Yep, as Brendan said, it's easy to defend. Hey, how was Liverpools defensive record by the way? Yet if this is about Stones, a 40 million player shouldn't be needing youth development.

I'd cite Varane before Matic. Benfica turned him from a 3 million to a 21 million player, from a play maker to one of Europe's best holding / defensive midfielders. Not Mourinho.

In terms of who and why Say Chelsea leaks it: they can turn the players head by letting him know their is interest and hopefully get him to submit a TR, but a TR is easily rejected and it also opens the door to MUFC placing bids because they need a CB even worse, have equal or more funding and...

I agree they are very different situations but they are similar in that the media dictates the conversation. Clubs and managers obviously have influence but they tend to only answer the questions put in front of them. I also say this because Chelsea have made a very clear MO as of late of...

I can not fathom why CFC would rather spend 40million on Stones when they could give Kalas another chance after he impressed so well with the one chance he was given.

If I have to apologize for every Mourinho deception/contradiction he puts out into the media, my fingers will snap off.

Thanks to you lot in turn for the civility too.

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

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...

So Stones handing in a transfer request and wanting to play for another club isn't a problem for EFC? I would wager it is, and that said actions are probably partly driven by feeling of being held to a sub-standard contract in the context of how the organization value him when speaking to the...

Men have typically liked some strange every now and then. I wonder how much of those failures are a result of external factors such as social pressure ( a huge human motivator ) as opposed to internal factors within the relationships. Traditional marriage is at about 50% failure /success...

30 million can not improve upon a player who was bought a few seasons ago for 3million? I don't follow that logic. I'd demand Kalas plus 30-35million from Chelsea. He got a chance against Liverpool when they had Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling at the height of their powers and shut them out...

We do when drinking milk and presented with something unexpectedly hilarious. My point is that EFC are portraying Stones as the type of player who would be earning over 100k if he played at certain other clubs, yet he is only on 30k a week. EFC are portraying Stones as a top level talent, the...

12 months ago people would of snorted milk out their nose at the talk of Stones going for the money that's currently being talked about.

Why haven't the Everton board signed this kid up to a better deal ages ago? I mean, you can't talk nonstop about how great a talent he is, how he's worth 50million etc and then expect the kid not to have his head turned by a more ambitious club, when you have him on 30k a week. This is huge...
