Rumoured John Stones

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Maybe Martinez was unaware because Stones went straight to Kenwright to hand in the transfer request.

or he hasnt checked his emails!

Bit strange how no other outlets reported it last night though

RM says he is not aware of any transfer request made by John Stones

That is their official twitter so, if theyre reporting it as that then, ill take it

So José didn't deny that we're still after him. Quite the opposite in fact. The way I interpreted it was that as long as the window is open there's a chance. Also insinuated that they have an important game tomorrow and that talking about another teams player before that game wasn't a good idea.

Optimistic we'll get this done next week. His line about not letting an opportunity slip sounded encouraging.

He's not gonna hand in a transfer request before the Man City game. When the game is finished I would expect him to though.

I dont even think Stones will be the last. if we get him. based on that presser anyway

Double post. But did anyone get the impression Mourinho knew something in that presser. I may be wrong but when asked about Stones and refusing to comment, he then said some rumours are true and players can leave clubs when you think they dont look like doing so. Or something similar

I've been wondering how good this player, Funes Mori actually is. I know one Argentine who loves him like his big brother. I guess Everton have seen enough. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/aug/21/everton-ramiro-funes-mori-argentina

Just watched it and got the same impression. Something is rumbling under on this one.

Wouldn't you think that if Roberto was 1000% sure Stones did not hand in a transfer request he would just come out and say it instead of beating around the bush?

Before Pedro I was convinced he was staying at Everton, but now? It seems like Granovskaia is back in the driver's seat and she's taking no prisoners...

Your first line is right. He could have killed the story dead with a "no he has not handed one in" but hes now kept people wondering if he was bluffing by being less than convincing.

€55m = £39.6m

Brilliant article from Gary Neville and some fantastic points about a potential Terry/Stones mentorship.

By far the best and most knowledgeable pundit.

Chelsea will also try to convince Everton's center back John Stones and the expected offer is 55 million Euros. #CFC #EFC (via @sport)

John Stones is prepared to hand in a transfer request to force through his move to Chelsea. #CFC #EFC (Mail)

Stones is yet to hand in a transfer request, but will do so should the deal drag on into next week as #CFC prepare a bid of £35m (Mail) #EFC

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

hmmm i think my stance might be changing and Stones may infact hand a TR in

[Pizy 17,860]

First thing Monday morning that bid should go in. Seal it, give him a week to train, and throw him straight in for the next match.
