John Stones transfer saga

[Quadvod]

Life in the bottom 14

- select reserves in the carling cup so you can go out away to stockport (cup runs just get in the way of the challenge for that coveted 7th place)
- get pissed off when stockport are playing walsall in the semi
- promise you'll take the fa cup seriously until the luck of the draw sends you away to city in the 4th round where their £30m third choice striker bangs in a first half hat trick
- if by some miracle you qualify for the europa league ,spend the whole season bemoaning how all the extra fixtures are damaging your crusade for 7th.throw key game by selecting your worst defender
- sign formerly class but now over the hill players who disrupt your dressing room with tales of fabulous riches - call them a mercenary [Poor language removed] when they agitate to leave
- sign young english talents with the hope of building a team to compete - call them a mercenary [Poor language removed] when they agitate to leave
- laud the mainstays of your team for their loyalty whilst secretly acknowledging that they're just too crap for any other team to shell out actual cash for them
- award afore mentioned mainstays with 3 year contracts when they hit 35
- be ridiculed in the media by such luminaries as cascarino and merson for daring to want to keep any half decent player
- be pleasantly surprised when your arsenal away ticket is only £69
- struggle to fathom whether you are actually playing man utd on sky as the trailer neglects to mention you
- wonder how low you can actually sink when stoke city are seen as more attractive proposition
- read an article forecasting you won't win the league in the next 1000 years and think "only a 1000 years"!


Long live the premier league

If he plays tomorrow I hope he gets bood to absolute f#$k

I doubt whether he will play - RM should drop him from the squad now till Sept the 2nd and play Browning!

If you lot were redchites, then there would be bullets in post now

 

[Barkley1878]

Yes he will be an cfc player.... can't wait to see him tackle lukaku

Shouldn't you be on your own forum.

FYI your plastic support are in for a warm welcome come 2 weeks time, IF Stones goes and again it's on our terms, Lukaku will steam roll the kid, our defence can't handle big strikers and neither will yours.

 

[Joey66]

Well I have just had to explain to my 4 year old son who has been in tears all afternoon, who has a shirt with 'Stones' on the back , why John doesn't love Everton anymore and why we probably won't be seeing him play for us in the future



Ok, so it was my wife explaining to me in an attempt to stop me sobbing but you get the idea......

Explain He has not gone just yet as he is not for sale because that's what EFC are telling the fans!

 

[SunKing]

The problem is other clubs will put the price up for any target we go for!

Absolutely, I'm struggling to see any way that this is a good scenario for us with only a week of the window left. Personally I'd reject the request and implore him to be a professional.

 

[Brennan]

Yeah. He's completely blameless.


Do you ever tire of being 100% wrong?

When did I say he was blameless ?

Oh yeah. I didn't.

Think they already did that with the TV money...

 

[jinkyali]

For me the only deal we should do should be

32m + CASH upfront & Remy permanent
Get two centre halves and no 10 with the cash.

we have spent very little!

i really thought that stones was true blue. what a fool i was.

 

[Blue 1]

Typical bloody Everton, this is. Get the fans onside then sell at the last minute so there's no time to reinvest, hold their hands up and say "we did everything we could but he wanted to leave, ultimately". Always the fecking same.

Can't wait to see Lennon and a couple of untried bargain basement South Americans playing for us.

FFS!!!

 

[USABlue]

The other thing to consider is whether, as I believe is likely, Man United or City enter the bidding this time next year. Quite possible and YET ANOTHER reason not to sell now.

The only reason to sell now short of 100 million is to benefit Stones and Chelsea to the detriment of Everton.

no defender is worth 100m

Tongue in cheek mate !!

You excused him for his duplicity.
