http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/08/everton-should-stop-being-childish-and-let-john-stones-join-chelsea? Everton may remain intransigent about it all, but if they do, Chelsea will probably just buy a cheaper Spanish defender instead. But what if Stones remains unhappy? Or gets injured? Or rather simply fails to fulfill his potential? If any of those things happen, Everton won’t have to worry about how to reinvest £40million to make them better than they would have been. They’ll be facing an entirely new set of circumstances altogether, armed only with the memory of an supreme opportunity missed.
lol lol lol
Hmmmm.
Clearly it was a lie and the tweet was deleted.
CARRY ON
The Stones banner at Goodson had been taken down allegedly.What was it mate?

Oh come on mate, I'm sure we all know someone who's as thick at 60 as they were at 16!
he signed a contract with us though. him leaving at the demands of chelski would just recirculate the unspoken idea that contracts mean nothing. why even sign a contract if you can get swooped up by the big 4? if anything, this is a message to stones and players like him - you sign a contract, you should do your best to honor it. its a precedent that should be set to other players, so it's harder for people to just cry about it and leave. i hate that we're being crucified because we're not letting him go. that's the narrative that needs to be changed
From (THFC) experience (ie, Berbatov) if the player is going to go, EFC need to make sure they allow themselves plenty of time to buy a replacement. Otherwise you end up with a Frazer Campbell.
To be fair to us, we have appoached the Berahino thing in a totally professional manner. It has been WBA that has made every aspect of it public knowledge.
Our transfer MO is completely different since Redknapp & Sherwood left.
