Good job we still have Dier playing for our reserves eh ladsKeane's 22....strange choice in any case as he didnt seem to do much at Burnley...
Also Stones is already an England International, so...

All I know is if Sterling is worth £49m we should come out of this alright. I know defenders don't command the same fees as attackers but no player is bigger than the club, if his head gets turned (and why wouldn't it) then just get the best price and move on.
No club is immune from it. Suarez, Ronaldo, Fabregas, it happens as the highest levels.
The lad's top class and I'd love to keep him, but only if his hearts here.
Pretty much the same squad who just 12 months ago had finished 5th in the league?And a squad half full of average footballers for me...
Lukaku didn't a year ago and for much the same reasons as I can see John not pushing for the move - at that age regular playing time in a team he is happy in can be more valuable to an ambitious player than cash is.
morning toffees Chelsea fan here. Listen I don't get it, when we bid for a player from another club the manager gets the hump and slates us. Why ? Peter cech goes with our best wishes, juan mata goes to one of our closest rivals with no problem. What's the deal here why when we bid for a player it's a Liberty, thought please ladies and gents.Kinell.
Jose is the greatest manager of our generation, who can blame him for wanting John Stones.
He is not daft,Stones is by far the best player at our club.
Wanting him...no problem. Who wouldn't, he is excellent.
Unsettling him so publicly etc...... Not so classy.
no..the one that 2 months ago finished wherever it finished..Pretty much the same squad who just 12 months ago had finished 5th in the league?
Agree, Stones is the type of lad who will consider their experiences rather than just assuming it couldn't happen to him. Guess he'll also have looked at Zouma's game time last season (650 mins in PL, some of it out of position as DM), Ake's 18 minutes and Kalas's one superb game vs Liverpool before being shipped off abroad.We have the benefit of the likes of Deulofeu and Lukaku on our books, two widely tipped world beaters who having had a slight wobble in consistency, get pushed well down the pecking order at money bags clubs. Chelsea have payed good sums for talented kids, promising them development time, and then binned them off for a profit, destroying a few careers in the process.
Stones should not be moving to become 'the next John Terry', or whatever other patronising moniker the media wants to anoint him with,
he should go, if we cannot match his ambitions further down the line, as John Stones, England Captain.
I love his snide media games but when he plays with us, it is kind of upsetting.
However I don't expect Martinez to participate in Jose's antics.
Wanting him...no problem. Who wouldn't, he is excellent.
Unsettling him so publicly etc...... Not so classy.
