Having reportedly handed in a transfer request to push through his move to Chelsea, John Stones was a surprise starter in Everton’s League Cup trip to Barnsley.
It may have proved a selection mistake by Roberto Martinez, however, with Stones hardly looking 100% committed when he jumped over this goal-bound effort.
Perhaps the supposedly £40m-rated defender was simply trying to do his home-town club a favour?
And when Everton found themselves two goals behind, Jamie Carragher raised a very interesting point…
Every time Chelsea concede John Stones price supposedly goes up, does it go down with Barnsley getting two in 25 mins?!!
