John 'Stones' Stones

 

[Portland Toffee]

Thought He was absolutely brilliant. Man of the match for me. His composure, speed and that last ditch tackle were good enough, then that amazing pen. So much creativity rinning through the side right now. Barkley also looked great for the short time he was on and took a boss pen.

Can't wait for LA game now, hope we take this attitude to Norwich and tonk them. Last years try and hold on tactics cost us there.

Apparently Alcaraz is to have a hernia operation and will miss the start of the season.

Think Stones will definitely get some game time, especially if Martinez goes with the 3 at the back

 

[TX Bill]

Fantastic performance !!!

Made up to see people crediting Moyes for the signing. The scouts deserve no credit at all, at least that's the way it seems because no one gives them any.

 

[Neiler]

Very highly rated i believe.

 

[mezzrow]

The surname is apt. Great stuff from the youngster.

More, please.

But the scouts don't decide whether we sign the player do they?

They present a scout report to the manager, the manager probably watches some clips and says whether they should go in for him or not. So yes while the scouting should be credited, ultimately it was Moyes who made this lad an Everton player.

I think he's just saying that it seems like they haven't gotten enough credit, not that they deserve all of it. He's just pointing out that it wasn't all Moyes' doing.

Stones was on the radar of few clubs, that's why Wigan also had a bit accepted. Stones held talks with them but chose us, he said this at the time. The fact Martinez went for him bodes well for all concerned

looks to be a great signing, showed good poise and potential. hopefully he keeps it up!

 

[macdog]

So when will we see the "United bid for Stones" etc headlines? Never, I hope. Keep your hands off, Mr Moyes.

Yeah, I think the thing I love most about him is his confidence. Confident in his skills, but not too much so. Very rarely do you see a good head on a 19yo.

Moyes' dad you mean ?

Exactly. He looked very composed on the ball when pressured and seemed quite relaxed taking his pen. He should easily get some games this season, especially when Martinez opts to go 3 atb
