I wonder how many of the "bid preparation team" are working on that right now. Bet they needed to pop a pot of coffee on and pull an all nighter!

How so?

If he is to go then the more involved the better for us

Just read swansea have put a 25m price tag on Williams head......................... Stones is worth a whole lot more than that

haha what BS. "The Etihad club have held a long standing interest in Stones" - have they hell. have they even bought any young players in the hope of bringing them through in a few years time under the sheiks? they have a bottomless pit so don't really need to - this is the first time i bet they've ever been mentioned as interested.

Just read swansea have put a 25m price tag on Richards head......................... Stones is worth a whole lot more than that

£25m for jazz richards? they sold him to fulham i think.

I have said all along that I expect all the wealthy clubs have asked Everton to keep them "informed" of the Stones situation.
I don't believe City will bid. All they have to so is tell Everton they are interested in buying the player if he becomes available.
If Everton decided to sell , then all interested parties can get involved.

It is hard to see where Chelsea are going with all of this. The money they offered in the second bid is probably 10m less than the amount that would make Everton give serious consideration to a sale. At present they seem to be intent on trying to bully their way through to a purchase.

I think the statement from Everton yesterday was very well put. Short and very clear.
Another failed bid , another concise reply from Everton will start to make Chelsea look silly and desperate.

Dunno what you mean

Not sure I get you

chelsea don't expect to buy him this summer imo. they're just putting in bids to make it common knowledge so the media will never take the stories out of the limelight and hope that it'll turn the player's head.

these clubs need to be made aware of the sell on fee (hopefully we'll put one in as well) when bidding in the future btw.

have they even bought any young players in the hope of bringing them through in a few years time under the sheiks? they have a bottomless pit so don't really need to .

City have actually bought quite a few promising youngsters in the past few years from Portugal, France and Spain. And of course Patrick Roberts from Fulham and, ahem , Sterling , recently. They have literally spent hundreds of millions on their Academy with only Micah Richards coming through in recent years. Why would any youngster in English football go there with their success rate.? Hence to get their quota of English players they will always keep an eye on the availability of the likes of Stones and Ross.
