John Stones

[mglennon]

although different positions, Stones I think will become a better player than Barkley in yrs to come

 

[TheFinnFan]

Have to get him signed up.
To be honest I don't think he'd leave anyway myself, why would he?

he already has long contract doesnt he

 

[Zatara]

Actually needs a long term partner next to him.

Thats obviously not Distin or Alcaraz -- Jagielka would be the senior centre back but another needed, if thats browning, duffy or a new signing who knows.

 

[Superhans1878]

If I caught him goosing my bird I'd make her do all the work so he didn't pull anything

 

[FTY]

Tell you what good win for him last night, Teixiera's no slouch and to go and fight him at his own game...class.

On football focus today. Hope he gets a rest in the summer; as opposed to getting splinters in his backside out in Brazil.

 

[Blue Cheese]

I think he should be called Flint from now on John-Flint-Stones and yes i did steal it from the cartoon based thread

 

[Tel001]

Will be the best English cb of his generation ... IMO

 

[Baines' left foot]

If Barca are being reportedly prepared to pay £30m for Laporte, Bilbao's 19 year old centre back, then Stones should be worth that too. At least.

Just seen Stonesy on Football Focus, very level headed lad, sound as.

...speak for yourself, splinters in his backside in Brazil will mean my 66-1 bet is up that he goes!!!

...missed it, did they mention him getting called up for England?

Focus was on us, there was a replay of Lawro saying he should get a call up.

He's gonna practice his passing by playing long balls to Europe that fly in the exact same direction and speed as the plane our squad are travelling on. Both the ball and the plane shall land in the same spot at the same time and halt at the exact same spot on the tarmac. Such is his range of passing.

He can also play a one two off The Alps if need be.

I know theres been a lot of discussion about who should partner jags next year, but in my opinion the question should be who partners john stones, he should be our first choice next year, hes our most complete defender we have.


Personally Id probably lean towards sylvain cos of his pace and power and he seems to have a good understanding with stones. But jags is captain so im sure he'll be first choice
