I really don't see why we would need to sell Stones now or in the future. To be honest, Chelsea are not a bigger club, they may be considerably richer, but they never have been and never will be a bigger club. They will also never conduct themselves in the dignified manner that befits a big club such as ourselves.
John Stones is obviously happy here. He became a regular member of the England squad whilst an Everton player and will become a cornerstone of the England side if he remains an Everton player.
If the manager sees him as pivotal to his plans, then he must be allowed to stay regardless of the figures offered by Chelsea. Given the way that Chelsea have conducted themselves I feel that this has now become a matter of principle and unless the player requests a move then he should remain here. After all, there is no reason why he should not be able to fulfill his ambitions at his current " big club ".

Chelsea have luckily got an owner who has taken them into a new era of football where as money talks. When you say they are not a big club, I would say not a big history in terms of trophies but they are certainly a top club not only in England but in European football. Chelsea have also been challenging for major trophies over the last 15 years where as Everton have been happy to be a top ten team. So after saying that I would say Chelsea are a more attractive club for players who want to play at the highest level of club football with a very good chance of winning trophies. So in saying this you have to make your history somewhere and Chelsea are doing that now.

As much as it hurts to say where no were near a big club in this modern era, no champs league ever, 1 cup, tiny budget and a stadium well past its sell by date.
I don't get why poeple get so defensive when it comes to their own club, its better to be realistic than so irate, every players for sale every club will sell at the right price it happens with us an happens with non league teams right the way up 2 barca
