Arsenal £22m offer, Stones’ Chelsea move, Man Utd ace discusses — Transfer News

Everton do not wish to sell Stones and are hopeful the England under-21 star won’t push for a move either.

“Players like John Stones and Ross Barkley have an incredible future, and these players are going to attract interest from the outside”.

According the Daily Mail, Everton are prepared to reject the bid again and are hoping that it ends the saga of Chelsea’s chase on the Englishman. I’m just speaking in general, ” said Mourinho, ahead of Saturday’s season-opener with Swansea at Stamford Bridge. In the past, we made our biggest investment in Chelsea [when we bought Romelu Lukaku].

It remains to be seen how Everton will respond to such a bid but I think it must surely be getting to a point where they have to start giving serious consideration to cashing-in. “It is wrong and it shouldn’t happen”.

“The next two or three years, the best place for him is at Goodison Park playing 30, 40, maybe 50 games a season“.

Martinez was disappointed by John Terry’s comments on Wednesday, when the Chelsea captain suggested his club were looking to Stones as one for the future.

Tony Hibbert, Darron Gibson, Muhamed Besic, Steven Pienaar and Aiden McGeady definitely miss out because of a myriad of respective injury issues. This is how we knew – using a very loose definition of “to know” in this case of course – that it would take well over £30m to possibly get the 21-year-old from the very beginning.

“Tomas has got that raw natural talent to use in attacking play“, Martinez said.

“There are more, there are different options and we’ll decide when it’s possible to decide”.
