Rumoured John Stones

[Billy. 2,739]

On a scale from 1-10, how likely are Atheltic to sell if we triggered Laporte's release clause? I hadn't watched him in a while so I hopped on to the old YouTube and watched his highlight from this past season. Fuck, he's good.

If we trigger it they dont get a say in if he stays or goes surly?

[iseah100 5,612]

can see them offloading him to Man U in the January window for less than we have offered this window. they part their cheeks for Man U but claim bullying when we make offers.

Pretty much this. Fucking cunts would probably sell them Barkley for £25m.

Javi Martinez paid his release clause in his day with the german money. You can't do nothing against that.

It will be the same scenario if Laporte wants the transfer.

Apparently there are some tax issue and stuff with release clauses in Spain so would be quite a bit more than 50m, maybe close to 60m and they don't negotiate at all ever.

Still up to the player in the end, isn't it. He can't be forced to leave if he doesn't agree to a move.

£37m (€50m) bid rejected. Everton insist he is not for sale. (Sun) #CFC #EFC

Getting ridiculous. Not worth anywhere near that. Time to move on CFC. Enjoy your broken player Everton. Hope you finish in the bottom 3. Wankers.

If this doesn't happen then Stones will simply kick sand over things and claim his head wasn't right. I just feel like Everton are doing this out of principle now instead of respecting the players wishes and taking the cash to simply move on. If this bid of 37M is correct it puts immense pressure on their board and manager no matter what has been said. This is serious pressure from us, and I still expect Everton to crumble, the amounts are just too much and their words seem more like lip service.

Hope Stones scores the winner for Spurs this weekend.

But only for spaniards clubs, right? Bayern didn't paid more in his day.

I don't know but it is definitely more complicated than just paying the release clause. However we also paid the clause for Costa didn't we so maybe you are right. Either way 50m for Laporte is fine too if we are willing to pay similar amount for Stones.

[Pizy 17,860]

Everton are fucking idiots for turning that down. They could buy 3/4 nice players with that money.

[The Mak 4,459]

The top comment in the Daily Mail article is bang on...

Having Stones in the Everton defence won't make all that much difference to their league position. Having 40 million to spend on new players would. I think Everton are cutting their nose off here to spite their face.

Also, Everton are basically valuing him as a 150k a week player, but probably pay him only 30-60k a week. How does that work then?

You dont seem to know how release clauses work.

Athletic cant do jack. Its then up to the player to agree to personal terms.

Laporte would probably agree to come.

jesus; i guess we move on to umititi

Uhh, that's what I said. Triggering the clause is one thing. If the player doesn't agree to come then it doesn't matter.

Yeah, with Ander happened the same. Athletic doesn't sell his players if they don't want.
