John Stones

Would be delighted to see him used at centrehalf this season.

Ship out Johnny the phoney before he runs down his contract and allow Stones to step up with Alcaraz as security.
 
The Jags-Distin partnership has been a bedrock for us for a long time and right through preseason. I can't see him dislodging Coleman if we play 4 at the back either. He's looked very comfortable when we've used wing backs though and might get some chances there.

more likely to play on the right of a 3 if we play 3 at the back. also must be ahead of hibbo now as colemans back up.

Couldn't agree more. Our talented youngsters should be getting more minutes.
 

....I remember Mark Lawrenson saying Moyes had identified 3 right backs in the lower leagues that he thought were premiership standard. The fact he went for Stones has always made me think he could be something special and the more I see him the more convinced I become. If right back is his position I suspect that it wont be long before Coleman has to make way (and I appreciate how decent Seamus is).

I don't think so, Seamus is a fantastic right back and will be for years to come. I can see Stones developing into a class center back (certainly if we play a back three) more so than a right back personally.

I'd be surprised if Seamus misses any games this season unless he is rested in the cup on gets a knock.
