21-year old John Stones. Everton boss Roberto Martinez had accused Chelsea of trying to unsettle stones by making their £20 million bid for the young central defender public.

 

“Our strategy for the Premier League is going to change next year,” Mourinho told reporters in New York on the club’s preseason tour. “Next year we are going to make the first bid on the day after the window closes. On that day, we will do a bid for the season later.

“Because at this moment [it seems] the market is closed. We are all in a strange world. We are all in a strange world. We think it [the transfer market] is open but it is not open it is closed. So the day after it closes, we are going to make a bid for the next season.”

Chelsea’s bid was earlier rejected, with Everton asking for about £30 million, a price Mourinho is not pleased with. “That is the market. And you only pay it if you want,” Mourinho accepted. “If you don’t want to pay it, don’t pay. It’s as simple as that.

“The market has no rules or limits from season to season. And not even the introduction of financial fair play rules is able to control the market. The market is where it is and it’s up to the clubs to decide yes or no. For ourselves there are certain rules.

“It’s a good market. That is why smaller other clubs if they have interesting young English players they use that in the right way for them. I don’t even criticise them. They play the market for themselves.

“And if the big clubs don’t want to go over certain limits, they have to make a decision. And that is maybe why none of the top clubs are not full of young English players. But that is the market.”
