Rumoured John Stones

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

If he's coming as RB with Azpi staying on left, and with being homegrown I'd approve. As a CB where hes mainly played this yr, no. Cahill, Terry, Kalas, Zouma plenty

In that case our two fullbacks for next 6 years would be right back who plays on left side and centre back who plays on right side....thats just bad IMO.

[Severinb 309]

Would love him here one of the only good english CB that can play! Better than our current young defenders IMO!

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

If luiz stays, we got enough cover in his positions, if not, I'd rather buy an experienced back-up.

From the financial point of view, he could mean good business as he is english and english is overpriced.

[Tomo 21,751]

Under normal circumstances i would say no as we have enough young CB's already, but we desperately need a English core to the side with our legends getting on.

If we get him i wouldn't be as gutted if Shaw goes United.

[iseah100 5,612]

Why do we need this guy?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Why not Caulker then??

Stones>>>>>>>>>>>>>Caulker by far.

Caulker>>>>>>>>>>>>>Stones by far.

Couldn't believe it when Tottenham sold him, I always thought he'd be loaded out not sold. Stupidity. Rumour has it they want him back too.

On Stones, has great potential but he needs a few more seasons with Everton. Martinez is best for him and Stones needs to keep his head screwed on and develop with Everton before making a move. We should back off.. We have Kalas and Ake. We should trust in these boys.

Ake won't make it here as a CB I'm afraid. Too small - think he can do well for us as a DM predominantly/jack off all trades squad player that can play everywhere in defence.

I'll take that, and he's homegrown so they'll be a bit more affection towards him for that.

Stones should stay at Everton, Martinez will help him improve. Caulker is very good though, surely he'll be up for sale considering they just got relegated, no?.£8m for him wouldn't be bad. And he's homegrown.

[bushman 2,043]

For 12m a bargain. A home boy, fits well with Chelsea´s quotas.

[Spike 12,049]

Jones and Stones

Heh, I like it.

[lionsden 4,689]

Let's buy another centre back to join the growing list of CB already on the clubs books like JT,Cahill,Luiz(if he stays),Ivanovic,Zouma,Kalas,Christensen,Omeruo. heck even Chalobah and Ake can play that position.

It's absolutely baffling how some people are in favor of this rumor and I don't give a shit if he's homegrown and promising.

[Tomo 21,751]

We should sign him next summer. Ivan will be 31 and John can gradually replace him as the right back come centre half aswell as add to our HG core that NEEDS boosting.

Would be a very shrewd signing imo.
