DavidEU 2,023 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Italian journo wrote on Twitter that when Stones moves to Chelsea, Everton will try to sign Thomas Heurtaux from Udinese.They already have a replacement in mind which mean that they are prepared to lose Stones.They probably need a centre back anyway. They don't have many now Distin has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iseah100 5,612 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Are people honestly just wanting us to sign him after conceding 4 to a MLS U21s team basically? For the stupid fees mentioned?

xPetrCechx 13,578 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Chelsea feel they will eventually strike a deal for Stones that forces #EFC's hand, although the fee could rise above £30m (ESPN) #CFCMourinho remains confident of buying Everton's John Stones, even if he has to wait until the end of the transfer window.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 It's pretty believable that stones told Everton he wants out-perhaps even handed in a transfer request.Good signing now and good prospect for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,888 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Going to be a pointless buy in my eyes. We need a LB, another CM and a wide player or new number 10 urgently. Really hope we can get the LB and another CM at least anyway then this window wouldn't be so bad but even then we are just replacing what we've lost instead of actually improving the first 11. If we can get one top player in at least to improve it then its fine as well as improving the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Fair point.I don't understand why Chelsea don't buy two (or even three) English star talents very early and loan them to the 'parent club' for two or three years. Like they did with Courtois at Atletico, allowing the player a stable environment. This English tax is getting out of hand. There are players like Stones outside the PL but they're not English. I do understand the need for English players though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thinking about our youth, have any of our youngsters made a name for themselves in the last decade? Kakuta-flop, Josh-overrated and being found out, Mancience(spelling) don't even know where he is now, Clyne(good enough for Liverpool but not us), Sinclair-journeyman, and others but off the top of my head these are the few of those 'hot' players that everyone thought will be the backbone of our side.Kalas, Christensen and maybe even RLC will head this way unless they prove themselves this season at Chelsea or elsewhere. I mean even Courtois had to be named best La Liga GK for 3 years in a role to even comeback here, what make you think our young players are good enough to be starting for the top 5 club in the world? Let's see if Bamford does a Kane or Sanogo for Palace this season, if it is the latter his chance here is over before it ever really begins and another one of the hopeful youngster gone.It is really annoying this obsession with playing academy players, all it does is give yourself an ego boost and show off to other teams. I mean do you really care if our main striker is Bamford or some African striker? As long as they bang in 20 goals I couldn't careless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean do you really care if our main striker is Bamford or some African striker? As long as they bang in 20 goals I couldn't careless.these were all talented players who did not know where they were going to be next season.young players need grooming. they need mentoring, something which we simply could not provide cos we were busy playing manager-musical chairs. look at kalas. puts in a brilliant performance, loaned out for the season. what is his motivation supposed to be playing for a mid-bottom table german club after being in chelsea first team squad, doing no wrong and getting relegated so immensely.the fact that soooo many talented players with massive potential have turned out to be "flops", means its something wrong with OUR system. there will always be cases like josh where the player and his attitude has been hopeless but most of the share lies with us.now take ake for instance. we sell luis, and now are buying a 21 year old LB. i have not seen baba play but from what people say, he does not seem to be the ideal luis replacement. then why splurge out 15mil when you have ake. where does this leave ake? is he supposed to go on loan to middlesborogh, 2 years after he played a minor part in chelsea's europa campaign. he went to reading and absolutely bossed it. he knows and we all know he is much better than championship level, so what is his motivation going to be when he already knows that he has no chance in hell of making it at chelsea as we have azpi and baba. like i said, the major share of blame has to go on us and how we have managed our youth players. infact, to be honest, i dont think we give a shit about our youth players. kakuta might have been a flop but he was bought for 150k and sold for 3mil pounds. for our board, it will be a good deal. look at that guy "pantic". even before officially saying that he had signed for us, we had loaned him to vitesse. hilarious.
