lucio 5,418 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman60 1,343 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Jose will have plans for him then, either at right back, replacing Cahill at CB or loaning him to everton again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/jose-mourinho-confirms-chelsea-are-trying-to-buy-john-stones-as-blues-plot-26m-second-bid-for-everton-star-10398872.html?guoygukygkuyfWhen 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."

illmatic 901 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Jose will have plans for him then, either at right back, replacing Cahill at CB or loaning him to everton again.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.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illmatic 901 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,050 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Cahill as of now is comfortably better than Zouma & this is someone who doesn't rate Cahill that highly at all. Zouma needs to sort out his passing & positioning first. I'd personally loan him out if we get Stones in.Cahill will have sleepless nights if we sign Stones, he'll keep his place if Zouma is the only challenger.

Just because he Is arge , many people here have actually said they were surprised, at his passing.And Cahill should sort out his positioning too ,and he is 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Will be interesting to see if Everton listen to Jose words "if they tell us he isnt for sale at any price at all, game over, we walk away" yet to do this.... Which the theorists among us can take 2 ways. a) They would sell him and know what price they wantor they have done but Mourinho is yet to be informed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 A lot of people. Practically everyone when Cahill was benched for a few games for Zouma in the winter.Zouma was very promising with his appearances but by no means the Varane mark 2 some tried to claim.
