Mogsy Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Terry has been subbed against Man City , first time ever, they reckon due to his lack of pace, anyone else think that could have a massive implications with stones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I've been watching this game thinking "these are going to push really hard for Stones after this" They'll defo come knocking again imo but it's still a 50 or a fuck off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we can resist. Doubt City will be in for him with Ottamendi reportedly close but Man U man still come sniffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 sorry pad but if it means we get yarmalenko Mori and Evans in ill take the expected 35M yaalenko and Mori would do me mate, keep Stones Lennon on deadline day. I'd be made up with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) No reason why we shouldn't sign all three (plus Lennon) and keep Stones. That would be a real statement. And Europe and a Cup Final would be very realistic aims. Edited August 16, 2015 by rusty747 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yep, we hold all the cards here. Exactly, I've said all along we do but now they're all over the place it makes it even better. He's clearly not going to push for a move he's on a nice long contract and is only going to get better. I would honestly not budge for anything less than 50 but I hope we keep him regardless of the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I would love nothing more then to say fuck you and hold onto stones. They buy some foreigner who pulls a man gala and next summer offer the moon, and we still sell to United or city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Chelsea will not just up the price by a few million, they will probably Offer Stones even more in wages, they will try to unsettle him. That will be the only factor in this saga......will the lad want to go! If he does, it makes it much more difficult to turn down offers.

They can't offer him anything unless we give him permission to speak to him Which we haven't. It's illegal to even approach him never mind discuss terms unless we accept a bid and allow it.

He looks a happy bunny though, unlike Lescott a few years back who was walking around with a face like a slapped arse (and had put in a transfer request by this stage). Team spirit at the end of the game yesterday looked superb. Romey 1878, London Blue and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 During the City v Chelsea game Terry was subbed at half-time and didn't appear to be injured. The Chelsea defence was all over the place. The commentator mentioned Stones going to Chelsea and quickly said something like 'maybe I shouldn't have said that, don't want to upset Martinez.

MikeO Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 The board should be slaughtered if they accept that. Depends on the add-ons. If it's another £35m once he's played thirty seconds for them I'd take it (reluctantly). Otherwise they can fuck off.

Finn balor Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 he is worth £45 mill at least. people dont realise how good he is. some bellend on sky said he wouldnt play ahead of cahill. fucking joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's infuriating Finn I've seen a fair few similar posts knocking around online Typical glamour fans who know fuck all and would make such an assumption without actually ever seeing said player play or even often If he goes and the add ons are very generous (£15/20m) I'd reluctantly hope that it's to United or any other side bar Chelsea but they will make a big bid as they are crying out for a player like him it's possibly the most disjointed Chelsea side I've seen for some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the only factor in this saga......will the lad want to go! If he does, it makes it much more difficult to turn down offers. As has also been mentioned, they can't offer him anything without our permission. Plus, let's not forget he has FOUR years left on his contract, there is really nothing player or buying club can do if we want don't want to sell. If Stones starts to sulk, pull the whip on him, drop him and give Browning a go, see how long before he falls in line. Though to be honest, he doesn't seem that type at all. I do think he has his price, but Chelsea are the desperate ones here, not us. 50 million or no deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I do think he has his price, but Chelsea are the desperate ones here, not us. 50 million or no deal. I think Bill should accept the call if the bid reaches £50m and say no personally. Anything less he should leave to his secretary, "I'm sorry but Mr Kenwright's in a meeting at the moment, I'll pass on your message. Bye".

Makis Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Let's not be stupid. Stones is not the best defender in the world yet. He might be in a few years' time. But by then we might be without Lukaku and Barkley because the club can't invest in strenghtening the team. And Chelsea won't pay 50 million in any case. City might.

StevO Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 His agent has spoken to Chelsea, surely we all know this already? We will have spoken to plenty of players agents ourselves this summer. It happens. Bids don't get made without knowing if a player would go for it. I'm not saying Stones wants to go, but his agent will have done nothing to put Chelsea off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makis Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 How is the future of Lukaku and Barkley relevant to Stones' value? Not understanding the connection. Because the nucleus of this team could well disappear even if Stones is not sold. 50 million is a ridiculous amount for a defender and there's no point in comparing that to a forward's price.

With the likes of Luiz £50m Shaw £27m Mangala £42.9m in recent history and the likes of Johnson Bosingwa Zhirkov Carvalho all selling for around £20m in or just beyond the last decade with inflation and the added wealth of the league and clubs would equate to more now £50m isn't unrealistic at all for a player who can be fairly well compared to Ferdinand who sold for £30m 13 years ago at the age of 23 two years John's senior Edited August 17, 2015 by EFC-Paul Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
