John Stones transfer saga

[oldblue]

Imagine turning up to training and instead of having Jags, Baines and Coleman to talk to you have John Terry. I would seriously be begging Martinez to never let me leave, prob agree to play for nothing too

 

[Dithering Dougie]

It's too blatant though, it just makes them look like tits. The media in the country has long reached the tipping point.

I don't celebrate death but Murdoch is firmly in the Thatcher category for when he goes.

Nothing will change, News UK doesn't have anything to do with The Mirror, The Mail, Telegraph , Guardian or Talksport and they've all been complicit in denigrating us for a long time.

Yes.

And in fairness to The Digger, I bet he has never even heard of John Stones and has little interest in either Chelsea or Everton.

The bellendery of Merson, Durham, Brazil, Shearer et al starts and ends with themselves.

They really should know better than to whore themselves round the media in an attempt to stay relevant in a game which has passed them by.

Have a little pride in yourselves, boys.

Punditry doesn't have to involve competing with others to mouth the most outrageous bollox.

No but it will be the world minus Rupert Murdoch, and that's never a bad thing.

Best headline has to be this one. Forgot for a minute which club actually owned the player. From the daily express:
Everton boss Roberto Martinez admits John Stones' shock £30m move to Man Utd not happening.

 

[royalblue66]

Yes.

Can add that Bell Cascarino and Rodney Marsh to the list, Fkn joke oh and Aldo the
cart.

Spot on mate.

 

[Gotagotmug]

Murdoch's focus on profit above all has helped drive modern journalism into an advertising black hole. Until someone can prove level-headed and well researched stories can be profitable, papers will continue to be about as important as a fart in a forest.

Glad Stones is staying here though

thats the problem though, how many of these pundits would be there if the media hadn't denegrated into a self serving round of hysterical nonsense. people who can talk and write about the game as they see it are on the fringes or on hard to find parts of the net. They really believe now that your average fan is only interested in a handful of clubs and players and all they need to do is employ people to keep them hyped up. i cant walk past a game of footy in the street or a park and not want to watch so they have had that captive audience for decades but that will change and they won't know what has happened when generations turn away from the game no matter how much money they throw at it

 

[Pat's Van]

And while we are at it, when Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call, was there anyone on the other end to answer it?

yeah antonio meucci, and I hope he called him a robbing scotch %*!@

Spot on. The more disappointing part of it though is that the general public fall for the hysteria, and even thrive in it. You only have to look at the biffs in the Transfer Thread on here to see it's effect.

 

[ijjysmith]

I was amused by the Daily Express' (yes) headline, 'Stones shock £30m Man Utd move not happening', especially considering Utd haven't even made a bid for him.

Some of the tabloids are now beyond parody, such is their desperation for clicks & making stuff up.

Mate.

ive stopped myself going there. i made the mistake of texting a couple of mates one of the rumours that cropped up there. cred gone for the season. I don't understand if they are here for the hysteria and the money go round why dont they just go support chelsea and leave us in peace to our misery

 

[jazzy]

Serious question fellow Blues ........ if Blue Bill doesn't have any money to give to Bobby to strengthen the team ( which we all agree is much needed ) and the only way of doing so is by selling John boy ( with Bobby getting all the proceeds ) would you sell or keep ?

Agreed fully mate. It's as bad as the Clubcall freaks, I hold Evertonians to higher standards than that.

* after me mar clocked the phone bill that time.
