reports are breaking john stones has handed in a transfer request to leave for chelsea
25 Aug 2015 17:37:26
Why would he? He's only 21, he's playing every week in a good team with good players around him, getting paid a good wage and not too far from home. Just a load of media ball ship IMO.

He has it's in the yellow bar on ssn

Do you still believe in santa bobbymartin? He will be forcinga move as the club are standing in his way of earning more money to sit in the bench. Fair play the way you assessed the situation but in modern day football none of that counts, his age irrelevant as he is already capped, his wage can be better, the players around him better and being closer to home he can just drive or get a train.

Quelle Suprise
It's our Business Model
25 Aug 2015 19:29:34
Nothing confirmed from the club yet?
And so he has handed in a request, they still need to match our valuation and it's a request not an ultimatum!
25 Aug 2015 19:52:56
Like the club talks to its fans, ST? More communication with a brick wall!
About Stones: Great player, but not overly arsed; its time the board show their intentions now though. Need to invest the money back in the club. Know they wont, but Bill's a blue so it's okay!

Do you blame him? He knows he isn't going to get CL football with us any time soon, or be challenging for the PL title, but we're not even showing any signs of progress or ambition. He knows he's in a good place and doesn't seem to be the type of lad to chase money, but we look like going backwards rather than forwards so how could you expect him to stay. When Stoke, Palace, Villa etc are all pushing on, there isn't a huge incentive to stay. Just my opinion.

35m and stones stays for the rest of this season on loan, or 30 m and zouma permanent. Plus Chelsea to pay Barnsley off aswell.
25 Aug 2015 20:23:42
The club are publishing reports about it on social media but nothing concrete from the club. Why would the club post stories such as "everton have bounced back from selling it's stars before" pic of Rooney and stones if it's a non story.
We have lost him I reckon
25 Aug 2015 20:33:40
If he wants to go, let him go but on our terms. Nothing less than 40M and only when we have a decent replacement. This is a huge week for our club, if we don't sign any "decent" players and I don't mean for the future, then I don't think there is any way back for Kenwright
25 Aug 2015 22:53:36
I actually rate zouma and I think they have a top drawer player on there hands he must feel bad at moment as he must think he has a chance of breaking into this Chelsea team, not now let's be fair if stones ain't going to play much it will make zouma 4th choice at best.
£38m + zouma and you have a deal all money up front
