John Stones

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Maybe Everton want to delay things so they can buy players without everyone knowing we have given them £50m?

Maybe Txiki is happy this one is in place, but has to focus on Sané or Bonucci right now because those aren't certain.


There's rumours of Bony being involved in a part swap deal, so that would make the whole thing much more complex.

Also I think Txiki would rather spend a fortnight negotiating behind the scenes and have 1 bid accepted than have to go back with a second and third.

We know Gurdiola really wants the players into preseason ASAP, so it's unlikely that we are delaying it for trivial reasons.

I don't think we have anything to worry about here.

thanks for your reply mate!;)

Why would we be happy to wait ? We could have him back and in training, bedding in with his new teammates. It's more likely Everton are digging in their heels and trying to squeeze about 60m out of us. This is far from sewn up

You seem to have not read my comment. I never said we'd be happy to wait, I said we would want Stones in training ASAP, but might be forced to wait.

Another reason could be that we need to create some squad space. If Kolarov, Mangala, Zabba and some others were already out of the door. No doubt there would be more movement.

OMG it's happening!

Also, surely Stones will be on a break for several weeks seeing as he went straight to the Euros ?

Even if we had already signed him, Everton may have requested we keep it quiet whilst he's away, so they can sort out their own business.

We will have to wait due to extended holiday for Euro 16 players
