The Toffees boss praised his club's chairman for rejecting bids for the England international and slammed Jose Mourinho's side for its constant pursuit.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has lashed out at Chelsea for trying to "click their fingers" and complete the signing of defender John Stones.
Jose Mourinho's side was reported to have offered close to 40 million pounds ($62 million) for the England star, who had a transfer request rejected, and Stones now looks likely to stay at Goodison Park despite the Blues' pursuit.
Martinez lauded chairman Bill Kenwright for insisting the player would not be sold and believes it is an indication that the world's elite clubs are not always able sign who they want because of their high budgets.
