John Stones

[hobo]

My first impressions of Stones and Alcaraz are brilliant. They are only first impressions mind. Even so their distribution and confidence on the ball so far has been very impressive.

 

[Fuleco]

Stones fancies himself as a bit of player. Looked like a young Rio Ferdinand.

I know having ball playing centre backs is the future, but I'm still getting used to it and panic when one of our defenders takes more than 3 touches!

I wonder if the form of Stones and Alcaraz will make Martinez consider going to 3 at the back.

Stones and alcaraz can do it though mate, were used to club footed out an out defenders

Every time I've seen Stones I've been massively impressed. The lad just oozes class and doesn't look fazed by anything.

 

[Brennan]

Stones and Alcaraz are an example of the future of our back line. Distin while a great servant for us the past few years is not in keeping with the Martinez method. Every player must be comfortable on the ball.

Depending on the forward line up of the opposition, can see a lot of jags-stones or jags-alcaraz selections this year tbh

The definition of BOSS.

He's like a cross between Bobby Moore, Baresi, Passarella and Zinedine Zidane

Genuinely believe we have England's very top prospects at centre-half and attacking midfield in our squad at the moment. It's a massively exciting time for us when you consider the core of the team - Stones, McCarthy, Barkley are top, top drawer.

It's such a shame Lukaku is going back as he would have completed the set for me. If he stayed and we built a side around those four, two years from now we'd be contenders for major honours IMO.

I have massive hopes that Lundstram develops the way he looks like he could do as well mate, having a core of him, barkley, mccarthy and stones would be immense

Just watched his interview on the efc website, seems a smashing kid

 

[Furey1878]

Please, someone make a gif of his slide tackle. Twas brilliant.
