Player Valuation: £35m
….i’m old and quite a few years ago declared John Stones the best CB I’ve seen during my time watching Everton but I’m not so sure now.
Branthwaite is defensively much better than Stones was and better in the air. He doesn't have the absolute class on the ball that Stones had which is why Pep wanted him, but he has other strengths and isn't bad at all on the ball either.
Stones was made for a Pep-type system. Branthwaite is more of a conventional centre back, but he's also destined for great things. Just hope we aren't forced to sell him for less than his worth this summer
