John Stones transfer saga

[SunKing]

It is top work from Bobby however I can't help but feel it will still end up a right messy affair.

Heartening in this day and age to see the Everton manager come out and say 'money isn't everything' - frikkin' beautiful. Sky/BBC/modern football will all be like "........what?!!!!...."

Beautiful.

Yes indeed. Made my week.

Martinez on a one man mission against the kopite infested southern based sky bankrolled media. Martinez bringing down modern football.

Admire Martinez words but come on, let's not be naive here

played a blinder there Bobby with that interview. made it plain his stance, over to the board to back him, if stones goes they cant hide behind him, gone up a notch in my eyes tonight, now just needs to open them up to the two goalkeeper that we have.

'In life and in football sometimes money can't buy you everything.'
Roberto played a blinder there.
Lovely.

The tears of Chelsea fans have broken Twitter on my phone.

You're staying John. So get used to it. Stay where you are loved.

Lescott left us for 'a bigger team'. Now he plays for West Brom and isn't anywhere near the England squad, whereas Jagielka is still an England regular and the club captain.

I think maybe his reference to the authorities was about keeping the transfer window open after the season starts. But I guess he could have meant the blatant tapping up from Chelsea.

Still fear an arteta style deadline day scenario.

One in the eye for people on here saying Kenwright is behind the Stones transfer request, well done blue Bill.

I think we're going to hold onto Stones. The board are receiving money a plenty from various streams (the tv deal being the big one), so they're not desperate for a return on their investments, they're already making money from everton! I believe Kenwright loves the club and isn't wanting to just cash in on stones in the remaining few days and not spend a penny as some have suggested. He also wants Everton to become a great successful club again, just like Martinez. In order to do that, they know they have to hold onto their prized assets. We're not in a position were we need to sell, just like they've said from the start, I'm starting to believe they're going to keep to their word.

 

[Jib in lad]

Well in Bob.

Dear Chelsea,

Kindly do one,

Up yours, GOT xxxx

The interesting part of the interview for me was the pause, just before he said 'Money can't always buy you everything'
Every good speaker will know how to deliver a pivotal part of a message, and RM didn't let anybody down in his delivery.
Also I was very impressed in how he talked about the circus of the window, and how he will look after Stones. I am sure there have been many conversations with the manager and player, and it appears to me that Stones may well of been badly advised and has made a very rash decision.
Hopefully this is the end of it all now, and we can get on with the season
It may work out that tonight's result and statement will give the team the impetus to go on and deliver a good season....here's wishing
