EFC-Paul Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm with Pad on this he has to have Martinez nor the club have denied it which they would have in the first instance why would they willingly allow all this tension and unrest there's no gain to be had from it on their part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 We are serious. Yes they can make up stuff and do repeatedly. Everton bid for such and such, Rm "we never had interest never talked to them, no idea what they're talking about". Fuck me pad the rags do make shit up all the time. Just yesterday newty posted sky saying john stones the Chelsea striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 That's not a link mate. Where did you copy it from? The official Everton twitter account says, Roberto Martinez confirms he will reject John Stones's transfer request in the morning. 'Today was a match day, the game was more important' The second part of it is a direct quote, if he wasn't talking about the transfer request what was he talking about? If some junior in the communications department had fucked up it would have been removed. You're in cloud cuckoo land I'm afraid Matt.

I give up with this lets just see what happens eh. Naive? I'm not the one believing Twitter and the Mail! Again, I repeat for the umpteenth time: I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm saying there's nothing substantial to back up the claim. Not a single shred of audio or video evidence where Martinez has said he will "reject it in the morning", nor a single audio or video source of the thing even being mentioned at the beginning of the story. Show many any of that, and I'll stop arguing. Until then, I'll continue being "naive" by not trusting Murdochs media machine and be much happier than most doing so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I think any official response from Everton would just give the whole sorry saga fresh impetus. As frustrating as it is for us fans, I believe the club are handling the matter well by not getting engaged in a public war of words with Chelsea. That is exactly what Chelsea's spin team would want and they aren't getting it. Meanwhile, the clock ticks down to the end of the transfer window. Could be a very smart way to deal with the situation. Edited August 27, 2015 by rusty747 Matt and London Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Which interview. I've posted 2 and he's said nothing. Only "quotes" in the papers Show me where. Audio or video. I listened to Martinez interview on Talksport on the way home and he definately said he was asked if he understood why Stones had put in a transfer request and he said he fully understood and blamed it on the pressure being put on him from the medis circus He also said he was rejecting it in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a very smart way to deal with the situation. This. The club are in a very difficult position and they are trying to handle it the best way they can while managing games and working on transfer targets. I guess the problem lies in the fact that he said they would reject it in the morning and there hasn't been any official rejection other than the words from RM's interview which have been cut and pasted. For me there was also the dig at the 'authorities' that if they won't do anything then the club will take it upon themselves to protect him.

All the posters on ESPNfc who follow non-big4 clubs been talking about how proud they are of Everton, how it's about time someone gave the middle finger to the establishment and how we are building a nice young team to challenge them. Getting a lot of neutrals on our side with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets get this right Jason Cundy thinks that football contracts are something that should be rendered null and void on the say so of a player??? I'm sure Cundy would have supported a clubs decision to just not pay him when his knee injury ended his career? Contracts protect the club and the player. I hope Real come in for Hazzard and Courtois - lets see him then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyblue23 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I could give a fuck whether he put in a request at all or not. The important thing is that in response to a reporter's question, "That sounds like a definitive he's not going?" Martinez responded, "Absolutely." That's all that matters. Stones is not leaving this window and nothing else should matter. P.S. Can't find a way to link but the audio is on the official app for anyone to hear.
