Hi, Barnsley fan here firstly i would like to make comment on how well you lot are doing, really enjoy watching your games on tv... And secondly i was just wondering what you are all thinking of Stonesy? I see highlights now and again and he always looks well. I was a really big fan of his while he was at Oakwell, but knew he wouldn't be around for long. In my opinion i knew he could make it at the top level. From what i have seen of him in a blue shirt he looks a class act.

Hi mate, good to see a Barnsley fan posting on here. If you scroll down a bit we have a massive thread about Stones where you can talk about the boy wonder with is all there if you want. He's top drawer mate, great head on his shoulders and future England material
 
With him and Barkley we potentially have our versions of Terry/Lampard, Carragher/Gerrard (but both with the potential to be better than any of them). Seriously the rest of the prem must be looking at these two enviously. Never mind Coleman and McCarthy.

Welcome mate, I think he's really bold as a defender.

Pure boss, not sure about your bold text though.

Who is better as 4th choice CB? Jags and Cahill will go and probably Jones. Smalling has looked gash, Dawson is too slow, Lescott never plays. I'd take him.

Got anymore like him? He's the best defensive prospect in the country by a mile, so much so that Arsenal want him!!
 

I wish we had more like him. If we had we may not be in the position we are.... I think he is better than phil jones and smalling now, would definitely take him to Brazil if i was in Woy's position.

The last thing we need is him knocking around Brazil with that lot and their chav agents. I will be delighted for him to have the summer off with feety up watching the world cup and ready and raring to go for a big year of champions league and premier league football.

He is still a young lad and it would be very unfair to put a weight of expectation on him - how many english kids have we seen built in the press only to then be pilloried when they have an inevitable bad spell?

However it is really hard not to rave about him, he is playing with such skill and style it is a joy to watch. Not sure if you have seen this video of his game vs Fulham, sums up his versatility in both getting forward and in defending.

Thanks very much to Barnsley and your academy, he is doing you proud

I'm watching that in a trance.
 
He is the best young CB in England from my point of view, there isn't 1 other U21 CB in England who i would want over him at this moment in time and tbh there isn't many in world football.

Varane, Marquinhos, Zouma all around the same age as Stones and have had big money transfers, other than Varane (well at least last season) i wouldn't take any of them over Stones in current form.

For me personally you could tell almost instantly from the Juventus game in pre season that we had a player on our hands capable of taking on the elite level of footballers and hes just constantly progressing. I also love the fact that i don't really remember him making a defensive mistake yet, the mistakes he has made is from trying to play too much which for a young player is expected anyway or from misjudgements due to a lack of experience e.g. letting the ball bounce before heading (which he still recovered from)
