Murphy was crazy to join RS. Why did he do that then? Look yourself into the mirror Murphy.

We should get a plane to fly over Stamford Bridge

Saying

"EVERTON - NEA"

The cynic in me thinks the board may have played a masterstroke here. Get Stones to hand in request, reject it, look great, fans forget about lack of signings for a bit and window closes without any major signings. Also makes us look stronger in media.

I'm sorry but this is absolute tosh. I know BK is in the pantomime business but jesus wept.

It was a joke. My comedy needs to be more obvious it seems. Feel like Stewart lee on mock the week ffs.

You defo need to run thro your routine a few times before taking it to a live audience.. might save some tumble weed moments steve0 !!

*shakes head*

You know what is happening with Murphy.

His beloved RS couldn't stand up to Wee Reem, his agent and Citeh.

They will be fuming that we stood up to one of their hated "oil clubs".

@davek rightly thinks it possible.

You just can't rule it out with our board

Doesn't get more spot on than this.

Well that's actually what happened anyways. All Chelsea fans got painted with this brush by many.

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

I can understand the frustration but people need to realise that when any agent of Chelsea have spoken about Stones to the media, it's because the media asked a direct question about Stones. Same with Martinez talking about Lukaku when he was a CFC player. If anyone can point out to me of some sort of press release Chelsea have put out about stones, or any unprompted talk about Stones by Chelsea agents, then I will apologize for the actions of the club/club representative.

He is 21.

He is English, and

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

Is that enough for you?

Not for me, but I wouldn't pay these sums for Stones right now. Let's say he has a world class season, I don't see his value rising much from what it currently is. Too much for someone so unproven at this point in my opinion.

I would also rate Varane and Zouma ( partly why I'm not so fussed about Stones staying) as better prospects, off the top of my head, and if wanted a young English prospect, i think Dier offers better value for the money that would be expected (in I feel he is similar to Stones but with less mistakes and a far lower fee would be expected) but that's just my own personal opinion.

Fair play to Kenwright for standing firm. Never liked the idea of players forcing moves, clubs should always have the final decision, no questions asked.

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

 

[Steve0]

Crikey.

You can.

You can't be as commercially incompetent as our board and have super villainous schemes like that planned and executed to perfection.

Nice one mate. You managed to bait a load of people with this.

Mate. If you look back at some of the things that have gone on down the years you can.

There's a reason our fans spend more time worrying over a transfer window than looking at who we are signing.

Memories of selling the family silver.

That trauma never leaves you.

The Mirror is reporting the 4th Chelsea bid has been rejected.
