So calm.
Big Sam should play him as a DM for England where his passing abilities will actually be used.
 
So impressed with him. I knew he could be great, but after a very indifferent season, I wasn't sure what we'd see initially. But, he is the absolute "dog's!"

The way he brings the ball out of defence - honestly - he's almost as good as Baresi - or even Rio Ferdinand!


(Course I'm fuckin' joking! How could he ever be as good as camelgob.)

Hi Evertonian here. Have waited a week or two to sign up and post about Stones. First thing to say as many of you are now realising Stones is an absolute Rolls Royce of a player and whilst prone to the odd error has been a pleasure to watch, the reason I go to footy is to enjoy the talents of players like this. Biggest compliment I can give him is he is the nearest thing to Alan Hansen since.... well Alan Hansen! I know relations between Everton and City have been strained over the years but I wish him ( and yourselves)well and will hope he turns into the player he should, yours and England's captain. Like Rooney for 30 mill in 10-12 years time the money you have spent on him will look an absolute bargain - we just need to spend it well! He will make mistakes ( like all players) but his talent and style of play is worth it. Good luck for the title, as it is defo between you and the rags - and there's only one winner there for me and most fans. Enjoy the lad - one day hopefully we will live the dream that you all are- I can imagine that you can still hardly believe your luck of the last 5-6 years after the horrors of the 80's and 90's and 00's

Thanks for that, and welcome to the forum. I always liked Everton and not sure why our wider fanbases seem to dislike each other so much!

Cheers - similar attitude to myself. Can understand us hating the reds of both cities but not each other, think Lescott saga soured things on our part- but we got a good deal and he won things so can't blame him. As said before don't begrudge you lot any success tbh if it makes United fans pipe down then it can only be good for football!! Back to Stones he was a joy to watch, stayed professional after the Chelsea interest and will be an outstanding signing. Personally think he would also be excellent in defensive midfield but if he defends stronger than he did last year ( thinking of the semi at you place last season!) then he is a quality CB.

I think Everton will have a good season under Koeman. Lukaku seems happy despite some big bids and that bodes well. I don't think he's improved much since he came, but he might do now under Koeman.
 
this fella is going to captain us to become the best team in the land and all the world.










not that we weren't already, of course.
