John Stones transfer saga

[sageyefc]

Gray said in talksport an hour ago that he's off

He don't know nothing

 

[Gotagotmug]

How can Everton fans really think Chelsea would pay £30 plus million and not play him if he goes he plays surely ?

Think it's more how often he plays. £30 million should make him a starter, but let's say he has a mistake like he did against Watford, he's out for the next game or until Jose trusts him again.

There's a reason Jose is gettin desperate, he knows his value increases again next summer for a bunch of reason. Hopefully the board see this and hold out

This thread needs a vaultable poll

True.

It is like me sitting here in my house.

I love this house and selling it is the last thing on my mind.

However, if someone knocked on my door this very afternoon and offered me way over the market value for the house.......well.....

Spooky, that was the exact same analogy in my head when I wrote it. But the difference I suppose is that we have a market value in mind for Stones, which Chelsea might offer, not Chelsea paying us much more than we think he is worth.

@LouReedwalkonthewildside - this entire debacle has been played out in the media by Chelsea. Starting with them feeding information to the press who were on their pre-season tour, as to their interest and the size and timings of their bids. They've done the same today, they have bid £30m and we have told them no.

If he says it often enough it may come true.

Absolutely, I don't see why the opinon of Andy Gray is any more valid than any other media person.

The assumption is based on Everton not being able to resist a big bid and there is a price at which most of us would agree that the player should be sold but30-35m is not that price. At 45m-50m it would be hard to turn down.

I think we need to go back to the managers most recent statemewnt. The player is not for sale.

 

[Fedlingen]

Really don't hope we sell. Other than that i assume Rom may have some horror stories to tell about Mourinho playing young players.

This.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

I would be incredibly narked to see Stones go, but a part of me would snigger if he was sold to either Manchester club and not Chelsea.

The lad is behaving respectfully to us whilst you'd imagine being interested in a prospective move to the current champions . I've no problem with his behaviour at all and a few other 'evertonians' in the past could learn a lesson from his conduct , so far at least .

Quite right. He's clearly a sensible and respectful lad.

The whole thing is just stupid.

Not sure why anyone thinks we'd sell. at least NOW.

Would leave us handicapped at the back and after Barnsley get their cut, how much does that leave us with, how much time to drum up a starting CB? It signals a sure lack of intent to our other players that the media will start targeting for sale, leaving us look like a fancy car to be stripped in a crap part of town. Imagine it would be a lot easier to pry Barkley or anyone else loose at that point. "See, they sold Stones when they didn't need to. No intent on challenging." Especially to sell at this stage in the season when anything is possible. It's not like we're clearly adrift, 20 points off 4th and 3 ahead of the relegation zone in January.

We don't need to sell and why in the living hell would we sell a player of that caliber if only one club is bidding? we know others will come knocking around, kicking the tires. it makes absolutely zero sense to sell the player now if we can get more use of him on the pitch and a much larger windfall in a later window, wiht more cash and time to find his replacement.

If we have to sell at all. Which, at present, it seems we don't.

Play him and hold on to him as long as he wants to rep the Royal Blue

He's not going anywhere this summer.

Correct,the Telegraph saying Everton have not changed their stance,John Stones is not for sale.
