Don't sell at all. If we're a big time club now, we should be selling that to Stones, telling him of the great players coming in, building a side AROUND him. If we're going to be as big as some claim, then he'd want to stay.

But then we can't really sign many players of quality which we need

Wouldn't wish him any injury mate..

I'd wish an on fire Lukaku to rag him everywhere at Goodison and him getting dragged off to a chorus on cheers however.

Be even funnier if Kone or Niasse were to run him ragged

And John Stones is one ace player.

And utterly brilliant for 2 and a half seasons.

I think 'utterly brilliant' is going a bit over the top, as usual.

In a perfect world yes, but seeing there are some requirements from the FA regarding that STCC thingy to be met, I'm afraid we don't have that much choice atm. Hopefully Stones will be the last player we have to sacrifice and in the future there will be other revenues available to meet those requirements. If we don't succeed in that, I do think we have a major problem regarding 'project' Everton

We cannot increase the wage bill by more that £7 million/year without a source of revenue to account for the increase in wages.

We cannot, without incurring penalties from the Premier League, have our cake and eat it too. This season.

He'd be one less to sign if we kept him.

Anyways he wants to move on which is fine by me, I'd rather we didn't hinder and got the best deal possible, as sad as it's makes me. I mean, who'd you rather work under, the Dutch Moyes or Pep? No brainer, he's not a Blue like us.

One of the best young talents we've had at the club for a long time, yet some are happy slagging him off, and saying we should get rid.

As per your comment before. Never a grey area of GOT, proper black and white. He's a quality player and you're a poor judge for failing to recognise that.

True. But ultimately you have to ask your self, though...who does it benefit if player cant be arsed to play for EFC.

Utter footballing lizards saying we won't miss him and he's dump because he's leaving us.

You're in an Egyptian river you tubes.

"Get rid he's crap anyway"

Understand that, I'm just saying Evertonians happy to move him on because he's overrated, poor, greedy etc etc are (something I can't post in Everton forum).

He will be a great player there is no doubt. Does things that you don't expect and will learn the right time to do such things.
If he wants to go then get good money and move on.
Sick and tired of all these players saying they want champions league, play better and it might happen!!

MAKE HIM LOVE US FINNERS.

That's what we should do. Put the suzzies on for him. Or spike his Gatorade and lock him 50 foot under Finch Farm until he gets the message.
