Rumoured John Stones

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Would love but not with that price. They can f*** off.

[Thor 2,690]

There are so many options as good, or better in the price range of 20 mil. 

Also, how much better is he then Christensen? Asking as someone who hasn't really followed the Bundesliga this season.

Stones can't even start at Everton while Christensen has been one of the best CB's in Germany

Christensen is better.

Chelsea are preparing another bid of around £40m to bring Everton defender John Stones, 21, to the club, but the Toffees want a transfer fee over £50m. (Daily Express)

Hope we'll get him, enough with these stop gaps. Boy is class.

Stones is not worth 50m not even 20m.

[Essien19 1,415]

Stones is not worth 50m not even 20m.

Why?

English, experienced for a 21 year old player, ball playing centre back, can't think of a better alternative.

How do you know that's he not worth 20 mil. these days?

Because i have watched him play this season and he is terrible.He is hardly worth 20m.Last season he was good but still he was not worth 40m.

Baba was one of the best LB's in Germany last year and look how he does in the PL.

As far as i can remember Stones had a pretty good game against Chelsea in September 2015.
I'm not arguing that there weren't bad games from Stones, but it wasn't all dark and gloomy.
Before the season started, he filled in a transfer request and they didn't let him go, no, they benched him after a bad spell and showed no faith whatsoever in him.
I can see him excel in the right environment because in my opinion the boy has got what it takes.
Otamendi was top notch last season in Spain, but if the coach isn't at his best, the guys struggle, don't really matter who they buy.

Speaking of money, sure we're talking about huge sums, but as i have learned from the past, before you decide to pay millions, you'd better be sure.
A Cuadrado-esque transfer is really bad, so i happily pay the additional charge for a premium product, imo.
Who would be better suited for this club?!
Stones knows the league because he plays here week in and week out, i think this factor has often been underestimated.
Do you know a guy at similar age, with similar credentials and experience for 20 mil? I for one don't, so i keep my fingers crossed for Stones.

Chelsea desperately need an English core, we passed on the likes of Shaw and Sterling, but we can't continue like this, if we don't make a serious move,
i can see him joining United or City soon and that would be a real shame, imo.

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

This is a hard one, 40 mil is a lot, especially because we don't have only him to recruit, but potentially another 3 to 4 players, at least. I wouldn't mind him here at all, Martinez doesn't know how to coach shit anyway, as long as we still bring in the other midfield and defence players.

[Superblue 6,372]

He's a good player but not a good defender.

We need a top DEFENDER to lead our backline if Terry leaves. Also assuming that Zouma recovers back to his full capability, he should become first choice again. He'll continue to need a more experienced partner over the next couple of seasons to aid his development.

[xPetrCechx 13,571]

he can fuck off for 50 mil.

even for 40.

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

40 or 50 million for John Stones.....

ha ha ha hahahah ha hahaha ha ha ha

Fuck off man that's embarrassing, I hope we don't pay that

Rumour: Chelsea FC in discussions with Everton over Romelu Lukaku and John Stones

Quote

Chelsea FC are in discussions with Everton over the possible transfers of Romelu Lukaku and John Stones, according to the latest reports. Silly season rolls on.The rumours are really flying now. The latest story regarding Chelsea FC builds upon a couple which have been floating around for some time. The Blues are reportedly in negotiations with Everton over the purchase of former striker Romelu Lukaku and defender John StonesThe Metro picks up the report from Belgium, where sources claim that the two parties have held talks.Chelsea have reportedly opened talks over a double transfer raid for Everton stars Romelu Lukaku and John Stones…According to Belgian source HLN, Chelsea have already begun discussing a move for the pair with Everton.
Last summer was dominated by the Stones transfer saga. Chelsea put in multiple bids for the youngster and even openly admitted their pursuit. This caused some tension between Roberto Martinez and Jose Mourinho with the Toffees standing firm in their refusal to let him go.However, Everton have endured a thoroughly disappointing campaign and thus are vulnerable to a raid. Martinez has been sacked and there is much frustration surrounding the stagnation of the club.Lukaku has continued to prove his worth, hitting the back of the net on 18 occasions in the Premier League. His record, coupled with his impressive physical qualities, have drawn interest from European giants such as Bayern Munich.Everton value him at over £50 million but, due to aforementioned reasons, they may have to settle for a more modest fee should the striker push for a way out.

Stones, meanwhile, has failed to kick on. He entered this campaign as one of the most promising stars in the league, but he has taken a step back. Of course, he is still only 21-years-old and thus this may be that difficult campaign which all great players endure. Hence, Chelsea are still keen on signing him.Again, we must stress that these are all rumours from sources that I have never heard of before. Do not believe that talks between the two clubs are ongoing. However, do believe that both players are still firmly on Chelsea’s radar.
