captainbeaker Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 worth the gamble, seeing how it turned out for Stones may influence things, but from him not keen on Man U for lack of football, he won't get that from us either, I would say U21's till xmas then be loaned out to develop unless he's a real superstar.

Cornish Steve Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I get the argument about the value of experience but have no problem at all bringing in youngsters. Galloway is almost there. He'll make mistakes, and we'll groan from time to time, but I'd rather invest in him than waste money on an aging player. Browing isn't far off either, and of course we have Garbutt. Defence is not so bad, quite honestly. Put all the money in creativity, providing the missing link in our ability to score more goals.

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I just asked my mate who is a season ticket holder at Barnsley about him and this is what he replied Steve.....don't think he's calibre of Stones but is slightly younger. Who knows kids got masses of potential but you just don't know. Stones was defo gunna be a superstar but Mason am not sure....I think 1 million is good price for both clubs and a good punt for Everton churning out another Barnsley superstar This lad was spot on when I asked him about Stones when we signed him MC11, Matt and markjazzbassist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defence is not so bad, quite honestly. Put all the money in creativity, providing the missing link in our ability to score more goals. I agree with the investment, but right now, with the money flowing in from the top 4-6 teams, this article is scary: http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/9930930/you-cant-win-anything-with-kids-premier-league-winners-rarely-feature-many-young-players I have no problem with the tendency to develop young players into stars, but it's increasingly clear that we're becoming a farm team for any club with billionaire owners. I've only been an Everton supporter for 5 years, having no football pedigree before that in the states, but I'm becoming more and more scared that the club I've learned to bleed for will soon turn into a Barnsley type itself.

bluenosetoffee Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I don't think this is one of the signings Martinez was talking about. This is a player for the future and Martinez has said this himself in the press conference. He said before that he is looking at getting 3 more players in before the transfer window shuts. This to me means another first choice backup CB (maybe Evans, even though Martinez said there was no truth in this rumour) a no.10 and a striker.

The fee has been announced as undisclosed, but the Club can confirm that it exceeds the figure routinely reported in the press. The Club has also negotiated to retain a significant on-going financial interest in Mason’s career moving forward. The Club wishes Mason every success in his future career.

Pearso Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 As mentioned that was more about the huge anti climax of that window. If I remember correctly we were pushing the top four behind chelsea and arsenal with Tottenham behind us, we were begging for a big signing after a quiet summer window and Moyes came out and signed an unknown centre back for the future. I remember being unhappy with the signing but it was aimed at Moyes and the board, not Stones. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 he's right there was plenty complaining when we signed stones and now he's worth 30M. Really? Looking back, looks like most of the complaints were because we weren't investing in the first team rather than him as a player.

BarnsleyFan Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 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.

Guest rusty747 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Looked good. I only caught the game from early second half when we were 1-3 down but what I saw impressed me. He can play it out of defence, he is comfortable on the ball and his long range passing showed great vision and was almost inch perfect. It's still mainly potential but he was definitely a cut above most other players on the pitch from what I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
