Chelsea have had a £20,000,000 bid rejected for Everton defender John Stones.

Yeah seen that on ssn.
However I think that's a lot of money to reject. so I believe we prob didn't bid tht much as I think that's not much for everton to turn down.
Would be a good signing. Good solid player!
Ed002 or ed018 any updates on this rumour?
Thanks!

He's not worth much more than that. Presumably a long term Terry replacement which is good especially as he's English. I'm surprised as well that Everton have rejected such a high amount

I've never been very impressed with his defending to be honest. He's certainly a good prospect and still young, so Everton I'd imagine would demand a lot more money (with him being HG as well). That said, he's not worth much more than 20 million IMO. There are better alternatives for cb (Otamendi for one would be a great coup, Umtiti is very talented as well etc).

In no means am I saying he's better than a terry and cahill because he ain't but he has good states against them last year and especially considering Terry was the best defender in the prem last year.
The 21-year-old's defensive statistics compare favourably to Chelsea centre-backs John Terry and Gary Cahill. Last term, Stones averaged 1.43 tackles, 1.09 blocks and 1.52 interceptions per game - beating the Chelsea duo in all three departments

In a market where sterling is going for 49m then stones is worth 30m. Everton aren't going to accept 20m for a player they don't want to sell.
