supporter 3,088 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Don't think he would block Zouma's path. Zouma is just as good and probably has a brighter future. I think Jose was pretty clear with his trust in Kurt last season with the way he used him in big games and the run of games he gave him during Cahill's absolute nightmare period of the season.I havn't watched Stones so may I ask if he is a proactive defender or not? If yes I'm all in.Hi friend!Yeah, I think Zouma has a future with us unquestionable. In fact, if it were up to me, Zouma had been in our starting eleven since mid-January.But Jose has continued to bet on Cahill (which is frustrating to me) and I am afraid that we will start at the beginning of the season with Cahill - John Terry (c) as our main Centre-backs. And I think that would be a mistake.If it were up to me I would bet on Zouma as indistutible from the first day of the preseason. And if we signed him Stones, he, Zouma and Terry would have to fight for two places in the starting eleven.Another important factor About John Stones is that he can play as right-back for emergencies or to rest Ivanovic. And Jose would normally like the versatile players.To me Stones is a proactive player. A player with capabilities to take a similar role as John Terrybut with better exit of ball from behind.But I just bet on him if it does not mean stopping the evolution of Zouma, because Stones is a good option for the future, especially for the future. Zouma and Stones could complement perfectly between the two.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despiadado.Maleante 1,046 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Him and Zouma would make a great combination. Both styles will complement each other. I don't give a fuk how much we spend on him, were fukin loaded and ffp is relaxed now anyway/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blu35_army 551 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 for this stats, he only worth max 25 mil pounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 One of the best possible transfers right now. Young, with two full seasons in a good PL team where he has shown not only promise but current capability. I would seriously not mind him being bought for up to £30m, we are talking about a player that could be a rock in the defence for over 10 years. He would also complement Zouma in the future, as he is the better one with the ball at his feet. I feel that he in many ways is like a younger and slightly quicker version of Terry.Zouma - Stones would in my opinion be the best young centre-back pairing in the world.

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Ok for arguement's sake lets say the Yokohama money is our transfer budget. To chuck most of it on a young player is complete folly especially as even with Kalas and Christensen on loan there's Zouma who looks really promising. Ivan can go back to centre half if needed and there's Cahill and Terry. If we are to do anything this season especially in Europe what we need is experienced players and we need a right winger badly SWP, Salah, Schurrle, Cuadrado, Mourinho seems to have a blind spot where wingers are concerned.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Funny to say most people thought 30m for Shaw was overpriced but same or more for Stones isn't haha, why? Because he is a CB and not LB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we ended the window with Bego, Falcao, Stones or another defender, Witsel, Pedro. I'd not be at all surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,423 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 £30m max for Stones I feel Everton will try and recoup some of that Lukaku money haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Stones and Zouma would be amazing future CB pair, but I just dont see how will Mou include both in squad at same time and remain competitive on all fronts.Those two have to play alot in order to improve.

Because he is a CB and not LB?Never understood the hype on Shaw to be honest back then I would have kept Bertrand when we were linked to him to be honest he was decent going forward but nothing special Gibbs is better attacking fullback than Shaw but lesser of the two defensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi1691 255 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Everton supporters are so deluded, they are demanding 40-50 for stones on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,994 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 at all the Everton fans on Twitter and ToffeeTalk saying "£20m? They can double that and we'll talk!" Or "if David Luiz was £50m then we should demand at least that for Stones."It's funny, many Chelsea fans think paying over £20m is ridiculous while all the Everton fans think it's a derisory amount.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 English, young and has about a couple of years experience.Therefore Everton will try and get as much money out of us as possible.Would have prefered to have kept Kalas, who is also versatile and shown how good he is, then spend £30million+ on Stone.

didierforever 7,349 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 what we can do is not overpay right now. wait for atleast a season, let the stones hype fall down (since the media and fans WILL get someone new to hype next season) and then buy him for a sane sum. 20mil for stones is 5 mil too much and that bid got rejected. LOL.no need to buy since we have 4 CBs who are better than him in our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
