John Stones

[efcfanwirral]

Only game he's struggled in was the derby but he was at right back and had two very unfit centre backs to cover for so it was always going to be a struggle.
I agree with what people have said - he's a great player and adds that extra dimension by contributing to the attack which I haven't seen from an everton defender in years. Not sure I personally have actually being only 27.
The biggest positive for me is that martinez tried to sign him for Wigan when he came to us. Puts my mind at ease with all this talk of 'Martinez can't pick defenders'

Ive yet to see a 19 year old play with so much confidence in his own ability, outstanding player.

 

[RFUS]

Teenage centre backs are meant to be gash. How on earth can he be so good?

I am in awe of him.

 

[toffeejack]

what a bargain, he looked so much more accomplished than distin, he has a massive future. think he deserves to keep his place for the run in.

Should I quote Fox ...again

" one day Stones will be the captain of Everton and England "

 

[Walken]

he's everything that is missing from Distin and jags game, he is the future

 

[Dutch Toffee]

He has proven to be a tremendous signing for us. Still so young and still so much potential to become even better.

Excuse me John would you mind taking control of this ball for me please? If you wouldn't mind stepping past a couple of challenges and dropping it off in behind the opposition fullback for Leighton to run onto that would be great.

 

[Goat]

Thanks David.

ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ JOHN

 

[Goat]

Hes a Browns player for sure.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Underneath that cheeky NEA exterior, lies a competitor...he was made for Everton.

 

[West]

Absolutely staggering how good he is for his age cant think of many centre backs around his age as good. In the same company as Varane, Balanta, Marquhous and Zouma IMO.

That was a great moment. Two defenders attacking. Love it. More than just the left back too - it's Roberto's 'expressing themselves' thing and it totally works

Got a text from a utd fan during the game, i had been bigging up stones over the past few months.

He said "f$ck baines, we should break the bank for that stones lad, gonna be a superstar"
