John Stones

[g180aj]

Denayer is a RB. People need to get over the position he played as a youth. As an adult, he'll be a RB

He played as a right back Gala last season but Celtic, Belguim and us he plays as a centre back so why would 1 season make him a right back?

He's a had a poor season overall, don't really rate him.

Don't see that at all.... Centre half all day to me...

Oh, Stones didn't play last night and we keep a clean sheet. Don't say the evidence isn't there... ;)

Stones was brilliant against Australia and the only reason we conceded is because Dier is a fool.

Watch his games in Turkey, if they didn't tell you he played RB for City as a youth, you'd think RB was his natural position. It very well may be that it is. He is not exceptionally big for the position. Frankly, he might be slightly small as a CB in the Prem anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I think he'll get games there. May even play there more initially but looks a centre half to me longer term...

Obviously this is for Vardy, but I'd imagine similar for Stones? Hope we wrap it up soon.

apparently Everton have upwards of £100m to spend this summer! I know they have new investment now but I can see the £100m being generated from the stones and lukaku sales alone! I also think there pursuit of koeman tells its own tale! I think they've gone for him and told him they're intending to sell stones and lukaku but he'll have the lot to re-invest! Everton want him because he has overseen Southampton selling their best players and still managed to make progress in the league!

This is quite interesting. I think Lukaku is an average player, and many here think Stones is poor. It will be in testing to see Everton make 100 euros on those 2 and have Koeman reinvest it. I think he is pretty shrewd buyer.

Don't thinkb1 season makes him a RB, I just think he is better at it. Just like Ivanovic at Chelsea. He was a CB who who could play RB. But with time they realized he is simply a better RB than he is a CB. I think the same will be true for Denayer.

As time went by, they realised he was just as slow and cumbersome in both positions.

another bang average england international to add to the collect ion we have have or have had (with the exception of Joe Hart and sterling)

Delphi - poor
milner - a work horse but nothing else
Stones - no better than any centre half we currently have (with the exception of Mdm)
Wiltshire (if he is a target) - complete sick note

I cant think of one england player either recent or int he current squad that I would have

Barry was excellent for us and AJ had his moments.

Current England internationals, personally I would have Delli Ali any day of the week think he is going to be a great player.
Kane is not a player we need but is definitely a top 4 player. If he gets fully fit I think Shaw will be a very good left back and the other two would be a step up on Kolarov and I would take Walker over our current right backs as well.
