John Stones transfer saga

[Baines' left foot]

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.

Spot on.

It's us against the world FFS.

NEVER SURRENDER

 

[BoysInBlue]

Could someone also confirm to me, did we reject a Lescott transfer request and then sell him anyway?

Yes, we did.

However.... I do think this situation is different, due to the current climate. We'll know definitively in 5 days time.

 

[Kankurette]

Chelsea fans certainly seem to think Everton are getting ideas above their station. How dare we not know our place like a good little club.

 

[Jib in lad]

And that is the end of that.

Sniff it Chelsea.

 

[Baines' left foot]

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.

I think he's too good and too clever to let it affect his performances. If he's he's beyond Sept 2nd then I'd bank on him going to one of Barca, Real or Bayern for £50m+.

Chelsea fans weren't Chelsea fans 10 years ago.

 

[Axlswhk]

End of.

We'll let's see the reaction from mourinho press conference. If he comes out saying something negative about our handling of the transfer request and add in a bit of sour grapes comment then I'm convince stones will stay with us beyond September. If he continues to be subdue about it, then I believe negotiations are still going on behind the scene.

...but...but...all the other clubs got there's from Sky ages ago.

Maybe Everton's cheque was sent via a confused carrier pigeon?

 

[Steve0]

Board are a disgrace for turning down so much money for a player who still hasn't totally proven himself.

 

[Stocko3000]

Nice of the board to start stepping up and showing ambition!

 

[Matty_j1878]

Watch Hodgeson not pick him for England now.

Top playmakers cost a lot of money. We might be better off getting a young player in who got a lot of potential

any suggestions?

edit/ oops - thought this was the transfer thread not the John Stones thread

 

[Boss_Blue]

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

@davek

Eating humble pie here mate.
