John Stones transfer saga

[Joey66]

H

Over 300 pages in a week. My money's on a thousand pages in a month if he gets sold

If he gets sold wait for the "Where's the John stones money gone Bill!lol

 

[Goodison87]

Obviously want the lad to stay but I think it's just a question of are they willing to pay now the 40 mill or so that chelsea know will get for him in a year or so ? As usual with these situations, I find it hard to see how we lose...

 

[Ring master]

Think he will stay no problem,but expect chelsea to come back in on transfer deadline day,in the last hour or so,and have sky saying we are selling etc,etc,the usual rubbish

I rememember the days when John Ebbrell was burdened with the tag "future captain of Everton and England".....

Is this type of hyperbole unique to Evertonians?

I can't recall the fans of any other club annointing one of their young playes with such grandiosity.

Course they do, that's what a good youth system is all about.

I can't recall seeing a better young centre back...

It's a "Merseyside" thing.

That's because some of them are trying to buy Everton's young players with the logic 'he could be future Chelsea and England captain'. Weren't the United fans calling Phil Jones the next Duncan Edwards?

Not to my knowledge.

And any that did would surely gave been put in their place by the vast majority of their fellow fans

Yes, I didn't like to say that......our friends across the park are much given to such flights of fancy

 

[roydo]

The Captain shouts intrigue me. Like, no one knows if he is Captain material, or even if he is arsed about being one.

Cracking player/prospect mind.

No mate, it was the next Stan Laurel.

You didn't see Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell or Ledley King, to name but three from recent years, as emerging talents then

Then your knowledge is lacking

Correct, Roydo...

So you say.

But very few United fans would have referred to Phil Jones thus.
