John Stones transfer saga

Jamiednm · August 27, 2015

We haven't had a statement about this from Everton in the last 20 minutes! Disgrace of a club!

Why it's from Golborne, I don't know. Unless Leon Osman controls the Twitter account.

Typical of Osman that, the little kopite.

This sets out a warning to all our other players and their money grabbing agents who are on long term deals (Lukaku). If we want you to stay you'll be staying until we say otherwise.

Don't even bother with a transfer request!

Actually the message it sends is in all probability that anyone signing with Everton or current players who are extending contracts need to insert a release clause and fee.

Respect to the club on this one.

Wow, bold statement from BK. Stones won't be sold then.

I have some spanners to throw in.

1 - Is it good to have a player who doesn't really want to be here?

And

2 - This is a great success. But it better not be instead of new players.

1 - Yes because if he really wants his move then he'll strive to be as good as possible.
2 - Damn right!

This.

When did it become acceptable to just retain what you have rather than improve upon it?

Standing still will not move you up the table. I bet Kenwright feels like he is on cloud 9 here. This window has been a disgrace by the board and we cannot afford many more of these.

When clubs like Crystal Palace and Stoke are outspending you in the transfer market after finishing above us, you know we're in trouble.

Progress, not stagnation.

Stoke have a lower net spend than Everton in this window. You should always take into account the smoke and mirrors. In fact, Spurs have a negative net spend. Most of the net spend is by three clubs...City, United and maybe Chelsea. The RS have spent the Sterlimng money plus a little bit more.

Danny Murphy reckons Everton are crazy, for not selling John Stones. Just do one.

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

Bill waiting fo 15/8 before he lumps on........

The least he could do after the sale of Rooney.

I for one would not accept another event of that magnitude.

May as well give up football all together

Yes, but where's the transfer money coming from?

not a clue Dave, but I'll worry about that if we don't spend any by next week. Until then, I'm happily wallowing in the thought of John Stones gracing Goodison in an Everton shirt for a while yet.

The club have refused to buckle to what can only be described as a national campaign to shift Stones to Chelsea. For this they deserve applauding.

I refuse to use it as yet another stick to beat them with. Fair praise where it's due.

Then we probably wouldn't sign them.

oldblue · August 27, 2015

if nothing else this has added some extra spice to the season and I am gonna really enjoy anyone putting Chelsea in their place this season.
