Ok,ta.He seems to lack concentration and can find himself badly out of position some of the times I have seen him.Another knock it around the back but cant defend merchant.Dont think hes good value either if over 25m.
I said the same about Mangala before we signed him based on his inconsistency but after the Chelsea debut hoped I was wrong.
That said,I also didnt want Stones but he has proved to be much better than I thought.Think he just suffers from having poor full backs around him as Ota does.
The only times i've seen enough to judge him.......he's shown good strength,decent technical ability and very good awareness.He looks an intelligent player who is very happy to have the ball at his feet,him and Stones could be very complimentary.
As you state though,any centre half would suffer with our current full back options.
