Stones? Rated? By who?



stones high price was due to English tax not due to ability

I don't even rate stones honestly because he is not my type of defender but he is a brilliant ball playing centre back useful for possession oriented teams.He was highly rated at Everton and at a point the best centre back outside the top6 teams.

Kimbeast:

At that time of the transfer it was still a crazy amount Liverpool are lucky he has delivered. £75Million for a player not top5 in his position in the league was ridiculous.
If you take stones fee into context you will realize he went for a descent amount. Young English ball playing centre back Coming from having a great season with Everton and you know England players with all the hype. I even dare say Van dijk never had a season at Southampton comparable to stones at Everton and stones was rated higher or maybe hyped more. After Van dijk transfer 2 keepers immediately went for £70million+, 2 defenders have now also passed the £70million mark. I bet you be4 the next 2yrs we will have the first 100million defender.

Van Dijk was Southampton's best player of 2015/2016, he also achieved such at Celtic, so he wasn't coming from nowhere. There's nothing like luck in what Klopp did, Conte also saw what I saw in him that many didn't see, because he was playing for one small team.

If you say you didn't watch him well, then I may excuse you. When I tipped him to be bought by Chelsea at 60m I wasn't mad.

Mapoka:


On the 14th, which is on Wednesday

Thanks man.

Kimbeast:

How can that be when even the best centre back at Southampton was Yoshida not van dijk.

Yo who?

Yoshida that hasn't been first choice for the last 5 seasons at Soton?

Even when they played 3 at the back under their last 2 managers?


Where do they find these posters from sef? As in where did you come from?

Stones is not even brilliant at playing the ball.

I don't know if you really watched Stones play because even the passing no follow.

Imagine spending 50m on a brilliant ball player but preferring to play a 33 year old 5'8 cm in defence ahead of your guy

You must be joking lol. This is such a clownish opinion. Stones is arguably the best ball playing centre back in England only David Luiz comes close. Pep said he will use him as an option in centre back since kompany left and they have no replacement like he did with Martinez at Bayern and other countless players pep had converted to other positions like alaba,lahm etc That's just pep nothing to do with Stones.

Unlimited22 abeg check your mail. Thanks

Seen and replied, boss.

Kimbeast:

What's the difference and why should they be treated differently?

if Chelsea were to be a spanish club, bakayoko maybe having 150m as his buyout price. One desperate club can come and pay the money just so they can have a midfielder. In that case, no market value or club valuation came into play, Just triggering of contract clause.

So, when you are making argument of how players valuation have changed in the market, you shouldn't use such case. That is my point

Stones is the best ball player but Pep is willing to play Fernandinho in defence alongside Laporte?

Fernandinho is a 33 year old midget at that who learnt work as a CM.

Are you sure you're not the clown here?

You are talking out of your ass honestly.
Common sense will tell you fernandinho will be their 4th choice centre back option behind Laporte,stones and otamendi. You are not a clown but the entire circus.

muyiwaadekunle1:



Willian might not be your regular superstar but he has proved his worth at Chelsea. I remember 2015/2016, he was the only one churning out decent performances week in week out when Hazard, Costa and Fabregas were all doing their three idiots movie. What about Antonio Conte second season?
We should keep him and Pedro in that team as long as their legs are not weary. The coach does not need to play them weekly from 2020/2021 season but their experience will surely add grit and winning mentality to our squad.
That's exactly what Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville did for Man Utd after their 33rd birthdays.
Xavi and Rafael Marquez did the same for Barcelona.

I understand you perfectly well, and I would also love to see Pedro stay here for some years.

I just don't like Willian kind of playing and now that Hazard has gone to Madrid,.Let's see what him and others have to offer us.

Because of our transfer ban we gave him a two year contract, which on a norm it should have been one year due to the over 30 policy

I just pray he does well this season and he should stop that is one way legover it's boring

Are you sure you are not the owner of the clown school here?

Only February this year, Pep chose to bench Stones and play Otamendi, Laporte, and Fernandinho in a back 4....and not against Millwall.

He did this against Arsenal with Mendy out.

Can you please check and see who is 4th choice here?

They say a little knowledge is dangerous in the hands of a fool.

Nihilistjnr, please your review is needed.

larride:
nhilistjnr, ibime, ruadmueter n the rest,

What do you think about this team?

I feel its lacking in balance

Kean is an unknown quantity and hasnt even played preseason for Everton

Albrighton - nope

Ceballos - unknown

Pepe - unkwown

There's a lot of money tied up in that defence as well. Keane is 5 or 5.5 and chopping bench. Why not drop to a 4.5 and use that 1m to do something elsewhere

Leicester arent necessarily going to keep cleansheets like that. Rodgers is an attacking manager. If you want a Leicester defender at least pick Perreira since he plays 7 sometimes.

Coleman again is meh. Everton defence was pretty dodgy last year. Pickford is the English Barthez. Coleman wasnt even attacking as much. DIgne is the guy you want from them as he plays like a budget carlos, plus he takes freekicks and corners.

Can you save money on dijk/robertson by only picking one? Or perhaps dropping one to Joe Gomez? Ederson is a safe pick, but can you save .5m by dropping to DDG? I think he will be safe this year with Maguire in the team.

I no wan talk too much as some of my mortal enemies in NLPL and the betting league dey this thread.

larride:
nhilistjnr, ibime, ruadmueter n the rest,

What do you think about this team?

I would suggest starting R. Neves ahead of Pepe because Pepe may be a late substitute for Arsenal because he only just arrived. Also depending on the results before the 70th minute he may not even play. Your back 4 may not yield more points when compared to a back 3 on FPL. You gather more points with an attacking formation than a defensive one. You can switch to a back 3 and include Neves who can score, is great at dead balls and can provide assists. Finally, your attack looks very blunt but again Keane can spring a surprise, problem is do you think he will start for Everton this week?

Again you are talking out of your ass. So your sample size is one game in which stones was just coming back from injury and fernandinho still basically played as a DM with walker dropping back to form a back 3 with Laporte and Otamendi. You have changed the discuss. If you don't rate stones fine by me but saying stuff like he can't even pass is clownish and the worst opinion I have seen this year

Another transfer window about to close what's up with Mr Relapsti.

I remember you were that person that said
Van Dijk wasn't good for us at 60m and preferred
Rudiger. I hope you could see how your

Apari, I thought you said it was Barcelona begging Neymar. You haven't reacted to updates recently? If you need ticket money to join the entourage in Spain to beg Barca, forward your account number to his agent.

You are very foolish.

Which injury did Stones come from?

Stones played 90 minutes against newcastle only 5 days before, and played 90 minutes against Everton 3 days later.

There was no injury.

Pep said after that game that he wanted to use an extra midfielder in the game.

There were 3 centrebacks available for that game - why is it Stones that Pep saw to Bench?


Fernandinho benched Stones so emphatically in the game that the guy didn't even come on to the field that day.

So it sounds extremely moronic for you to call Fernandinho 4th choice centreback when we literally saw Pep move Laporte to Left Back, and then bench Stones so that Fernandinho can play that position.

Only an idiot like yourself will say Stones is the finest ball playing CB in England, when he's literally in lower pecking order than a 34 year old midget central midfielder

Somebody is desperately trying to give L where their is none . Up till now neymar has not said anything about going to Barca,transfer or anything unlike hidden where he was granting interviews every week talking about Madrid and drooling over Zidane. .

No offense but common sense is far From you. You are using your hand to destroy your own damn point. You basically just showed us that fernandinho started for his ability as a midfielder in that game and pep wanted to dominate the midfield. He was basically used as the DM in that match not as a centre back. Show us his heat map and that of Laporte let's see. Then show us another match .
