John Stones transfer saga

Quote: "Sometimes money can't buy you everything"

Yes, in the case of Chelsea and its fan base, they are proving that money does not buy you class.

If he goes though it's both barrels mate

He won't be here to get both barrels, that's the genius of it.

It won't be. Stones has another year left with us, two at the most. Chelsea's willingness to part with 40 million will be like a beacon to a lot of other big clubs. Let's not kid ourselves, we can make him stay because there's a few years left on his contract, he won't be signing any new ones.

maybe but if he does go there next season I think they may send him out on loan. I think it is easy to forget how young he is and how easily things could go wrong. Barca would at least protect him and think about what they might have in a few years time

Drop a world class no.10 into the forward 4 of rom, ross, deulofeu and mirallas an we'll be fine.
Reading between the lines a 21 year old kid has been badly advised and his head must be all over the place.
Most important thing is as a club we support him get him through this difficult time and continue moving forward so we can achieve our goals together.

If we don't sell him and yet buy, there's going to be egg on a lot of faces.
Licking my chops. Bloodbath.

He will only be banned for a month.

My fume will last a lifetime.

After his comments tonight, which in fairness is a massive statement of intent going forward; if he is still sold now after those comments, you would have to believe that Martinez could resign. Listening to his comments and watching his facial expression tells you all you need to know about how Martinez views this whole saga. If he is still sold, it would obviously suggest that its been done behind his back. The domino effect this would create would be brutal. I truly hope those excellent words from Martinez tonight have have been spoken because everyone at Everton is 100% behind it.

thats exactly my thoughts too. but do you know what, it just wouldnt surprise me if he IS sold. would the board put the manager in that predicament tho? i guess were about to find out. the next week is going to be HUGE for Everton football club, the manager and the board.

I meant to say 2014 in the original post, but it worked out okay in the end.

 

[The Equaliser]

Encouraging words from Martinez.

It sounds like he is going to sit Stones down and talk him out of his TR and try to convince him that is future is here. It could all depend on how that goes.

Even if he does end up going that statement tonight might have added another £5m to the price.

Interesting few days ahead.

That is the best thing you have ever done mate.

Bravo.

Martinez is playing this as well as he can. I am impressed.

Can't wait to be 3-0 up at home to Chelsea in September and listening to Goodison singing:

"We don't care too much for money, cause money can't buy you Stones.... can't buy you stooo-oones, can't buy you stooo-oones"

 

[Khalekan]

I totally agree

If he went to Barcelona I think he would have the backing of the fan base


Chelsea was not the right club for him

Yip, we would.

I remember feeling chuffed at the thoughts of Real Madrid coming to us to buy Tommy Gravesen
