The club cannot control a transfer request. Stones on signing his recent was asked to be kept informed if a champions league club made an enquiry - which Everton did. The valuation is 34m but..Chelsea have played this badly by going through the press which has soured and be it hardened Martinez not to sell. Despite what many say this is far from a done deal and the statement will come again that he is not for sale. Chelsea have talked themselves in having to make a significant increase in the current offer to change the managers position. This is not kenwright but a Roberto decision,

Well, on that point, they seem to only need to bid an extra 4m to secure there man. Hardly a significant increase? Or is it going north of £34m?

John Stones is leaving because the club lack ambition.

I don't care how we dress it up that is the cold hard fact.

He's leaving because Chelsea are offering to pay him lots more money....they can do that because the have a billionaire owner....we simply can't compete with that (even if kenwright was replaced).....Liverpool couldn't compete with Man City and keep Sterling, that's football today, its a very unfair playing field....all we can hope to do is get the best deal possible and move on....

Had we spent £50m this summer on players, Stones would still want to leave as long as the Chelsea pay cheque is bigger....its a business and a job for these players, loyalty doesn't exist in football anymore (no club, no player)....
 
He's gone and done it, it would have been so refreshing had he just let the clubs fight it out, Martinez has this plan building a team from young players and Stones knows it. But there's no room for people to disrupt the plan, it's a set back and let's hope the next good player resist it. Stones has been advised by his agent as the agent wants his big pay day, time for him to go now, but make them pay very high.

John stones is worth more to everton on the pitch then the money in the bank. Let's face it Martinez wouldn't be given the full amount anyway. We are desperately short at centre half as it is. We should inform stones we are not in a position to sell him (we aren't) and that he should give us at least one more season. Stones can't really argue with that, his place in the England squad is at risk if he downs tools and refuses to play. Something I don't think he would do. Look how suaraz treated the RS that summer, he was told he wasn't going and rewarded them with his best ever season. Stones should do likewise.

Ferguson did similar with Ronaldo too. There seems to a recent current trend that where clubs make an agreement with a player that they can go with the club's blessing (and a decent transfer fee) if he stays for 1 more year and gives his all. This is where the manager comes in, because as Moyes Cardy says seems that it is he who will have the final say. It's still a possibility that he stays.

You know if I was a sociologist or whatever, this rewriting of history to collectively lessen the blow of Stones leaving is absolutely fascinating.
