Sell cleverly and McCarthy instead
He's only 19, that's what your average 19 year old Scot looks like though, sad really.

Tell you what, he doesn't look far off being announced on the 'Dead thread' on here.

Welcome back Wayne
First thing I've agreed with that Martin Samuel......
Koeman is perfect for Stones
John Stones wasn’t born when Ronald Koeman enjoyed his peak years: 1984-94, four Dutch titles, four Spanish titles and the winning goal in a European Cup final.
Stones was born on May 28, 1994 — Koeman won his final La Liga title two weeks earlier. Still, there is plenty of footage available of one of the finest defender-sweeper-midfielders the European game has produced, not least a five-minute compilation of sublime passes on YouTube that depicts everything Stones aspires to be. So why leave Everton this summer? Stay and learn from the master. Stones has the ability to step up, or back, from his central defensive role — or the potential to be a rock at centre half.

Koeman was all of those things, and more — he was joint top scorer in the 1993-94 Champions League, with eight goals. Stones needs the schooling that he appears to have missed with Roberto Martinez and it is no coincidence that, even in the brief time he spent building up for the European Championship with England, he already appeared more solid defensively.
With Koeman arriving it is no longer a prerequisite of Stones’s development that he leaves Goodison Park.
He is wanted by Chelsea and Manchester City, and Antonio Conte and Pep Guardiola clearly know how to coach defenders, too. But will Stones get regular games for those clubs, even with a fee pushing £40million? He will play at Everton and be playing for a man who was magnificent in his position. Koeman could drive Stones and Everton to new heights in the Premier League; he could make him one of the finest defenders in Europe. All Stones has to do is watch, listen and learn.

Surely there many "creative" ways around this issue though, City obviously being the major example. PSG have done it via crazy deals and so have Chelsea, see David Luiz's move, mental.
I for one can't see us selling one of our better players for this reason, counter productive in my opinion.

Absolute miracle that he's not dead yet.
Should be applauded for that.
Just look at the state of him, he looks like a heart attack.
