joeyt Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 No thank you, we have better defenders at the club now If we're continuing with centre backs taking throw ins he would be a good option. Our goals would just be a stones throw away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I'll pass on Stones like. Although it was the first beer I ever tried when I was about 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Not the biggest stones fan, but if he’s available for £40m, wants to come and we want him then I’d be very happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Not the biggest stones fan, but if he’s available for £40m, wants to come and we want him then I’d be very happy. Depends how we would plan to set up I guess, 3 at the back then maybe... he'd be in contention with Lejeune though because there's no way he gets in ahead of Schar and you need a Fede/Lascelles type in there too.

GWN Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Stones is a poor defender. Schar and Lejeune both better. Agree, Stones is overrated yet when I first saw him live when Everton played us he was very young but fucking terrific Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Gonna keep the homegrown quota up too though, and £40m is nothing for an England international. We should sign Foden too though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I'm not a fan of him but it's much easier to defend when you play like us than when you play for a team like Man City that leaves you exposed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Not the biggest stones fan, but if he’s available for £40m, wants to come and we want him then I’d be very happy. Good grief. Have you actually watched him play these last two seasons? He's regressed enormously. City even resorted to putting g a midfielder in his position rather than play him.

Guest Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 People turning their noses up at Stones. I like our defenders but he’d be a step above any CB we’ve had after Woodgate in memory. If we’re going to be the sort of club who are going to start spending the money, we’re clearly going to be looking to challenge top 4. Someone who can play like him will be huge in games we’re trying to open up a team like how we set up now for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I'd take Stones like, he'd be decent backup for Lejeune and Schar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re pretty good in terms of cbs. We need so many players I really wouldn’t bother thinking about new cbs for a while. Yes we can do better, but they’re fine for now.

Alberto2005 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I would say he's no better than Lascelles or Schar in terms of defending. He's better on the ball than Lascelles and probably has more potential than both of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
