Interesting logic as to why we'd pay him double his current weekly wage just to let him leave in January at the same fee they claim we've already turned down.

Yeah makes no sense. If he wants that "buy out" put in the contract that is bad for Everton, if we accept to ourselves we are going to sell him at some point i still think we can get more for him post TV deal, so best for Everton to not do a new contract and sell him for more next summer. His value wont go down, either way we will lose him, need to do whats best for Everton and not make it easy for Chelsea and not spend more on wages for a player who is only going to go.
 
He's got, what, four years (maybe three) left on his contract? He's an England international who will only get better. No-brainer. The queue starts at 50 million.
 
so jarg...says 4 bids when Martinez confirmed only 3, then conveniently Stones desired released clause is an amount that's already been rejected
 
As I said earlier in the thread I don't believe Chelsea ever offered the sums being put out there and if you work on the basis of that being correct then setting a fee of £37 million makes a bit more sense as opposed to taking the view it's the same amount already offered and scratching your head as to the logic of such a sum being the buy out

The offer of a new contract is the obvious response . If he signs it he will be gone, if he doesn't he will be gone. The bigger wages will in effect be his reward for playing for an extra season or part thereof
 
Whatever we do we can't allow him to go in January.

I don't think we can put in a release clause with the Euros coming up. If he performs brilliantly from now till then and then has a good tournament the fee could look like a pittance.

A personal guarantee from Martinez that we won't hold on to him at all costs next summer and a pay rise is about all we can offer him at this stage.
 
I think we can see the agent at work again.
As much as we didn't like it the information going to the media from the non-Everton side was usually quite accurate.
The media were getting information from Everton but chose not to believe it. In their minds "not for sale " was code for " for sale", but they were taking their lead from the information being supplied to them either by Chelsea or the agent.

Only a week has passed since the close of the window, John Stones still has a four year contract left. Everton will offer a better deal and there may well be a buyout clause , but Everton can control that clause. Apparently John Stones earns about 30k per week , that would easily double with a new contract. That is a minimum of 6m over the next four years and any agreement will be set up over a four year period.
