Friday's gossip round-up
Martinez to Terry: Stop tapping up Stones
Roberto Martinez has told John Terry to butt out of Everton’s business... and stop tapping up John Stones. The Blues boss is angry at what he sees as an “illegal” approach from the Chelsea skipper ,following the London club’s two bids for Stones.
Terry pointedly suggested this week the Goodison centre- back would be his perfect replacement and a great signing for Chelsea .
Martinez said: “You know that is illegal, the rules don’t allow you to comment on players that are registered at other clubs in that open manner, that is disappointing.
“You know, I know. We all know there are rules and regulations and it is something we don’t want to see when other clubs speak about your players. It is wrong and it shouldn’t happen.
“As clubs we have a good understanding of where we are and I don’t think it is something to get the managers involved in.”
