Rumoured John Stones

[lucio 5,418]

Mourinho said CB, MID & Forward. If we get Stones then we have our forward also, so that leaves one more signing.....Pedro?

Or witsel , unfortunately he didn't specify what mid

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Hang in there John Stones, sooner or later you will be a Chelsea player.

If mou wants someone, prepare yourself martinez!

[Starman60 1,343]

If Stones possesses any small bit of ambition he will want to join Chelsea. He can stay with Everton and the little whinger of a manager,but he will regret it for the rest of his career. He wont win trophies at Everton and he wont improve as a player either as he wont have anyone to mentor him because he's the best at that club already. Stevie G made that mistake and stayed at Pool but he never won the trophy he craved, and he knew that he would have won a few Premierships with us.

Therefore, I would like to introduce our new number 6......John Stones.....Com'n son, you know it makes sense :blue scalf:

Jose will have plans for him then, either at right back, replacing Cahill at CB or loaning him to everton again.

I think Zouma has done enough to warrant a starting place.

When asked if he felt Stones could learn a lot from playing with the experienced Terry, he replied: “Or alongside (Gary) Cahill, or alongside (Kurt) Zouma” and said his experienced players could teach the centre half, who joined Everton from Barnsley for £3m in 2013, a lot.

While making it clear he doesn't expect next season to be Terry's last in a Chelsea shirt, Mourinho admits the club's interest in Stones is due to the fact they have to start planning for life without the veteran.

Terry enjoyed one of his best-ever seasons last term, but turns 35 in December.

Mourinho added: "We have three (central defenders). We have two who are more than thirty years old (Terry 34 and Cahill - turns 30 in December). We would like to have two who are less than 25 (including Zouma), which would give us the next ten years.

"I think ten years ago or five years ago every Chelsea supporter would say: ‘I can’t see Chelsea winning a title without Frank Lampard’, but we did it. No-one is irreplaceable. Difficult to replace? Yes.

"One day when he (Terry) stops we have created already a situation for John to be replaced."

I don't think so. I could believe in this option if the player worth 10M or something, but when you invest 30M for a player, is because you have plans with him.

I think that who would be loaned, is Kurt.

That's what I fear will happen, unless jose has plans for him in midfield.

Stones is that good now he could come in alongside JT, displace Cahill and not look out of place.

Yeah, but we said that about Zouma last season.

[Special Juan 28,134]

Yeah, but we said that about Zouma last season.

Who did?

[illmatic 901]

For that declarations, It's clear that Mou sees Stones like a replacement to Terry for the future, surely recommended by the own Terry. In this case, I think that Mou will do everything to sign him.....

.... and I hope that Stones does his part too.

[LAM09 7,043]

Who did?

Quite a few people after some good displays. I'm not sure why Mou keeps Cahill in the starting XI, as he's gone downhill IMO. Terry and Zouma should be the starting pairing amongst what we currently have.
