So he spits his dummy out the pram big deal - put him in the under 21s for a month and let Browning develop!

The way this is viewed by fans should be determined by how the club respond, hopefully today. If the transfer request is accepted then he has obviously had encouragement from the club to put it in and all the bluster about him not being for sale can be put in the bin. If the club turn down his request like Martinez said would happen then it all falls on the player as he's done nothing except ignore Martinez and unsettled things at the club.
I think the request will be accepted and he'll be sold. I also think that for all the wringing of hands by the club they'll be made up that they've got a massive windfall. We'll see though.

this could be one thing he really hasnt been thinking straight about. There are good connections between the club and Barca. For a big club they do have a more settled environment and sign players because they know what they need from them. This is quite possible a lot less likely to happen with a Chelsea move.

This is an interesting new development, and a difficult one for us. I don't think it is as big as is being made out though. Stones by all accounts expressed his desire to leave a couple of weeks ago. It has not just come out that he has made that official. There is every chance that Kenwright and the board have said if he wants to leave he needs to make it clear in writing, this foregoing some of the loyalty payments.
As regards Chelsea, there is a notion from all that we will definitely sell now, for whatever the price. We should hold firm on this. Liverpool didn't budge when Sterling put in a transfer request and messed about far more than Stones has done. He also had only 2 years on his contract not the 4 Stones did. Stones has made his bed now in saying he wants to leave. It would be reasonable to assume we would look to facilitate that, but only if our price is matched. We can all speculate what that price would be, but we can still set a price and let Stones know he will be sold pending Chelsea meeting our valuation.
As others have stated I think this should increase as we get closer to the transfer window. I think it should be a minimum of 40 million we look for, and this should become closer to 50 million if it comes to deadline day. Clearly Chelsea think we are going to blink and bottle it now he's said he wants to go.
IF we don't sell him he's not going to stop playing. It is Euro championships year and I'm sure he'll be committed.
As for Stones, it's a disappointing turn though I'm hardly surprised. He will treble his wages at Chelsea, and I can't see us being happy to pay him 100k per week, nor would we want too. I appreciate the fact he has continued to play for us and not thrown a tantrum ah la De Gea and Sterling.

It just says Chelsea are rich...something we kinda knew already.
The bit about training facilities btw is absolute tosh as Finch Farm is up there with the very best
He should be dropped as WBA have done, as soon as he made noises he wanted to go to spurs!

Good luck? Why? All I know is that he f our beloved club up now. If he wanna f off he should have done it in July not seven days before the window, the unfaithful judas.

If he felt this way, then why did he sign a five year contract with Everton last year?

Yes mate, think we can forget about Hibbert,see him at match on Sunday his foot/ankle was wrapped up like a sceptic toe,would require an operation to remove the dressings.

I'm just determined to not let it ruin my week mate.
If we supported a club with genuine ambition at board level, we would never even be having the chat.
So its a loyal fan in the stands fault now for goodness sake!
We should have given chelsea or any other team a deadline.just say 40 mil by the 1/8/15 or no sale. i dont think it would be a bad think selling him, for 30-40 milif it was planned and in our hands, however leaving it this late and recieving a transfer request of stones will cause massive disruptions and may lead to panic buying
Agreed.
Far too many people on here directing their empathy at Stones when there is only one thing which should be of concern to us.....Everton F.C.
I wish Stones no ill but I sincerely hope he fails to live up to his potential and takes the Lescott Road to anonymity over the next five years.
