chicagoblue Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 From Sky BREAKING NEWS Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has released a statement saying defender John Stones is not for sale and the club have turned down his transfer request. The 21-year-old has been the subject of three bids from Chelsea, but, in a short statement, Kenwright has said: "Everton Football Club has rejected a transfer request from John Stones. "Since the start of the transfer window, we have resolutely turned down offers from another Premier League football club for our player. "John is not for sale and he will remain a highly valued member of our first team squad." Romey 1878 and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gethinO Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Still doesn't make up for the fact that it's 27th of August and he's given our manager pittens again to spend and strengthen the squad. First time he's said a word this summer. Keeping Stones is huge but what he needs to do is back our manager with funds so we can build a team around him.

Guest rusty747 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 We need a little less sentiment and a bit more business savvy thinking now. We def need more bodies before the close of the window and I think it might be time to have a conversation with Hibbo, Ossie, Peanuts and Aiden and offer them a way out in January. First three are now too old and Aiden has had chance after chance but just isn't ever going to be good enough I'm afraid to say. Get them off the wage bill and it should cover Yarmolenko's salary plus an increase for Stones. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibbo needs a coaching contract, should be kept around. The other 2, as good as Pienaar was and the potential of AG, cost too much. Throw in Gibson and you've got 140k a week (7m a year) off the wage bill - for a "double your money" contract for Stones (30k extra) 80k for AY (if we get him) and 30-40k for the new CB, whoever that may be.

Works for me. If Hibbo would accept a coaching job rather than extend his playing days by moving on and Ossie accepts the occasional game coming on from the bench.

Think Ossie already accepts it to be honest, no way is he getting ahead of TC now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Pleased. Really pleased with this short but sweet statement. I guess the TV money coming in also means that clubs don't have to give in to the usual clubs. Which is great for football. Now we just need Stones to get his head down and work hard. But we have to be honest, if we don't do brilliantly this year, we have to accept that these sort of players will want to go. There's only so many times you can sell 'the future' in the present. This season is going to be massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is going to be massive. Totally agree. That's why, imho, we need a marquee signing. Yarmolenko would be perfect. It makes a statement that we are looking forwards and not over our shoulder and will give belief and encouragement to the wealth of young talent that continues to be produced and nurtured at Finch Farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBlue Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 When I first learnt that we were speaking to Barnsley about buying out the option I thought it was crazy but I guess the logical thought is that we are trying to be buy it out as part of a new contract for John.

markjazzbassist Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I admit I was wrong. I said he would be gone and the board didn't have the balls to hold onto him and reject bids. Gladly admit it and happy to do so. Thank you bill, 37m is a lot and I appreciate the stand. Now please back RM and sign us some more players.
