I had a 30+ min conversation with ILDeac about the Stones situation earlier this week. Without him, Distin, or Alcaraz, we are exceptionally thin at CB. Neither Browning nor Galloway seem ready quite yet. With some of the $ we get from the Stones sale (and Everton is good at squeezing money out of big clubs for our players), we could go get one or even two class CBs, but it's still pretty thin there even if you think Jags has a few good years left in him.
An option becomes moving Barry to CB. He has no speed or quickness left in his legs, but he's still got good positional sense and can tackle.
It is only a matter of time before y'all sign Evans by all indications. With Chelsea wanting Stones, I'm guessing they see him and Zouma as their CB pairing for the future, so I wonder if you could talk them into letting y'all sign Cahill? He'd immediately be your best CB if that somehow happened.
