John Stones

Evertonized · October 5, 2012

Our scouts have been seen at there games a few times before and his name has been mentioned. Could this be a target, or is Coleman a good replacement for when Hibbo eventually becomes too old?

Daily Mail said:
Everton have become the latest club to join the race to sign Barnsley right back John Stones, reports the Mirror.

The 18-year-old has been impressing with his performances at Barnsley, with Manchester City and Chelsea also interested.

Now Everton are also getting involved, with David Moyes sending coach Jimmy Lumsden to a Barnsley game in midweek to watch the rising star.

This would be fantastic popcorn from Moyes.

We've got Coleman, Hibbert and Neville ready to strat now and just bought that McLaughin a month or two back. Another young Right Back who isn't ready for the first team yet seems unneccary.

If he's better than what we've got and costs what we could afford, why not?

Moyes and his staff probably watch players every day of the week though. The reason this gets a mention is that this kid is coming to prominence.

I'm believing nothing until I see it retweeted on Twitter.

Neville is finished, Hibbert ain't far off finishing either and there are question marks about Coleman defensively, so I'd see the sense in looking at right back as an area to improve over the next year or two - but it's not a priority in the immediate term.

Neville and Hibbo won't be around forever, young prospect with great potential. Sign him up for me

Him and Howard have been the two black spots on an otherwise remarkable start to the season. The difference is that Howard will probably come good, whereas Neville is just cack.
