John Stones

[bflefc]

Clear international prospect. He could end up being a towering CB.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Scary good that kid.

 

[Yard Dog]

He is pure quality, and it's great to watch him. He's not phased by anything.

 

[flibbyflob]

It terrifies me how good he's going to be, and already is. He's playing as well as any of our centre backs have this season and we've got seasoned internationals to compare him against.

If he would have got in the team a couple of months earlier he would be going to Brazil this summer.

He may yet anyway if we get a few injuries which usually happens. I'd not worry if he was picked.

 

[BoysInBlue]

First choice centre half for me now.

The decision should be who partners him.

He's starting to cut out those judgement errors when the balls in the air the past 3 games as well mate, that was the only part of his game that he struggled with, very very fast learner like, and technically as good as anyone we have, then again we both rated him straight away so we are the cool kids

I agree mate, Imagine if Browning is as good as the manager seems to think he is as well, could have the starting england centre backs playing at goodsion for ten years

......he was always a CB playing at RB. It was recognised when he signed that he was a CB, although he had been learning his trade at RB. Regardless, what a prospect. Amazed nobody is talking him up for England.

Collymore just did. Said Woy should take him to at least the friendly game against Peru.

That paneca vs Valencia told a massive amount about the lad tbh in the pre season mate, the type of thing a lad at that age just doesn't ever do

Supremely confident in how good he is but is learning all the time

 

[chicoazul]

He develops in a matter of weeks, not years. Did you see him though? Christ, he literally does what he wants with the ball moving forward like a mutation of the Predator fused with a gazelle.

And he's boss at defending.

 

[magicjuan]

Some will have a hissy fit, but I reckon Stones could be up there with Labone in a few years time.
Labone's strength, odd famous quote aside, was being unfazed by who he faced, Stones is the same at 19 years old. No names or personalities have fazed him so far. Just experience he is missing from his education.
Absolute bargain for what we paid for him.

 

[hibbos left peg]

play him in midfield and he might turn out like Phil Jones.

no thanks

 

[ijjysmith]

He's not really a right back though is he?

Let's be honest.

 

[Eggs]

.....wow, that would make my 66-1 bet on him making the squad very interesting. Glad Woy was there today.

 

[chicoazul]

He's only 19 too.

Ban him. Ban him now for the good of football. He's just gonna be too ace. He'll ruin forwards and then stride through midfields like they don't exist.

Get Hibbert at centre half NOW.
