Rumoured John Stones

[kellzfresh 7,229]

He's playing his former team, of course he'll want to play.

We'll probably make the last bid after the game, or tomorrow

Isn't playing after handing in a transfer request counterproductive? It shows Everton that even though he really wants to leave he'll still play with no problem. Why wouldn't they then just refuse his request and make him stay?

If he's serious about leaving he'll tell Martinez that his head isn't right and he won't play to try to force a swift sale.

Would be funny if he picks up an injury tonight, instant kill to rumor lol unless we still plan to push for the move this window. But then he wouldn't be able to pass his medical.

Got to say i think Twitter is a bullshit factory. If they get it right they make loud i told you so claims. When they get it wrong the silence is deafening. I've looked at loads of sites and there's nothing new to report. Even if Stones does join us it's not exactly putting your reputation on the line. All this bloke @ Football Writer has done is send a speculative tweet.

ffs people really do think its fifa/ FM ....

Conspiracy theory: Stones feels terrible about the transfer request and now wants to stay. Everton tell him to go down with an injury which ends Chelsea's interest and he stays. He then gets a nice pay raise, continues playing brilliantly, and the Everton fans forgive him.

BREAKING NEWS : Juan Cuadrado's move to Juventus has broken down and he's to accept the role as Jermain Defoe's P.A. . Cuadrado said '' Getting paid 60,000 a year to stock someone's fridge and pick there suits is preferable to falling on my arse and looking like i've been shot like i did when i got tackled by a Stoke defender. Also rumours of Wayne Bridge to become John Terry's butler.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

And why u post this here?

Because i have a worse sense of direction then Cuadrado ha ha

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Someone I know who is going to the game reckons Stones will definitely play tonight.

i think he will too. He is contracted to anyway. The TR makes no difference. They could use the "unsettled" stuff but they used that and he played earlier in season. He seems a good pro, definitely not type to strike or refuse to play

John Stones involvement for #EFC at Barnsley tonight shouldn't really come as any surprise. Consummate professional regardless of his future

Pepe would spend more time banned than playing ... the guy is an animal

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Think IF he is coming then this is being done out of spite. Not that they wouldn't play him anyway but that's him out of one competition for us if he joins.

[Pizy 18,368]

Can't see a positive in him starting from our perspective.

[cadenza666 221]

ofcourse he'd want to play against his former side ! touching farewell haha

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Martinez is definitely going to say not for sale tonight and deny a TR, Or confirm they rejected it. Dont panic if so, playing the game, we know Stones' position

[Last Sicarius 610]

Lets make him goodbye and let him go to us as quickly as posible : D

he has not got a red card in 2 years (iirc) for RM playing 7406 minutes of football ,but dont let the facts distort your views. just let the media's potrayal of him as a wild animal help u make all the judgment.
