John Stones transfer saga

[Haston]

The whole thing is being handled very well by the club/player IMO, look at the mess at Man Utd with the De Gea situation, perfect example of how not to handle transfer speculation. We really are an example to all teams

Really hope we can keep hold of him for another season....will also add on another £10m to his price the way he is progressing. Its a hard choice for both player and club

 

[magicjuan]

There's no price on intent and interpretation. We sell now, regardless of price, we will be seen as pushovers, out muscled, hoodwinking the fans ad nauseum, we stand firm and those the club and team need, the supporters become heartened.

It would give the greatest indication to the supporters of the intentions of the club.

Keeps this up and he'll have Barca, Real & Bayern on the phone to him next Summer.

He's brilliant, in a way he's too good for Chelsea.

A dog turd on the footpath is too good for them. Look at Rom yesterday when he apologised to the Soton supporter. Does anyone think Terry would have done the same?

 

[Julius Geezer]

I personally think Mourhinio is using the Stones transfer saga as an excuse for when he bails around November , already looks like something is stirring down Stamford Bridge with him blaming his medical staff ! He probably knows that Stones is going nowhere for anything less than north of £45M and Chelsea probably (hopefully) won't pay that !
Perfect opportunity for him when they are not doing as well as expected to roll out the "board didn't back me....etc....etc"

Agree, but in fairness a lot of other teams (like Man Utd with De Gea) don't have the benefit of the target player being John Stones, i.e. a level headed lad who will continue to put in a great shift despite intense media speculation. Credit to him, he was outstanding yesterday.

Also De Gea only has 1 year left on his contract. If Stones had 1 year left we'd already have sold him!

Absolutely, Stones has handled the whole thing impeccably, I'm just imagining Mourinho watching the game yesterday, fuming because Stones looks completely unfazed by the whole situation!

Its like the Baines saga two years ago - Felli with find it hard to get into that UNt midfield when he is fit!

I'll be happier when the transfer window shuts and he's still here.

Terry hauled off at half time. Could Jose be making a statement to the Chelsea owners to up their bid?

My thoughts exactly

 

[bflefc]

Chelsea not looking great at the back today, and just conceded from a corner.

I fully expect a monster bid from them now.....

 

[ijjysmith]

Bid incoming. Without any question.

I wouldn't sell for any amount. Not anything.
