Perhaps I'm not being clear enough. Everton do not need to "sell to buy" anymore in the sense that they lack funds. There is no lack of funds at all. Every player we wish to buy, we can afford to buy, without sales. The issue lies in FFP. I can understand where the confusion was coming from...

Bold is true. The rest is incorrect. There's no agreement for Stones to be allowed to leave. Cool stuff.

The new people introduced at the top of the club have set a target. European football must be attained this season. Champions League football must be attained within three years, hence the three year contract. It's not going to be easy for any club to get into the top four.

Skimmed through your post. City and Stones have not entered negotiations. Everton have been contacted, City have been told to wait until after the Euros and that a lot of money will be required. Money is of no issue to Everton anymore, transfers are purely to dodge the slalom that is FFP. All...

Leave it out. No negotiations have happened with the player. Contact has been made with Everton, club(s) have been told to wait until after the Euros are over. Heard nothing about this "dining", or anything else you've mentioned. Stones has not been negotiating with City yet.

It's not done. No Everton player who is away at the Euros has been involved in any form of negotiations.

Can't see that happening. Money is no issue for us now, it'll take a substantial amount to sign him purely so we can negotiate FFP and the deal will have to be done early because Koeman has a plan for this summer and isn't going to let late deals for players leaving jeopardise that. Either he...

From what I've seen on my side, there is definite interest from both parties (City and Stones). We already knew that. But that's as far as it goes. The Euros have got in the way of any transfer and nothing will happen until they're done. Strange, as I was very sure we were going to keep Stones...

There's no room, nor need, for morals when your bank account is full. Okay mate xx Please put effort into explaining your stance to me, otherwise don't waste time replying to me. Thanks. What I've said, and what I keep repeating, is that you're underestimating what is happening with...

I'll assume you must have been having a bad day. Usmanov has not been allowed any influence in Arsenal by Kroenke. It appears that he and Moshiri have turned their attention elsewhere (to us, no less) to put money into a football club. You're seriously underestimating what's going to happen...

Oh boy, it'd be rude if I didn't reply to all of you so here we go :) Thanks mate. I don't expect us to go and do things like splashing £20m on players like Jo, but we'll be investing significantly and as much as possible, even pushing through the threshold with some jiigery pokery. Everyone...

The general opinion, from Everton ITKs who always get it right, is that if we wanted to go and buy Messi, we could. Not that there's a chance he would come of course, but that's the kind of money we have available for transfers. We're not going to be spunking money on dross like Jo, but we'll...

Nah mate, when I said 'in it to play', I meant to play the game. Do what needs to be done. Either an owner is going to give to a club, or he's going to take. That's what it boils down to, every single time. Your owner is there to give. Now I don't want to keep this off topic conversation on...

So he's in it to play? Either an owner is there to take money out of the club, or he's there to put money into the club. Your owner is putting money into the club. My point still stands. There's nothing wrong with it; don't take offence from it. Okay, so now we're talking about "last season"...

The PL is full of wealthy owners who buy clubs for their own individual reasons. Some, to profit from. Like United, like Swansea will be now, like Villa. Others, to play. Like your oil sheikhs. Like Moshiri is. Thanks for the advice on transfer budgets. I do pay attention to what players go...

No. I'm quite confident in our ability to hold onto Stones. I was certain Lukaku was going but he was saying to the media he expects to be sold before the Euros, and there's not been even a whisper of movement from him. It's likely that he was heading in the direction of Chelsea, Conte had...

Stones deservedly gone, absolutely has to start. Barkley also deserves to go. In three games away from Martinez, Stones has gone from shot of confidence to England's best defender. Given the chance, Barkley will too. Including Rashford is absolute nonsense. It'll be a push to use three of...

Like I said, give Stones a couple of games away from Martinez and everyone will be gushing over him again.

Your badge is clean, modern, not busy and has the right amount of colour. Still think our's just looks a little... sharp? Could have done a better job with it, anyway.

Thought I'd mention that your new badge looks quality. You've done a much better job with it then we have. Our's still looks a bit busy.
