Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Would anyone be surprised if it's not necessarily always Cahill who makes way in some games if Stones is brought in? I could see Terry being rested and a Stones/Cahill partnership against more mobile and athletic sides.Can't see it, cannot see Mourinho touching that back line barring a long term injury/a complete disaster, just far too stubborn for me. I've just said that the two players we want in Stones and Baba will arrive to sit on the bench, so if the prices are a rough guideline then it's 45-50M for back ups.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I want Stones and Zouma to become starters. Let em make mistakes. Fuck it. Develop them cause we need better 1 on 1 centre backs for the future. And I want that future to be as early as next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 34, going on 35 this year. Would we get the best out of him by rotating him maybe once in a while? I think, yes. Cahill and Stones are younger, more athletic and would not be surprised. I can see both CB being rotated if Stones comes in although it would be risky. But as good as Terry is, we have to remember he isn't getting any younger.

I have my doubts that Terry will be able to play 38 PL matches, a bunch of CL matches, plus every other competition again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circumstance however means that few, if any, of us have ever had, or ever will have, the chance to put that judgement to the test. Jose of course has had the chance and it must be fair to say that he's done OK. I don't therefore think it's reasonable for any of us to characterise Jose as stubborn on those occasions when he chooses to back his own judgement. Whatever right any of us has to believe in our own opinions about football, Jose surely has that same right, multiplied a few times over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Terry would still play the big games, but against smaller teams Mou could begin grooming Stones/Zouma for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 42m€, that's the cost of prime Thiago Silva in 2012.We could land Arturo Vidal for that and improve the first XI infinitely.Dunno, if we wait for Pogba/Koke kind of signing next summer due to theirs unavailability this time, then signing Stones now and be done with CB for years is a smart move, I'm all for that, but if we hamper our chances of strengthening in midfield by spending big here I think it's stupid. Having said that, doubt that's the case.As Martinez said, they want to sign 3 new players by the end of the month and Bill Kenwright is really unwilling to make funds available (I read the last part on Everton page). They still pay up for Lukaku and selling Stones for big seems the way to have funds in this window - I'm confident we will sign Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with the lack of top cb's it will probably cost more than 42m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
