Masons transfer wasn't handled the best way. Masons agent seemed to try and get mason to have talks with any premier league club, Masons not from Barnsley, hes from Doncaster, Joined the club at 9/10 years old and then when Leeds come sniffing about went and joined them, It didn't go well for Mason at Lees and he come begging to join BFC. Did okay in the u18s and barnsley gave him a one year deal. The club tried for 6 month before he moved to get him to sign another deal and he said NO.

Sorry but thats not true. He comes back to watch Barnsley fc a lot. How many times do you think he'll go watch Everton when he leaves? I'm glad hes going onto doing well. We aren't bitter. PS look at the comments you lot made when you signed him and then the comments on social media today.

From Barnsley, started at Barnsley, developed at Barnsley, Loves Barnsley FC (see Gareth Southgate's comments before the u21 game) Most of all, Barnsley fans are proud of him. It's not the same for Mason Holgate. PS If any of you are going tomorrow, take a look at the training ground (Next to the Away End). That's the places John Stones developed for 9 of the 11 years hes been attached to a professional club.

It's true. He told the club yesterday of the Transfer request although hes wanted to leave for a long time, Hes one of our own

No but the extra 60k a week plus will make that irreverent Hes one of our own

I watched a bit, looked good on the ball, tried to play out of defence. Honestly hes stronger than people give him credit for. He's played 20 plus games in league one. Against league one players. Strong guys that have tried to give him some. Got sent off at Keepmoat, Doncaster (Hes from Doncaster btw) Played against direct teams like Bradford away and many say he was MOTM for Barnsley. Bradford are very direct.

Those who watched him tonight, what did you think. Everton vs Liverpool u21 game...

Everton fans I noticed weren't happy at all. You lot of twitter especially wanted the might Leroy Fer

Week of 24th. Not sure what dates Sky have for TV matches but it could be one. Which means it could be played on a thursday night, not great for either team.

You've got yourself a real good player in Mason Holgate, he'll take him and you'll need to get behind him but hes got the potential to do along way. I remember you lot weren't happy when you signed stones on 31st of January and hes turned out okay.

Barnsley fans would love that, although Mason Holgate might get the odd word most Barnsley fans would feel proud i'm sure. Stones will defo want to play in it. Southgate said he wouldn't have liked to be the one to tell john that he wasn't playing for u21's at oakwell.

I agree and that was the talk from Barnsley fans when he moved. Everton was a great move for him rather than a Manchester city who were apparently interested when he made the move or a wigan who made an offer. everton like Barnsley look to be developing players well. Noticed you had a few in the u20 squad in france and the u17 captain.

Page 1 or two in this thread. I'll be honest it was on twitter that people where complaining but every clubs got one of them. Really hope he plays next season for which every club he's at.

So pleased for him and his family. Well done to Everton for continuing the development of him. Still think he'll move from Everton but not sure if that will come this or next summer. Also how many Everton fans are still complaining over signing Stones and not fer

I wasn't trying to knock Everton at all but I think he could be truly a top player and maybe follow your former manager to Manchester united or even join a Chelsea or Arsenal Tottnham or even your great rivals Liverpool.

Good to see him playing. Good to see he got MOTM against QPR. Played against Stoke which for a centre backs got to be one of the toughest tests going and i heard he did well. Just enjoy him Toffees, he'll be at one of the big clubs in a couple of years and you will have made a great profit from a player that cost 3 million pound.

Not seen him much for Everton because i don't think hes played much. Forgot you lot played liverpool on Saturday so missed him then but for the u21's hes coming a long nicely. Really good to see him play centre back and right back for them. He looks to have played really well for u21's at Right back and had a really good game against Scotland. Played centre back for England in last 2 or so games but they haven't had much to do. Really hope he does well.

Watched the game tonight and the the England team was full of players from Liverpool. On a Everton view of thing surely you'll be happy with parts of the game. Thought Stones played really well, for 70 minutes he was covering two positions, Right back and right midfield. Think the heat might have got to him after 70 minutes though but he put that much effort in before that you can't blame him. People from penistone aren't used to that heat LOL. He put some lovely crosses in, also defended well in the whole. Also Ross Barkley played really well. If it wasn't for a good keeping display from there Goalkeeper and Kane could hit the target then England will be surely through. Some will go OTT about England and the press will defo go over the top but i think there was some positives tonight. Hopefully the FA will have learnt from the last u21 finals and all the best players will be there next time if England get to the Finals.

With the championship finished and the play offs in full swing i thought i would come and ask about Stones and give my opinion on who i think would be a good manager for you. On Stones, hows he developing with you? I've noticed he he hasn't started for you or even come on for a game. I also noticed he's been playing for the u21's and even scored a pen in a recent pen shoot out for you. My view would be that Roberto Martinez would be a good fit for you. Really like Roberto and he might even take you to the next stage and maybe it might be the Toffees winning the FA cup. Anyway, good luck at the Weekend. I bet your happy to finish above Liverpool.

just thought i'd have a look on to see how hes doing. Really hope he plays against Norwich. Dixie Dean, just wait until you see him play a few times. You've got yourself a very special player that could rip it up for you and in a few years time you will be talking about on here. WIll we beable to hold onto Stones when theres links of manchester united and city in the paper everyday. If he can start games there'll be a few 1000's in south yorkshire cheering you on for sure.

seems like Barnsley have been told both everton and wigan want him for the first team.

latest news, he had a medical with wigan and discussed terms. now he's talking to you and it's up to him who he signs for.

Coleman. Unless hes improved a lot since he was at blackpool then i think stones better.

a question. would he be likely to start at everton?

it's ok. Think its good when football fans can pass info on to each other and not be bitter.
