Horrible timing on this as well... not a lot of time for replacements (as someone stated earlier we haven't even replaced Distin or Alcaraz, let alone a player like Stones).
If Stones underwhelms at Chelsea, it will definitely be the nail in the coffin for Mourinho's second stint at Chelsea. He's such a small, spiteful man that he will absolutely throw Stones under the bus even thought it's his fault for thrusting huge expectations on to him.
found a good stream and installled the software just in time for the Lu goal (acestream on a mac is a pain in the butt)
If Stones karma is going to happen...extra time of a CapOne cap match at Barnley would be a good nominee
Instead of keeping up with the second half, I took a Roger Bennett sad nap. I think I've stumbled upon the secret to our success.
Everton Roberto Martinez confirms he will reject John Stones's transfer request in the morning. 'Today was a match day, the game was more important' 8/26/15, 4:39 PM https://vine.co/v/ejIhKj7DTjh
Good, with the way things have been going, I don't think anyone would be shocked if Mourinho is gone by January and this whole thing will blow over.
You familiar with year 3 Mourinho? He's already shown his ass multiple times and it's only 3 weeks into the season. Combine that with Pep being on the market, and people will lose patience with his antics.
Yes im familiar. Situation at Chelsea is completely different in how he is viewed by Roman and the board.
That's kind of my fear. It happened with Lescott before his move to City. But the board really grew a pair, now it's time to see if Stones is a professional or not.
what % of a transfer fee does a player see? Or in other words what amount of money did we just say "NOPE!!!!" to him immediately getting?
if thats true thats really insane to think about. Like...if you pay the player and the player didnt get a cut of it.........that just seems insane to me. I mean, this isnt the NCAA we are talking about.
Agent gets a share of the transfer, but I'm pretty sure player only gets wages. Plus for his next sale, Burnley get a small cut of the sale as well due to our agreement when he signed from them
He'll be thanking us when he gets to play in the Euros instead of being the afterthought he would be if he got his move.
Should be him and Smalling as England's #1 duo. Cahill continues to regress and Jagielka is old(no offense)
Player gets a percentage, typically negotiated in the contract. Agents get paid above and beyond the transfer fee, which is why Arsene won't work with Mendes and Dein Jr.
Stones is signed thru 2019, no reason for Everton to sell this season. Can wait till 2017 and get the haul.
That all hinges on him not being a total twat and acting like a professional. Hopefully he didn't study Eto'o too closely last year.
