John Stones transfer saga

[AndyC]

The Echo are still going on about why we need to keep him, so they obviously haven't been briefed by the club to spin it any other way. We really need to hear an official comment on this today though.

No we do not !
This is all about brinksmanship and who flinches first.
Stones is contracted... He cannot go without our agreement.
We don't want to sell him.
We do not have to respond publicly.
We keep quiet.
Chelsea fume... Sky fume... The papers fume...
We keep quiet.
Jesse Mourinho fumes and cries to Roman to break the bank.
Roman rings BK, BK says Hi Roman, no deal, da svidanya.
We keep quiet and the clock ticks by.
The transfer window closes, job done.

It really is that phooking simple !!!

 

[Coffee and TV]

Why.

Well if the club don't say something today then Martinez will have to say something later when he's asked in interviews at tonights game.

 

[BoysInBlue]

Everton commented on the Franny Jeffers death hoax quicker than they have on the potential impending sale of one of their best players.

Everton That.

Well if the club don't say something today then Martinez will have to say something later when he's asked in interviews at tonights game.

And all he needs to say is... "No comment till Wednesday, next week !!"

That was a sick hoax as you called it.
This is serious, serious business and not to be taken lightly.
Cool heads and calm thinking are required, not knee jerk reactions.

I want Blockhead to be appointed CEO at Goodison.

 

[ijjysmith]

We do look a bit daft saying nothing.

But it's not exactly easy what to say. We could say it's been refused and look stupid when we sell him.

The silence says quite a lot.

This except for the last line. We're bound to sell. They need to make sure that they do it at the best price and with time to get a half decent replacement........

 

[Jxg]

If we sign Johnny Evans as Stones' replacement, that would be an absolute disgrace.

Especially if we spent the £10m+ that the papers are suggesting.

He already has,about three times he ain't for sale,now let them all build them selves up into a frenzy, he is an Everton player so F2 T

 

[AndyC]

I want Blockhead to be appointed CEO at Goodison.

And trust me Khal, I would do it, heart and soul !!!

 

[Phil Rodgers]

Gutted tbh. Was naive enough to think he'd actually stay (even if it was for just one more year). Modern football eh

Depressing

Ijjy, we don't look daft mate.
We are keeping our powder dry and should do nothing else until the window has closed.
Trust me, silence is golden in this situation !!

Not convinced mate. This is Everton, you know as well as me that they are bricking it inside.

 

[Jxg]

If Stones really has handed in a transfer request, I would hope that Martinez/Bill would realise they hold all the cards.

They should have phoned Chelsea up yesterday and told them "Stones has handed in a transfer request, he's on a 4 year contract, he's going to be the best English CB and one of the best in the world. All this and timing considered, you have until the end of the day to submit a £60m bid for him. Any less will be rejected and any later will not be considered as it will be too late to reinvest the money."


Oh who am I kidding, the board don't want to reinvest the money!
