have our pride.
That said, I appreciate that £35m or whatever would present an opportunity to offload players like McGeady, Gibson and Naismith and put a plan in place for replacing the ageing legs of Osman, Pienaar and Jagielka come the time. Okay, maybe not the latter group as £35m minus a sum going to Barnsley and then being horribly fleeced for a new centre half or two probably would wipe most of that out.

I've just read a few pages of this and now I'm wracked with worry and hope! A strange mix which feel like taking too many Gary's all at once...

I'd be happier if the club released a statement stating categorically that Stones will not be leaving this summer.

I do have a nagging feeling that Chelsea are getting encouragement from somewhere.

They have done.

Twice.

Martinez even went to the trouble of repeating Mourinhos words back at him.

Mourinho said. All clubs can put bids in for any players, we are allowed. All Martinez needs to say is, he's not for sale and thats that.

Martinez said in his last press conference. "He is not for sale, and that's that"

I don't know how much clearer they can get.

If EFC board were given a list of players to buy from the manager and we have the funds then why are we waiting to pull the trigger?

Do we have the money?

Whatever would be left of £35/£40/£50 Million to use as transfer funds is clearly nowhere near his worth to our future as a team... hope the club sees that as well and stand firm.
