    They always say that. If he said "yeah we want to sell him ASAP" then what incentive is their for Chelsea or United to up their offer.

    If either club comes in around £35m+ then he'll be off like a shot.

    As the saying goes 'every player has a price'. In this instance its a high price.

    Not sure I fully believe that but if it is true isn't this actually better for us in the long term?

    1) We might get more next year
    2) We can only spend 60% of each year's turnover on player wages. If we sell Holgate and Stones in the same year then that year we can spend tons on wages but then what happens next year when there's no big income? Do we have to sell the good players we only bought a year ago? If Holgate goes this year and Stones goes next, then we should be able to pay for a decent player on a 2 year contract.

    If and when John Stones moves on the resultant windall should be seen as a handy bonus rather than something we're eagerly waiting for. Of course I'm excited at the prospect of a few million quid but let's wait and see. I think it might be next summer before he moves on.

    I think BM confirmed that we would most likely receive any money in instalments anyway so could actually work out quite nicely for us that way.
