Rumoured John Stones

[OneMoSalah 8,888]

He isn't far off Cahill already. Many would prefer him to start for England over him.

Well those many who would prefer him are obviously daft. Seeing as how Stones has featured more as a right back for England than a center back when guys like Jagielka and Jones play much more regularly in that position than him... also have you considered Cahill is the best English CB that is picked for England.... Stones isn't even better than Chris Smalling who is another one who has he has improved significantly under van Gaal this year.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

would love it if we signed him, besides his potential, having England's 3 Best CBs would be a nice perk too.

The 'passing of the torch' (if you want to romanticize it) would be pretty fitting from JT to Stones.

And all four of them are brilliant centrebacks

"English players I want to see in future Chelsea's starting XI are Solanke, Colkett, RLC and Abraham"

Starting XI is not only CB position.

We have Christensen and Zouma, more potential than Stones.

rumour is everton are looking £30m english players are so overpriced

Have you ever seen Stones playing? He is on the same level as Zouma is. CBs duo in shape of them both looks very bright in future.

What size is Stones's pocket? It have Aguero, Sterling, Fellaini, Rooney, Kane, isn't it?

Nope nope nope nope nope

There must be experience and leadership within CB's, it's the reason that when Terry retires in the next 1-3 seasons Ivanovic-Cahill/Zouma will be more likely than Zouma-Cahill as Cahill only plays well next to a Cb who tells him what to do, which is why he under performs for England and when Terry is rested.

Stones-Zouma would make too many mistakes.

But but there are so many on here who think Zouma-Varane would work...

Varane might be more experienced than Stones, but he is still 22 and even playing for Real or in cl final wont be equal of having years and years experience, not to mention stronger mentality.

Imo it will be either Zouma/Varane/Stones plus experienced CB and then in few years, maybe we will see two of these three play together.

[Siwy_CFC 7]

Stones-Zouma would make too many mistakes.

I mean not now but in future. I know that such a young pair in centre defence won't work at all. But if we sign him now and send on loan for 2 seasons to team in BPL and let him become experienced player.

[the wes 7,212]

if we cant get varane stones would be my 2nd choice to buy but i can see everton playing hard ball in buying him tho

[the wes 7,212]

with JT experience and mourinho managing skills chelsea could turn john stones into a world class centre back

BREAKING NEWS: TOFFEES REJECT STONES BID

Everton have turned down a £20m offer from Chelsea for defender John Stones, according to Sky sources.

[lucio 5,418]

wow, we will probably get him, if we already bid £20m first time. chuck in cahill to the bid.

[DavidEU 2,023]

They're apparently trying to sign Johnny Evans for £8m. Whether as a replacement or not who knows?

Though I wouldn't want to be paying anything more than that £20m to be honest.

[xPetrCechx 13,578]

[Diego 433]

Finally some proper transfer news! From the little ive seen of stones he looks like he has a great future. On the Evans thing I had assumed he was replacing Distin who went to Bournemouth

[Toli 977]

20m already a lot of money for him. Dont know how much Everton would want, but 25 m would be the maximum for me. Has potential, but hasnt proven himself much yet. Of course the homegrown factor is important and I could see Everton demanding lots of bucks for him.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Well, more than Chelsea bid for Stones pleases me the fact that they bid for a centre-back. So they see the problem.

Probably it's repercussion after Everton agreed the deal for Evans, though Di Marzio reported that Chelsea are indeed interest in Stones a few months ago.

[Leif 6,006]

Now i'm finally starting to feel sick at these inflated fees. It pisses me off justifying tens of millions on a player because he 'has a bright future'. I want a player who is bright now for that sort of money.

Or you know.

Just get one of the many Spanish defenders on the come-up right now who'd cost half as much, and are already performing at an equal if not better level.

Dammit i wish i liked tennis instead of football.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Just think though... Yokohama are paying for him
