..Sunderland are ready to make a £2million bid for Barnsley right back John Stones, who has also attracted interest from Wigan, Everton, Fulham and Chelsea.
Martin O'Neill has declared his wish to sign the home-grown defender but doesn't want to pay up the £3million Barnsley are hoping for, according to The Mirror.
At just 18, and already 6"2, Stones may want first team football, which leaves the door open for Sunderland loaning him back to the Yorkshire club for the rest of the season.

Fulham have had a bid of around £1.5million rejected already in the transfer window as as they refused any chance of giving him back to the Championship side until the end of the campaign.

If O'Neill was able to capture Stones, who has been in the Barnsley first team since March last year, it would be his third signing of the transfer window so far.
Sunderland have already announced two new players: midfielder Alfred N'Diaye from Bursaspor and defender Kader Mangane from Al Hilal on loan.

Never heard of him mate

 

Same mate but his name has cropped up a few times now.

 

No idea but I'd guess at barely 18 years old and maybe a mere handful of games for Barnsley, he aint going to be a first team for us for a couple of years anyway?

We need some for here and now as well?

 

Agree mate but i like the fact we are looking at the younger players for the future.
the lad is 6'2 & only 18 but if he is good enough he could be break into first next season. A few clubs are interested in him i hope we get in there first if we are after him

 

John Stones...

Say it quick enough and it sounds like we have 2 players, when in reality there is only one....Super Adam.

 

He has a sister Gail Stones?





Its alright............I've already got me coat

 

I had a few pints of his beer the other night

 

Is John Stones some type of beer?

 

My wit and humour is wasted on you trouble - or maybe it's just **** craic!!

 

A half john smiths half stones beer cocktail sounds like the worst drink ever.

 

The latter, the other is that you just be me to it!!

I'm all for humour, I just think my reply fell to the wrong post.

 

Superb, in the mould of Carlos alberta the great Brazil left back not !.

 

**** players for the future its players for the future and letting players serve there apprenticeship (Wellbeck, Rose) with us is ****ing up the club i want players now who can walk into the team
