Rumoured John Stones

[Pizy 17,860]

He needs to do what Sterling did. Use his agent to cause chaos at Everton.

Again, Everton still wouldn't have to budge. Stones doesn't have the option that Sterling had if it came to it where he could just sit and wait out his contract. He has another 4 years.

All he can do now is beg, beg, beg.

The way Everton are acting, you'd think we want to skin the boy alive and then parade his skinned body at the Bridge......i can't see any logic in keeping an unhappy player, i do think Stones is being really mature and professional in these circumstances, however, maybe he will have to show the Sterling in him for this transfer to go through.
Also, i didn't read the whole thread in the last few hours, but just to give my opinion, another CB is a must this season. JT is 35 and GC is 30, Ivanovic is 32 and their performances have been shaky. Zouma and Stones could find themselves in the first XI sooner than they think.

He's essentially insinuating that we've tapped Stones up and caused him to hand in that transfer request. They'll now turn on the charm offensive and "support" him.

In the future he is going to do the same thing at Chelsea when he wants out, eh?

Stones has to behave, he wants the move, but he has to honor the contract, it's Evertons decision.

Juat came from my football match. So the latest are they will refuse his request. Fuck Martinez u cunt.

It like I was saying yesterday when the news broke forward that he handed in a transfer request. Everyone thought that was the move signed and sealed. It does not actually change much. Martinez would of known personally, when they rejected the bids that Stones would have probably wanted to leave. If he wanted to stay he would have come out and said it but he did not. Transfer request or not, they are going to play hardball. I just hope we don't lose our heads and pay £40m for him. I don't know why people thought it was going to be done and dusted. He has a contract till 2019 and the transfer request won't change much. Us paying over the odds will convince them into selling him.

Stones want transfer, we want, Everton want but Martinez not : D

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

A transfer request still has to be signed by the player. He signed in of his own accord. The guy wants to leave. He hasnt been forced or whatever martinez said

[Pizy 17,860]

He's been too nice and it'll most likely cost him his move here. If he really wanted out he should've refused to play and made his position untenable. By playing he has shown Everton that he's not that serious about leaving.

[RhesusReus 219]

I really dont care.

Worst case, we play a Mikel-Matic midfield and play on the counter. With Pedro, Hazard, and Willian, well rape most teams who arent top level posession teams.

Jose has to make a choice, Ivanovic and Terry or Cesc, because these three cant be on the pitch together.

[Last Sicarius 610]

Maybe he just want to play something when he is waiting to move? I dont get. It was so loud about this transfer for 10 days? And now he want to stay in Everton? C'mon. Lets get him and our defence like Zouma0Stones look great and prospectively. And Azpi-Baba(and Stones can play on RB). Its all looks good.

[zolayes 14,489]

I dont think losing him will cost us .. He has potential but so had Josh Nat and Gael

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Let's see how desperate he is to join then. He'll speak to martinez is my guess and either ask to leave again or back down

But the point is, Stones isn't exactly causing any fuss now. If he does what Sterling did, Everton would be forced to sell him because I doubt they would want an unhappy player disrupting the dressing room, regardless of that 4-year contract.

We won the league with those three on the pitch together

[Fernando 6,376]

Good let's move on.

People say how city is spending and we are not.

The thing is that the club wants to sell to them.

To us the two clubs don't want to sell, juventus and Everton.

I'm not exactly saying he should be like Sterling 100% but certainly cause a bit more fuss than what he's doing right now.

Hope you're right and he kicks up a fuss.
