ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I thought he was going to be 17pedro is 17On the official site along the bottom where you can scroll through the player pics and their numbers, there isnt one above Baba... he is in the number 6 slot. Unless its just not been updated... weirdly. Mind you same thing with Kenedy, no number above him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 pedro is 17On the official site along the bottom where you can scroll through the player pics and their numbers, there isnt one above Baba... he is in the number 6 slot. Unless its just not been updated... weirdly. Mind you same thing with Kenedy, no number above himCracks me up. This is a problem with the transfer season. If it stopped on the 1st day of the season at least everyone would have an idea about numbers.But it might say more about us not being ready to use either of them yet. Which is the biggest shame.This is why I remembered Baba as 17http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/8/16/9162563/baba-rahman-the-spirit-of-jose-bosingwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 What game exactly did Cahill have Messi in his pocket? Please stop. Stones was excellent against City, nitpicking his performance is embarrassing considering he's already better than Cahill is despite his inexperience.Fact is Stones is the most gifted CB of his generation along with Varane. He passes through the lines with ease, he has the diagonal in his locker, composure galore, pace, strength, great in the air, excellent reading of the game, clean tackler etc He isn't your run of the mill defender, he's a special talent.No Laporte and Gimenez are both better and time will show that. But for either, I wouldnt pay 40m. Stones is good, but he is not that great. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I still don't think we need him. Terry, Cahill, Zouma, Iva, Azpi (ICE) for 2 positions is plenty.There will be another up and coming defender this time next season anyways.

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 When asked if Stones handing in a transfer request - as reported by several media - would change his stance on Stones, Martinez responded "there is nothing to comment"But hang on, if he is just not going to sell him, just say "no, wouldn't change a thing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Doubt Stones will force a move after the media reaction with Sterling this summer. He won't lose any value or suitors even if he stays another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,532 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 putting in a public transfer request will put pressure on Everton to sell..but some seem to think that is all that is holding this deal back.it`s really not that simple.I think he has already told the club he wants to leave for us and he doesn`t want to publicly disrespect the club by putting in a public transfer request. but he may as the window closing approaches. I think we can get him if we put in another bid.the Garay talk could change things either way..either it makes Everton think we don`t need him as much as they think so they stop dragging their feet,or they can see it as they have beaten us off and will keep stones.

the wes 7,212 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 According to The Times, Stones is keen on moving but with Everton determined not to sell, the England international is weighing up whether to force the move himself by handing in the transfer request.
