John Stones transfer saga

[royalbalou]

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

If Everton say a player under contract isn't leaving, which they now have...what can Chelsea do about it exactly?

Martinez is one seriously impressive man.

Dear Jose,

I'm going to let that little comment slide. This board is without a doubt the shadiest group of people to run a PL football club (with the possible exception of Chelsea's money).

This is exactly what the board would do and until fickle yes men like you see that, the board will continue to kill this club.

Wow our board are mental, making him put in a transfer request then rejecting it!!!! Kenwright out!!!

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.

Not that I'm condoning Lescott but he has won a league title and an fa cup

Keep whipping up media noise and getting his agent to make him do stupid things like put transfer requests in.

Absolutely nothing.

Great leadership from Martinez...hope the board support his stance or I fear we lose them both.

It was funny when he said Stones wasn't for sale, for a minute an image of BK saying "WTF!!!" popped into my head.

Would be Awesome

I'm serious mate, transfers are part & parcel of the game.But Chelsea have repeatedly illegaly tapped up Stones openly in the media and in the press
god knows what they were doing behind the scenes, the manager players ex players schoolteachers there is no level they wouldnt drop to...Charge them.

Hasn't Rodwell too?

 

[Jags..class]

Stones is ahead of his peers due to the fact he plays most games, at Chelsea he could end up on the bench and fall behind his peers. There is no rush to move unless your his agent looking for a payday

Such an elaborate plan!!

 

[Emily Porter]

Pretty sure Bill's sat at home crying at the fact we might have a positive spend again this window

Moron

Transfer request to be rejected.

What a man.. In Bobby we trust.. Class Act.

I just know, all the kopites on Facebook have just saved the part of the video were he says "Money can't buy you everything" and are then waiting to post a picture of Stones wearing his new chelsea shirt!

I will be the first to admit, I have been very critical of Martinez over footballing matters, tactics, signings etc. but never as a person.
However tonight I thought he handled the situation impeccably (unlike stones in the match). He spoke really well and I feel he has stuck not only 2 fingers up at stones' agent and Chelsea, but also to the top 4 cartel. Well done Roberto.

That sums up my feelings exactly. Brilliantly handled Bobby, the way he talked there made me proud that he's Everton's manager and I wanted him gone in the summer. The board have to back his stance now.
