John Stones saying he would like to come back to Everton. He’s a free agent in the summer. Would DM be interested?
{Ed025's Note - only if he took a 70% reduction in his wages i expect GB..

No, let's build for the future, not the past.

I think Moyes would have him back at a reduced wage. I wouldn't, but nobody is listening to me!
{Ed025's Note - maybe they should do Mike..

I'm with you there, Mike. Now, if Richy says he would come here, bring it on.

Wages, the big thing, isn't it.. If you brought Stones back to replace an outgoing Keane, but on similar money, who wouldn't be happy?! And same with Richy and Beto!

Could do a lot worse if he were fit. He's had a lot of injuries over the past few seasons.

More quality, the better, and when fit, he is quality. Hopefully, will need more players with European football next season. As all have said, wages would need to fit into business model.

We might need Stones next season when Cheltenham's on again.
JB & Tarks are both back in the squad for this weekend, so, I think the rumours of them being on the razz seem to be true!

Like that one, Benny.
For me, Stones is far too expensive in terms of wages, has a terrible injury record, and is not getting any younger. Too unreliable if we don't have much cover.

Not a big fan of Keane, but would rather give him another 12 month deal than bring back Stones.
In the long term, the c/back pairing would surly be O'Brien & Branthwaight, but in this monument Tarks has the spot, and will fight to keep it.
