Stones-to-Chelsea rumour revamped
The Evening Standard is revamping a story from early in May to maintain the Stones-to-Chelsea rumour, saying Everton value the young England star at £20m.
The journalist, Simon Johnson, acknowledges that Everton are attempting to keep their prize asset at all costs, saying he 21-year-old, who joined Everton for just £3m from Barnsley in 2013, will not come cheap.
Everton have placed a minimum £20m valuation on his head, even though he has only 38 Premier League starts to his name. But the timing of the story seems driven by new Real Madrid manger Rafa Benitez promising Rapahel Varane first-team football.

If he achieves his potential, and don’t forget he’s an international and he’s English, £30M will be a giveaway. If not then that’s a risk the buyers take. I think he’ll go but we mustn’t give him away.

If ever their was a group of supporters that have been hoodwinked in this modern money-flush era of TV revenue, it has to be Evertonians. Ever since the arrival of this gang of fuckin moneyÂ’ed Vampires that sit with their indolent arses on ALL our faces, we have been turned into the smackheads of the Premier League.
Commercial deals, ground deals, financing, Fortress Sports Fund deals, Park End regeneration deals, lying about player deals (Fer and his gammy leg), Twisted season ticket propaganda tactics... One fuckin' marquee signing in and one smartly signing marquee out-deals etc etc...
For the sake of optimism, I hope we keep our key players and, to be fair, we might well keep them... but just remember, people, that, even though we might well get good money for them if we do sell any of them, these twats WON'T spend like for like back into the squad...
My God, the Reds would stick them against a barn door with pitch forks.

Nothing has changed in my opinion from the drivel and shite that was served from last season. And to top it all, we still have the same wankers in charge from the board down.
In 51 years of following the Blues I donÂ’t think I have ever been so worried as to where our club is going, and more importantly where it might end up.

Yet, despite this, fans will be furious if we fail to break into the top 6 and don’t lift a trophy. With no Euro involvement and luck with injuries, we might well have a decent season but it won’t be easy. So far we have spent about £5m plus another whatever we agreed on Lukaku. The new faces look promising but we need more. Let’s hope the window is a good one.

Future Everton and England captain; £2M? I don’t think so...
