Didn't call you a kopite, so settle down, you just don't feel as passionately about Everton as John Stones, that's no bother, some people get it more than others who are here because of Tim Cahill.

I was with John Stones 100% mate. I thought he had bought in and "got it". Understood what Everton and his Manager in particular is building.
Do you naively then think 1 week before the window closes and he blindsides his Manager, his teammates , his fans, his club, that it was his agent ill advising him?

And that makes John Stones is more passionate about Everton than me?

Won't even touch your condescending Tim Cahill comment. You have a problem with my posting style then feel free to press the ignore button.

John Stones may stay for another season at best, but his action the last week proves he doesn't "understand" or "get it" and I will still be supporting the club I love with a passion for the last 3 decades as John Stns counts his Russian millions at that muppet club in 12 months time.

Arteta asked to go after hearing of the Arsenal bid after Everton had I initially rejected, as reported by the BBC, the only organisation worth listening to.

He was sold to pay the banks off, it was admitted a few years ago

I think there's a lot you don't get to be honest, but hey I'd be happier with John Stones here after all of this debacle than without him.

You'll have him for 12 months. Enjoy.

He just has his every move at work watched by 40,000 very fickle people and analysed in the national press afterwards.

Yeah?

i bet you would swap your life for his in a New York minute.

We've got him as long as the board stand firm until his contract is up.

Let's hope that is ages!

I think you'll find Arteta said, after leaving, something along the lines of "the club needed the money from the transfer and Arsenal were in the Champions League".

Sure, he was getting CL football, but he was told that he was going on the last day of the window.

I think it was Barnsley fans just chanting Jose Mourinho to wind Stones/us up

Was Stones booed at all at the match? I think I heard some booing. From Barnsley fans?

A bit from a minority of our fans in the first half, but that was pretty much drowned out by a slightly larger minority clapping every touch he made.
I can understand why people booed him. Personally, if he turns out for Chelsea in a couple of weeks as a result of putting in a transfer request then I'm up for booing him then, but not while he's wearing the Royal Blue.

While he's playing for us, I want him to play to the best of his ability. If he was turning out for Chelsea against us then I reckon booing him would be fair game, not necessarily because he deserves it, but because he'd be playing for someone else and booing him might get under his skin and put him off his game a la Arteta.
