Afraid RM walked straight into press trap over stones.
'He wouldn't be allowed to leave' comment has brought this mornings, 'Stones to appeal to Kenright' crap.
Expect exclusive tomorrow, 'Stones was
held captive in Dingle flat and forced at gun point to play against City.

What he said was he hasn't handed in the reported transfer request and even if he did we still would t sell him. I have a go at Martinez somwtimes but I think he the club and stones have been brilliant about this whole thing

Have to agree to disagree Kingy.
The comment 'hints' that we would try to force a player to stay and no club can do that.
Media jackals love those scraps!0

A player's contract should be binding if committed to long term. Should be managers call if he wants to sell within that time not the players decision.

Clubs can force them to stay it's having the balls to do it remember when Suarez wanted to go to arsenal and even branded Rodgers a liar! They said your tough shit your staying and he was the best player in Europe that season (as much as it hurts me to admit it)

Kenwright and Martinez took a lot of stick lately, the majority of it justified. However, they have stood firm over the Stones situation first saying he's not for sale and then by saying even if he hands in transfer request he's not for sale. Yet still they get stick over it.

Why can't we force him to stay, he's under a lengthy contract with us. Maybe it's about time clubs start standing up to players (more so their agents) by saying you have a legal binding contract with us and we don't want to sell you. Clubs need to take some of the power back at the end of the day their paying the wages not the agent.

This isn't a go at Stones as we don't know his stance on the matter and he has carried on in a professional manner for us, unlike others in the past.

I really hope we keep hold of him to one as he's a great player and future player and two because it's about time clubs stand firm against the so called bigger clubs (I call them richer not bigger) and stop them cherry picking the youngest we develop and give a chance on the big stage.

Kingy and Kipper both spot on
