You can see City compromising at whatever you want mate. Everton will not be selling for less than £50m. It's not up for debate. This is straight from the top.

Why? If your workplace told you that you weren't going anywhere for at least 12 months, would you keep your current wage or accept it tripled? I didn't mention his wage. Everton don't need 'luck' with keeping a player. Timing makes no difference. If he leaves, a replacement is needed. What?

I don't quite understand what you're saying. If he leaves, it'll be for £50m. We'll get £10m more than you're offering and that will allow us to improve the squad further. We don't need luck to keep him happy. He'll be getting a £50k pay rise regardless of whether he stays or goes. If he...

I had about 12 replies and can't reply to them all so I shan't reply to any, to be fair! :) Told you. Club won't budge from £50m. I still expect City to pay it, mind.

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/incoming/everton-transfer-rumours-manchester-city-11654222? The Echo is an awful paper but it will not run a story on something until it knows it's a fact.

It's pretty obvious, isn't it? There may not be any direct quotes but most managers (Mourinho aside) will tell you, when asked about a certain player, "he's a good player but I don't like to comment on players at other clubs".

I'm not "throwing weight around". I'm here to talk about Stones. I have no interest in people talking shit about my club. I'll let them know it's not for me and that's the end of it. It's not 'holier than thou', it's me not wanting to waste my time. Bye lad. You're also on the list.

The general feeling is that it was always going to happen, £50m is the minimum we should get and any less would be poor, we'd have liked him to stay but if we can replace him properly (Koulibaly?) then that's fine. It needs to happen soon though, there's been very little happening with Everton...

I really don't care how little it may impact him. I told him I wasn't interested in slinging shit and he continued to sling shit, so I'm letting him know not to continue. That goes for anything unrelated to Stones from this point on, too. I'm not here for it.

No, stats always apply, just proving that minutes per goal is utter bollocks in any context. Permanently ignored. Okay cool mate, well I'm actually a fan of the football club and know things myself. I'm much happier knowing that what you put is incorrect.

If our terms are not met exactly, he will not go. It was harder to make Lukaku stay and he's not going anywhere. Some fans asked him what he was doing when they bumped into him at a petrol station, but that's the extent of that. As for the 'delightful fans' comment, if you continue in that...

Stones will go provided: 1. Everton get the fee demanded for him, not a penny less. 2. Everton have a replacement ready to sign. This is why the bids for Koulibaly were happening. It's very possible that Stones stays if these conditions aren't met. But that doesn't look like its happening.

You'd have to point out what you're looking at, because all I see is that Lukaku is younger and has scored more in more competitive leagues than Bony.

You say this but Lukaku just keeps scoring more goals each and every season. He has his flaws, don't get me wrong, but stats don't lie. And the stats say Bony isn't comparable.

Ah, I don't come here very often so I don't know who's wumming and who's serious. It's quite nice here though, almost everyone is respectful.

Perhaps it wasn't clear. I meant: what's your point? Any further offensive replies will be permanently ignored, by the way. I treat everyone respectfully and I expect the same in return. Not really. He hasn't played a proper season for you. He hasn't scored enough for you. Would the Everton...

Haha! So? What I'm doing is giving reasons as to why Bony can very feasibly be considered to be worth lower than £20m and Stones is still valued at £50m, with regards to these negotiations.

The entire team had a poor second half of the season. Stones' potential is clear and he has his age going for him. The fact that he's Pep's ideal centre back only raises his valuation with regards to Everton dealing with City. The fact that Bony has had a torrid 18 months with City only...

Others had stated there had been negotiations, a price had been agreed, a contract had been agreed, it would be announced as soon as the Euros were done, etc. I said this was not the case. Stones stated his interest in joining City and that was the extent of the situation. Once the Euros ended...

I've been away from a while, but look! The Euros have ended and now things are starting to happen with Stones and City. It's almost as if a certain Everton fan told you this would happen, yet some of you (not all) preferred to stick their fingers in their ears.
