If at all he was available, how much do you think Everton would want for him?
John Stones | Everton say they will reject all bids
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

People will laugh at me for saying this but ~30m.
Why would anyone laugh? That is the obvious price in line with Shaw IMO.
30m sounds fair considering his potential but I doubt he is going anywhere
I agree. After what we paid for Shaw, Everton will want at least that.
Maybe an Evans plus cash for Stones deal would be best for both parties
As people laughed when i said the same about Barkley and Fellaini.
Nah, Laporte would cost the same and they are at a similar level.
Strange, that would be the going rate for most top young English players I imagine.
What a world we live in when £30m is the going rate for anybody that's had a season in the Premier League and looked half decent.
He's had two seasons from the age of 19-21 where he has effortlessly slotted into a side with a changing manager and looked very good actually.
More a reference at the state of modern football and inflated "going rate" prices. Not a dig at the player per se. I started this thread. I like the kid.
Stones out of first two U-21 games due to concussion.
I think he has the most transfer value of any CB in the Prem. I would have maybe thought Koscielny but he's apparently already 29, as is Kompany.
Yeah, probably in or around that.
I don't disagree that he's a brillilant talent. I am really impressed with him and would be very happy if we signed him. I just think we should sign someone at their peak too, but maybe that's just being greedy lol
He is not that far from his peak.
30m for Stones seems fair
Can we bid for him pls....seems Chelski want him to replace JT now 
We'll regret not signing him if we don't IMO (ala Aguero, Cech, Essien, Robben, etc)

I've seen him in big trouble against Italy U21
Apparently £20m bid from Chelski rejected. We should so get involved. £20m + Evans should seal it...
I know we have quite a few young CBs - but this guy different class IMO
That lad is gonna be one of the best CB's in the world soon enough & i'd hate us to miss out him. He has everything & he's a real nice lad too..
Yep - feel the same way
Yeah he was poor in that game. In his defence he had just come back from injury but he still displayed the major flaw in his game at present, overplaying on the ball.
We should be all over this.
I'd argue he's better than any of our present defenders, and can kick on a lot higher. Only perhaps Evans out of our CB options has as good technique, but Evans problems lie elsewhere.

Would be a great replacement for the outgoing Evans. Just the kind of squad upgrade we should be aiming for. He can then fight it out with Jones and Smalling for the CB spots alongside Ottamendi
Him and Smalling would be the best defensive partnership in the league, have no idea what we're playing at here.
If he's as good as everyone says he is, I think we might lose out on a huge British talent for the simple reason that LVG is on a 3 year target to win the league and needs immediate results. Otherwise we tend to go after the biggest English talent unless those at Liverpool.
We can't have them all. Was starting to think Mourinho wasn't going to address the future centre back issue. Good move for him if it happens.
An absolute class act this kid. Will be some signing for whoever gets him eventually.
Their bid was highly predictable, I think they will sign him at 100%.
Would be great business for Chelsea but terrible news in the short term for England. He needs to play games not watch them for 2 more years.
Testing the waters with that bid. I really really hope he doesn't leave but it's probably inevitable at some stage in his career, i don't think it will be this season though. He's just too valuable at the moment to let him go.
Would love for us to sign him. Good on the ball. Solid overall. This lad will be great. Not much room for him though.
Laporte is the better player. However Stones is very good too, counts as homegrown and is already experienced in the league.
Laporte has a clause of 50m euro (35m pounds). Stones will probably cost a bit less.
I very much doubt it.
They already have Zouma who is insane talent and will get more games this year imo, Ake and Kalas decent talents as well
Can you buy a player from another PL side and then loan them straight back? That would be the best scenario if we buy him this summer. Get him and then loan him back to you for the season so he plays every week.
I very much doubt we would like to do that either on the off chance we get into the Europa League and try even harder to keep him OR he has an amazing season and we could get a bit more for him.
