John Stones transfer saga

[blue4eva77]

Lads. I'm entering a moment of calm and whilst i've got my calm head on...

We've been here numerous times before and have got over it fairly quickly. I see no reason why it would be different this time either. As has happened before, we'll no doubt get stronger because of it. Stones is a massive player for Everton but we'll go onto better things without him.

 

[arch stanton]

the only option is to play hard ball and keep him, otherwise it sends out signals to all the other young talent we have.
plenty of time left on his contract so no option for him to run it down and go on a free, he has to play well to attract the interest of other teams, he plays well, we sell for more (and not to Chelsea). If he goes, I'm ripping up my season ticket (only i've not had one for beards but the thought is there)

*John Terry sent off or was told to do something to get himself a red card. Then either Jose or Terry probably made a phone call or whatsapped Stones about how we (Chelsea) lack CBs now so we need you mate.*

*John Stones hands in a transfer request*

(lol)

 

[Joey66]

No statement over his transfer request this pm from RM or a member of the board our PR is a disgrace!

 

[Caolam]

I know a lot of people on here have an extremely low opinion of the Everton board and indeed the manager, but how can the board who made absolute statements on Stones future renege now. How can the manager stay in place after his declaration "we are not a selling club".
Part of me wants to believe the club will show some gumption and say he is not for sale, but a bigger part of me thinks they will take the money and blame he player for wanting away.

 

[just_COYB]

The price of every available crappy centre back just went through the roof.

We should never have sold Alcatraz.

You may have said this in jest, but it's not unbelievable.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Ryan Shawcross still available?

And still injured.

i'm not aresed about the silence tbh mate, i'd rather they said nothing but did the right thing. Wh knows what is going on behind the scenes. RM may be ringing around all the moneyed managers touting the lad or he may just know that he has the backing to keep him regardless. DO the right thing Everton ffs, it happened with Baines, do it again.

This.

We should never have sold Alcatraz.

We didn't sell him, we told him to bugger off.

 

[jinkyali]

I imagine the club will be in last ditch talks to try and change the kids mind, obviously if they really DONT want to sell him.

It has happened before.

 

[BoysInBlue]

Celtic have just been knocked out of the CL.

This might have a bearing on Stones if Van Dijk is now available for transfer.
