if City do pay it, it will be a hollow victory. He'll have to be replaced and you'll get done. if Moshiri is as wealthy and committed to EFC as claimed, why didn't you just sell the player for £40 million which is a good fee for him, and replace him with a player you had lined up with the 12 months notice you were given from this time last year?

I am not sure City will be prepared to go to £50m for him as there might be more to be gained by showing clubs that we wont just pay whatever is asked.

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.

I don't. Good luck keeping Stones happy considering he's lost the chance of CL football and probably a £50-70k pay rise. Don't think he'll be extending that current contract after last summer and now this

We don't need luck to keep him happy. He'll be getting a £50k pay rise regardless of whether he stays or goes.

You should pay him commensurate to how you value you him then?

If he stays, we will be doing that with a new contract.
 
came on as a late sub against Betis. Finished 1-1

Reports linking EFC with Ashley Williams for £10m.
 
We can't get pep then say you can't have who you want to do the job,i think it'll get done but we might have to pay up
Pep will be fully in the loop. Maybe he doesn't believe he's worth 50 million quid and supports the club's stance? I'm yet to meet a single City fan who thinks this player is worth what Everton are asking for him.

Why didn't you last yet when valuing him at £40m plus?

I imagine he wants to progress as a player, play in the Champions League. Play alongside Kompany and under Guardiola etc.

Regarding the fee, my argument doesn't matter now, but EFC knew a year ago he wanted to go. It would have been simple as a big Premiership club to line a replacement up. You leave it until a week before the season, or later, any extra monies you get in now, will go out again in an increased deal as clubs will see you coming.

I think you said earlier that Stones was on £30k a week. I think it's a safe bet to assume that a £50 million player will be on substantially more than £80k per week.

There is also the knock on effect of breaking your wage structure to keep a player.

How much will you then offer Lukaku who you value higher than Stones? Then what about the likes of Baines, Coleman and McCarthy when then want new deals?

Keeping a player against his will when you're valuing him at a lot of money will have a huge knock on effect.

City have walked away from the likes of Pogba because of his wage demands and how it will effect the others players.

Of course, Everton could simply keep him on his current contract and he would have to honour it, but good luck with that.
