Question for John Stones.
Where were Chelsea when Everton apparently beat amongst others, Everton to sign you?
You were overjoyed to sign on the dotted line of your contract John to come and play football at one of the biggest Clubs in England.You have also very recently been rewarded by the Club with a new 5 year contract, which, once again you very willingly signed.
Do some research on Everton Football Club John and you will very quickly realise that Everton FB is a much bigger Club than Chelsea FC. Chelsea were an average Club before Abramovitch came on board, & their history is dwarfed by that of Everton.
You clearly want to play in the Champions League.so do 40,000 Everton Fans!
You clearly want to win trophys. so do 40,000 Everton Fans.
The grass isn't always greener on the other side John, so stay here at Everton help Martinez build a side strong enough to challenge for those Trophys along with Ross Barkley, James McCarthy, Seamus Coleman, Romelu Lukaku, Tom Cleverly & all the other lads who want to wear the famous Blue Shirt.The Everton fans have taken you to their hearts and fully realise that you undoubtedly have the potential to become one of the best ever defenders this country has produced. A "Rolls Royce" defender is how I have read you have been described. Please put all this upset behind you & do what you do best. Help put our great Club back up there where it truly belongs. winning titles etc. It's not always all about money!!

good post although martinez has had his critics for me he deserves a lot of credit in keeping this team together garbutt mirallas barkley mccarthy coleman stones fully down to him i'm sure with these players and others the future looks bright to me still hopeful of yarmolenko surely they will not let him run down his contract exciting few days ahead love it:)

I totally disagree with the thought that a 21 year old who threw all his life being alive Everton have won 1 cup and made 1 final, most current players on the market won't even be aware we have won anything, were not playing in the 80s were here now and were miles away from getting any were near were we used be, we don't win anything these days whys a kid from Barnsley going to care we won a cup in the 30s

Yea I agree a lot of people said there was a lot of problems in the camp with certain players and that Martinez could not control it, we'll obviously it was wrong as he has manage to keep players and tie them down to long contracts so players must believe it what he and Everton fc are doing not being funny but Mirralas, McCarthy and others could leave to go and play champions league football if they wanted, the thing is we all want the same thing for Everton, we keep saying the board have to go, but we all know that's only going to happen if serious takeover happens that give us financial backing to match the so called big clubs but that's not just chucking money around like they do, I mean our brand needs to be marketed better and that comes with success, but we need to keep our DNA you see with Everton now although I never liked them they did things right on and off the pitch yes the payed big money for players but always blended it with youth products they sold there soul and now look at them chucking money at anything and any big name that comes up, I remember Ferguson calling some team noisy neighbours for throwing money around trying to buy title, I don't want that, I like the fact we don't do things to gain attention with media and that we deal with issues in house, like now with the Gibson incident considering it was in papers the club seem to be keeping a lid on that, now if that was any top 4 side media be having a field day, mind you stones probably done him a favour there by his media circus. I want investment as much as anyone but only if it takes us to another level, mind you if there is any rich sheik out there who seen how we handled the stones deal we have just sent out a massive statement about football and the integrity of the game first club to stand up and not get bullied into selling one of our best players this is a significant step I believe with all the money coming in the next 2 years make every club stronger for sure but it makes clubs now like us and west brom able to turn down big money bids would never of happend few years ago if west brom were offered 20m they would bite your hand off no need to sell just to balance the books they can sell on there terms now, people say money ruins football it doesn't it's getting stronger clubs are growing more money is coming into the game more billionaires want in as it's the place to be they will buy clubs to compete and I predict in 5-10 years time you will have 5 or 6 teams that will be contesting for title a financial expert recently has claimed that over the next decade maybe less 3 or 4 multi billionaires will buy premiership clubs he went on to say that over last 6 months he has heard in the financial world of the wealthiest that they are itching to buy clubs and have been for long time but explaines it's all about business timing and now that deal involving premier league with overseas payment on its way football is going to explode, I wish I could remember what magazine it was in as read while waiting at dentist , it was great read from someone who is not interested in football but financial insight, there is hope after reading it
