I think you have to look at the coaching he is receiving. He wouldn't be defending like that had mourinho signed him

Could be and perhaps but he must have done something right under Martinez to warrant this 50m price tag

Some epic banter & gallows humour on Toon forums. A hoot.

I don't watch much football and def not seen much of stones. .. i have never seen a good game from him.

Is it just me?

Every time ive seen an analysis they point out defensive issues and he is always at the heart of them. 50m my ass.


As Carragher says all the time, he doesn't sense danger fast enough.

Season 1 of the Vlad Chiriches Show was better than anything Stones has produced so far.

He needs to be a part of a sound defensive structure, something his manager knows nothing about.

Big Hippohead getting one up on the Spanish waiter. We'll never hear the end of it!! I can handle it though if it means we destroy Newcastle

Did Kirchhoff ever extend his initial 18 month contract? Would be great competition for Dier.

I've always liked Martinez and admired the way he kept Wigan in the PL without resorting to hoof ball tactics, but one thing that you can't forget is that Wigan were always shocking defensively.

When he first came in at Everton they were pretty sound defensively, but think that was the result of Moyes' management.

I'd like to see Yedlin get his chance next season. I hate looking at Walkers face as well.

Good ball that from Yedlin to be fair. Dangerous position but Defoe was very late reading that so couldnt get there.
