Eds - is there any truth behind the John Stones speculation? I think he would be an ideal signing for us - a player comfortable on the ball and who can cover the right side of defense (making us less vulnerable when Bellerin is up fieldin attacking play) .
{Ed002's Note - Barcelona, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all took a look at Stones in the summer of 2014 but none made an offer. Chelsea made an attempt to sign him in the summer of 2015 but then moved on to another target. I very much suspect Manchester United who showed interest some time back will look again to Stones, but right now I think they are looking elsewhere as well. Arsenal and Barcelona will be interested if he becomes available.}

Interesting. You don't see Chelsea going back in for him Ed?
Any interest in Marquinhos also. He hardly seems to be playing again now Luiz is back fit for PSG.
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea are interested in Stones but have been told he is not for sale - they have interest elsewhere. There is no interest in Marquinhos from Arsenal.}
