Never get the love in with this Bamford lad, scored a few goals in the championship but so has werld clauss talent like Vydra, Cameron Jerome etc. He would flop in the premier league vault me.

Stones should go for nothing less than £45 million.

I mentioned the cash plus a player, as i have no faith in the whole amount of the fee being made available to Martinez.
 

Realisticly- looking at the Sterling deal, the number is around 35-40. Strikers bring a premium and the move is similar, big club to XL club. I don't like it and if I had my druthers the lad would play for Everton for...um, well... ever. It is the way football works though, it is a business built around sport, not sport that happens to make money.

All that said, in one year's time the deal is likely to be even higher if Stones continues to build and especially if he ends up on the pitch at euros next summer. So there is some calculated risk in waiting.

Do you think that the board will hold out for such a fee?

I don't.

I loathe the board but when have we been stung recently? As I mentioned before, the last few times we've sold players we didn't want to, we got really good fees. And they were players who kicked up a stink. The players who didn't (eg Baines) weren't sold.

I really hate how little the board give us and how inept the club's marketing is, but credit where it's due, when selling players we do not want to, we get a good fee or we don't sell them.
 

For me, he is our most valuable asset at the moment. Id let Lukaku or Barkley leave before Stones right now. For these reasons alone I would not sell him unless they were offering double or triple his market value AKA £50m
Also, with him being English, he is worth much more to Chelsea or Man City then his market value - FFS if Sterling is going for £49m .....
 

Nothing short of a British transfer record if we HAVE to sell in this window - the record currently stands at £59.7m

I might be more realistic next summer, but it would still be £40m+

Look, Stones is our best all around player, but there is NO back up plan for Lukaku. You would have to take 3/4 of his fee to get a player not near as good. That's bad business. We need another striker capable player. Even if Nais.Barkley/Kev could fill in there, none of them give the same skills as Rom

I agree that the board are good at getting a decent transfer fee out of other clubs.

My issue with selling Stones is that in this instance, what they imagine to be a good fee won't be truly reflective of his actual worth to the club.
