I find this very hard to believe considering he (Stones) made the request after Chelsea's fourth bid for him. John Stones was the subject of four bids by Chelsea, which was turned down repeatedly by Everton. Continue after the cut
Stones himself asked for a move to be granted and was denied the move by Chairman Bill Kenwright and now Martinez is saying he (Stones) didn't mean to make the transfer.
"He's such a professional. I had other situations where I had players who couldn't cope and couldn't play. I had windows where I had to leave players out completely and when the window closed get him back in the team and what that represents - winning his team-mates over and the fans over. With John, it's very easy because he's a pristine professional. Obviously he's been put under massive, massive pressure. The transfer request was something he didn't mean to do," Martinez said.
