Chelsea’s hope of signing in-demand Everton’s centre back John Stones has been given a major boost after report claims that Everton are now ready to sell the young star but only if Chelsea will be able to meet up their £40million valuation of the England international.
According to the Daily Mirror, the Toffees boss Roberto Martinez is now looking for potential replacement for Stones in case the Blues sanction a move for his signature.
However, with John Terry not getting younger, Chelsea desperately need another young and equally reliable centre back.
The Portuguese tactician Mourinho views Stones as a potential Terry’s long-term replacement and besides, the Englishman will also count as homegrown with the Blues short of that in the first team squad.
Atlthough it might have surprised most Chelsea fans when the boss Mourinho, substituted Terry at half time for Zouma during last weekend defeat to the Citizen but the fact still remains that Terry is not as fast as he was during his youth days and the Citizen took advantage of that.
In my own opinion, Stones is nowhere worth the £40million valuation. Hence, Chelsea can look on to any other available option in the market.
Stones is not worth of £40million. Jose Mourinho should look for other alternative or he should enchant trust in the youth team.
jose is killing d team as well as wasting time on so called John Stones. there are other better defenders. just take a look at mancity. they just completed the signing Otamendi i think thats brilliant. we are definitely going to have problem this season if Jose continues with this pride and arogance.
Diego Costa should be addressed cos hes killing the beauty of our game with his temperament. a good striker will always focus on getting the goals like Aguero does for city, not trying to retaliate every bad tackles and escalating tension in d game of football. he may end up like ballotelli if he doesnt work on himself.
Hi Charles, I totally agree with your comment, I also think Costa needs to calm down and focus more on helping the team to win matches rather than picking up quarrels with virtually every defensive opponent.
It’s true about coasta, if he donot stop his agressive act by responding to every action of defenders against him, sure, he will surely end up like arogan Billetolli, and no respect will be given to him anymore.
