Ash - from a friend of a friend. 08:08 - Aug 7 with 26268 views | Thornburyswan | No pictures or quotes to back it up but 'I know someone who is very friendly with Ash's family' & she has heard that Everton have offered to almost double his wages' & he sees it as his last significant contract - he has been looking at property up in the North West. I guess we could offer him more money to stay but suspect if Everton get anywhere near £12M+ we'll move on - assuming Fed's fit looks like him & Amat to me @ Burnley. | | | | |
Ash - from a friend of a friend. on 08:13 - Aug 7 with 9895 views | SwansNZ | He's got to feed his family somehow, poor thing. Why would we offer him more money? He's already got a contract. Agree that we should sell for 12 million. | |

Ash - from a friend of a friend. on 08:19 - Aug 7 with 9842 views | Whiterockin | If he wants to go and we won't accept the £10M it is up to Everton to up the offer. If that means reducing the future wages to cover the cost so be it. | | | |
Ash - from a friend of a friend. on 08:22 - Aug 7 with 9815 views | Joe_bradshaw | Maybe Everton should have considered the old fashioned route of having a bid accepted before discussing personal terms with the player? Having tapped him up to the point of offering to double his wages you'd have thought they'd have quickly offered an increase on the £8M rising to £10M with add ons that was turned down by the Swans. We may have indicated that we'll accept a bit more but not until we've secured a replacement as we seem to have done with Ayew? | |

If we are happy with Amat and Fernandez as first choice then i think we'd be less concerned about getting a replacement first. Shouldn't be too hard to find a 3rd or 4th choice CB. | | | |

Indeed that may be the case. Which would make it surprising that they haven't offered a few more million to get him up there asap to start training with his new team. Have they cooled on Ash? Are they looking elsewhere? Are they hopeful that Stones may not leave after all? | |

I doubt they'd be hopeful Stones stayed, if they can get £50 million for him | |

I think they bid for Fonte as well as Ash. Doubt they will need them both | | | |

Clearly City aren't offering close to £50M yet. They've tried to throw Bony into the deal (when they claimed Bony was worth north of 20M). That failed and strangely Bony is now available for £13M. | |

Ash - from a friend of a friend. on 08:54 - Aug 7 with 9487 views | Clinton | Sadly I think It's time to say thanks and goodbye to Ash. If he stays will he resent the fact we didn't let him go for his last big pay day. He's got to finish sometime, no one goes on forever. We all probably have that little niggle in the back of our minds that we might fall apart without the big man, but let's bite the bullet anyway. | |

Whichever agent started the rumour that Stones is worth £50M is a genius. Most people seem to have accepted the idea that he's a £50M player despite any evidence to support that. If Man City manage to buy him for 'only' £30M, they will think they have a bargain! | | | |

He's under contract, so we're not just going to "let him go". Everton pay what we want, then no doubt we will be willing to sell him. Until then, he can stay. | |

There in no evidence because he's not worth £50 million, not even half that figure if you ask me. | |

Agreed, surely the most overrated player of recent times and that includes Stirling! | | | |

Anyone on here who wouldn't do exactly the same is a liar and a fool. Consider he could set his children up for life, given that he only has a few years left to play is an opportunity nobody could turn down. | |

You think he has not earned enough to set up his family already? | |

Stop fishing. he already earns more in a year than most earn in a 40 year working life. | | | |

Anyway, nobody is begrudging him the move, but Everton have to meet our valuation. | |

Ash - from a friend of a friend. on 09:29 - Aug 7 with 9095 views | Jackfath | Not fishing (it's odd that when one posts a differing viewpoint people automatically assume one must be fishing) Neither am I saying he hasn't earned enough. It's all relative. I cannot understand those who would begrudge someone "doubling" their wages for the next few years until they retire. | |

It's not really a different point of view. Most are content to let Ash go ... But Everton have to meet our price. | |
