John Stones transfer saga

[The Equaliser]

Having seen the game again yes he could have done better with both goals, but there was plenty of class in his performance today. He certainly did not look like a player who wants out of the door in a few weeks.

The problem is that we don't defend properly as a unit despite playing 2 DMs. There is no cohesion and we get pulled apart far too easily at the back. We don't close down and have difficulty dealing with high balls. This could be because we don't work on these things.

I wish Stones was part of a solid defensive unit which would greatly enhance his chances of staying put.

Absolutely love John Stones, good player with the potential to be world class. Have got to say that after today, I would run as quick as I could to join Chelsea….weve got nothing in our locker....absolutely nothing

Not sure the guy in your username would approve of such cowardly behaviour as running off to Chelsea after the first game of the season.

Rubbish comment his capt along side him fared no better, on that performance you would sell eight players!

I honestly don't think I've ever seen such a campaign by the papers and pundits to try and sell a player like I have with John stones now. It's getting beyond a joke

Lineker on MOTD there. Disgraceful from an ex blue

My lad was saying supposedly Shearer is now joining in the 'Stones to Chelsea' campaign. Don't know if my lad just heard it wrong, but he was saying Shearer was saying something along the lines of Stones should go to Chelsea even if it means sitting on the bench, because he can watch John Terry.

Yes sort off only if Everton want to sell him that is - BBC pundits at their worst!

He still played for us. That's besides the point. What's he doing asking the panal who John stones should join? He's not his to sell and he doesn't pay his wages

Yes disrespectful to our England international in Jags, yes go to Chelski, and get splinters on your backside on the bench, Stones should have to wear earplugs till Sept the 1St!

Asked Shearer and murphy who he should join basically

One season won nothing the cleared off, rejoined picked Spurs over us - we won the championship when he left us for Barca!

Would he say that if Chelski were after Harry Kane?.??

Yes it was the 'play for the best manager in the league and learn from the best PL defender ever' bit that was nauseating.

"Only if Everton want to sell" of course. LOL. Could have come right out of Mourinho's own mouth that.
