Im not sure where he said that, if it was in his post match presser I thought the official Twitter would tweet it. I thought Stones and Baba at first. If he wants Stones by Swansea, either the club are confident of getting him, or next bid will have to be close to the rumoured 34m ?

Baba plus a youth prospect? Or one last big push at Stones?

Was obviously a lack of sharpness. Some players have been with the squad 2-3 weeks. Just flown back from USA. By all accounts had a shorter pre season than many clubs. Today is nothing to get worked up over at all. Even if it is Arsenal.

Glorified Friendly. Regardless what Mourinho said he does not give a shit if he loses today. Albeit it was against Wenger, it is technically a glorified friendly for Charity. This game, apart from Wenger, meant as much to Mourinho as New York Red Bulls. Mark my words.

Thats a rubbish article. The stuff about having our own rules is exactly what he said before the 2nd bid. It is most likely a hint to Everton and/or Stones. He is obviously the clubs main priority for defence, I'd expect us to maybe walk away if a bid of 30-32m is knocked back To think in another option re.a players value could easily be moving onto a different target, but unlikely given how much we obviously want him. It could also be an option of cash plus player. I wouldnt read too much into those quotes

Rubbish. You cant possibly know that. Who is to say Filipe Luis didn't ask to leave? Didn't want to stay

Thats more or less a given. His agent is basically saying Baba wants to join, just waiting on Augsburg to accept

The express managed to turn that one sentence in to an article about Jose ruling out a 3rd bid for Stones. Not once did he rule it out, he simply changed his tact on speaking about him after it annoyed Everton while in USA

Please dont tell me you have included Jake Clarke Salter in that list. As if he ever had a chance here. Fact is if Jose thought any of those were ready, they wouldnt be loaned out. Only ones with a chance, albeit however slim, are Kalas and Zouma (who will have a major role to play within 2 years IMO)

Wonder if that fucker had the same thing to say about 500k Sterling who 3 or so years later went for almost £50m

£11m for Luis, £18m for Baba. So effectively he cost £7m. That's not too bad

I never thought of it like that. Fuck

They owe us money for Lukaku, roughly 9m i believe? Maybe more. Simple. £30m. We will wipe away £9m worth of the outstanding fee

1. When peolpe compare it to David Luiz it grinds my gears. Because it is not us who valued Luiz at £40m it is PSG, a player is worth what the buying club pay. Secondly although he is not a better Centre back, he is a better footballer than Stones and his CV isn't too shabby. I would bet very good money if Barcelona got offered Luiz or Stones both at £30m tomorrow... theyd pick Luiz. 2. Almost every outlet is reporting £30m will seal the deal, why are they so sure? Briefed by Everton or Stones' people?

Tosh. Of course he is for sale, everyplayer is. Do I really think a top Everton official has contacted SSN to tell them that? No. Why wait until the second bid to do so? Too much conjecture in that story, "apparently" "SSN understands...". Everton can end this quickly, just issue a statement on your website with Mourinhos words about not selling whatever we bid. (i dont believe that, but mourinho said if they do, we walk away"

was always going to be. 3rd bid will be the real tester. Whether we go to 30 or not.

Third bid expected Telegraph say

More sources will report a rejected bid soon if this is true

26 will get rejected. I'd imagine our final bid will be 30-32

Mail Mirror and telegraph all running it. So either a copy and paste job, or theyve been briefed out in USA

Martinez declined to talk about stones in his post match interview saying the situation has not changed

I think there will be further arrivals.

This one seems like it is going to go right to deadline day. Which would be a bad move, no one will want to cave in

That account annoys me for some reason. he finds every excuse in the book when our youth have a bad game.

Bad move. Theyll reject it as it leaves them without a replacement
