Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 That cash could be used to get several CBs. Maybe not as talented but sometimes depth is better than raw talent.Whats the point of depth if its not talented? Thats part of the problem we already have! Why make it worse?

Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Because if Jones is injured or suspended they have nothing.I was meaning in our situation Spike.If all our depth just isnt good enough why add more of the same caliber to it. Why not upgrade the 1st team and demote the player thats been replaced to depth.Mous there saying that 5 wingers are enough and doesnt want too many but when IMHO 2 of them just aren't our standard and 1 is at his best a mirror copy of Willian I just dont get why he doesnt get shot of a couple and bring a couple in?? OR buy them first so we know we have them THEN sell the others.It just seems to lack sense to me or am I totally missing summet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeholiday 209 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Is stones that much better than kalas???Very good question. He's not english tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Well, Kalas could barely get any game time at Koln and wasn't particularly great at Boro. He's also older than Stones and not HG because of all the loans, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Merseyside club will demand in excess of £30m, another bid of £26m will be launched on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I think if that is rejected we should not up the money but throw in a player or two who doesn`t have a future with us. I`m not gonna pick who because then the focus of my point will be taken to that player but we seem to have quite a few on our books who appear to have no way back into Jose`s plans.

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If Barnard is meeting their people, there is a willingness to negotiate. That does not happen with a side refusing to sell a player full stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea4 1,521 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Darmian is shit; i.e. "I haven't seen him play". If otherwise, explain why the player claimed as 'Italy's best fullback' is a shit.Of course there are good defenders out there. Many of them; not every player is or has to be Franz Beckenbauer or Franco Baresi to be considered good.hahahahaha best italy fullback hahahahahahahaha omg he is shit .

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If Everton dig there heels in (which they are) we would have to break the transfer fee for a British defender. I have my doubts it will happen and i don't think it's worth the risk. How much will Everton want 40 million? bollocks to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stones plays in a Martinez defense. He going to be asked to do a lot more than our CBs.We have a monster in Matic protecting our CBs, and most of the time, they just have to stay in position and the likes of Matic, Cesc, Willian and Oscar will track back and defend.

Hi friend!Obviously statistics can always be interpreted in many different ways.But these statistics show that John Stones is not a risky signing because he has level to play with us.On a scale of quality - Technical - characteristics - future prospects - Price ... I think John Stones is one of the best signings we can do for our defense.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hes also very quick so getting up and down the pitch without leaving the other lads up shit creek wouldnt be a problem.The only thing that Im worried about is just how this would effect Happy? If we sent him out on loan it would be a travesty and if it made him 3rd choice (specially when Cahills sitting there quite snugly) would hurt him and I THINK it could lead him to leaving us.Its no secret Id give my dangleys to have Happy/Varane as our CBs but a Happy/Stones would work.
