The fact is he actually is a brilliant young player with all the tools to be a top bracket player.

A few years ago English players did get a lot of unjustified hype but now it's gone too far the other way and people don't even want to rate English players it seems.

For me he is the best young defender save for Varane and the Frenchman is well out of reach.

English players still get alot of unjustified hype but anyone with a brain can tell Stones is the real deal just like Sterling was.

Stones is a completely different sort of CB compared to Zouma. Stones can also play RB very competently.

In fact, we could easily play something like:

Azpi - JT - Zouma - Stones. Or partner up Zouma and Stones in some games because they're both mature enough. They complement each other very well.

For me, John Stones isn't a signing for just now. It's an astute signing for the future. The Zouma - Stones partnership could be amazing in the future.

zouma and stones partnership would be awesome they would remind of desailly and baresi in defence for ac milan in the early 90's

He'll be our Sterling or Shaw.

In a couple years time (or sooner) they'll be talked about as the best players in their positions in England.

Well worth the price.

Shaw, Sterling, Stones and whoever came through in the academy, could have been the HG/English core sorted for another decade, 1 out of 3 is a start tho

We would've been sorted for the next decade. Penny pinching cost us badly.

Kind of arrogant/naive to assume they'd all want to join Chelsea.

As much as we fans go on about young players and their potential, we must remember there are no guarantees. If we were to go back in time five years, looked at the hottest talents of the time, you'd notice a large portion did not live up to the expectations. I'd say the majority even.
