Stones, to me, is unrpoven to what he can do. A couple seasons back we were "linked" with Ross Barkley and how he was going to become the next big England stud. Injuries and fall of form have hampered his development a little. Why would we take the risk on Jones being the next "big thing" to come out of England. As good as it would be to have home grown talent, its not bad to look elsewhere for young talent. Varane could cost between 15-25 million pounds, has experience in league and European competition. That sounds a lot better than 45 million those Toffees are holding out for, yeah right, thats David Lulz range and we see how that turned out for P$G.
