John Stones transfer saga

[davek]

Just get it done and lets buy some players.

My only concern on this, tbh.

The issues are the same now as they were then: a selling club looking to pay down debt.

With the Rooney deal there was the loan repayment hanging over the club; with Stones there's been a decision to pay down debt with the tv revenues so a sell to buy summer in the transfer market is necessary.

It's groundhog day.

Yeah. I meant the stuff behind the scenes though. That, at least, or for now, seems to be absent in this one. Like you say, lets see on 1st Sept.

As soon as it looks like Ramos is staying the papers link him to man u. Just putting two and two together, so lazy.

I expect our board to take the £30m and run.

 

[toffeestillidie]

Yep. ' We signed young players to long term deals and kept the spine of the team intact '.

Keeping the likes of Stones this summer will be celebrated as a ' Its like a new signing '.

Well holding on to promising youngsters is undoubtedly a sign of ambitions. If we keep Stones and bring in CB cover and maybe one more Winger on loan, I'll be perfectly satisfied.

There really is no need for a Victor Moses fume.

We negotiated the best deal we could for a player we were willing to lose. What's wrong with that?

Absolutely nothing.

As quoted earlier this week - Everton are playing hardball with Chelsea but if the 34m is hit then the board will accept and stones will go.

I'd prefer to keep Stones, but it looks remote - regardless of the noises from EFC (which are merely designed to get more cash as we all know). If keeping Stones means we go with what we have though (which it will) I'd sell him in a shot at £30M.

Two Bids, two knock backs..Calm down all.

You heard the saying third time lucky?

You're on the low side D-Man.

Like I said. I wouldn't sell for less than £50million. Simple as.

Then we'd have no transfer money this summer, because he's not going to fetch more than circa £35M.

I would like to keep him this summer, more of a "do one Chelsea" if I am honest mate. Get a bundle next year. But I cannot believe that we have nothing to spend unless he goes now.

But then again.....*sigh*

How can you possibly say that though when its clear as day what our problems are as a team. There is literally no cover in key positions and a bad injury or two to any of those in key positions see's our season flushed down the pan. Niggling injuries is what our team has become and what is ultimately always what keeps us from ploughing across the line. We are woefully short up top and teetering on the edge in the creativity department.

How you can say that you'd be satisified with what you've wrote above ?
