John Stones transfer saga

[Frank Gallagher]

cundy will be all over this tonight on talksport. he'll be saying it isnt over till 6pm tuesday, as he rubs his hands with joy. the cretin!

The bar has been set by the sale of David Luiz for £50 million,if they can sell at that price then they can buy at that price.

I'm all for Everton doing all they can to keep their player but this is a bit of a ridiculous comparison.

Aside from the fact that Luiz has more starts for the Brazil national team than Stones has for Everton's senior team, one has featured in the finals of, and won, the Champions League, the Europa League, numerous domestic cups and multiple league titles.... and the other has.....?

And Luiz was hugely over priced, so by comparing the two and saying this is why Stones' is worth it kind of undermines your valuation in my opinion.

I'd just say, if I was in your camp, he's 50million cause that's what he is worth to us and we got him on a contract with 4 years left. Simple, and how do you argue that?

Raises Hand.

I still think he'll sell him.

You are one of a kind, my friend.

Imagine the club have been locked in talks with Stones all day and reaffirmed the fact he isnt for sale to him and his agent.

Hopefully its accepted and we move on; hes a young kid who is badly advised and I dare say feels a range of emotions. Martinez, Jags, Barry etc will wrap him up in cotton wool these next few days and he will come back better and stronger.

Been worse than useless in all this. Reread his statement the other day: basically saying he has no feelings on the matter and Stones should be left alone and not swayed.

Another example of his disastrous captaincy.

.......I wonder if Barnsley will reconsider EFCs offer to buy the sell on clause for £3m. £3m in the bank now or gamble on a higher return in years to come - bit like cash out option offered by betting companies.

Mate. What Kenwright has said today (take it as you will) and Bobby yesterday

Is EXACTLY what theyd said in July.

Not for sale at any price.

Theyve said that to another club. Not just Chelsea.

That other club didn't go public as they understood what was communicated.

 

[davek]

Did our glorious leader mention anything about the missing transfer war chest or is that a bit too much for him?

It'd be nice to think we dont need the Stones cash to have a summer spend over and above £5M, but I doubt that's the case.

We have done what bigs clubs do

We simply don't sell our best players to a rival club

Stones is wanted by the morally corrupt Chelsea, I wouldn't sell them to him for 50 million but the appalling Luiz is a fair reference point

You have absolutely zero idea what he's saying to him behind closed doors though.

Nothing wrong with the captain making a neutral PUBLIC statement, to attempt to take a bit of the heat/pressure off his 21yr old team mate.

.....John Stones is 5/6 to be at Everton after the window closes and 6/4 to be at Chelsea.

He is 21.

He is English, and

He is brilliant - the best prospect in Europe in his position.

Is that enough for you?
