It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

I thought Stones will worth more

Interesting move from Moyes to sign a ball playing centre half.

Think it could be good for him to go somewhere where the pressure is less and he's the leader.

20m would be a bargain for West Ham although risky because of his injury record, so perhaps fair.

 

[Gabriel]

Need to get Arsenal and West Ham in a bidding war for him. Start at 20 and settle around 25-30 given his contract and salary.

 

[doobyedoobye]

There seems to be interest in Stones which is a great sign. I'm confident he will be on his way this window.

Let Chelsea's people handle that sale and we'll get 70mil.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I don't know why there'd be any shock about it. I genuinely think he could still go on to become a great player but he's a huge risk and there's no way any club would come close to paying what we did.

Yep, this. I really thought Stones had it in him to be a great player. He may still. But almost certainly not at City. I'd wish him well.

The wheelers and dealers at Leicester would get even more.

 

[Akpowell]

Who came up with £20m, certainly not City.
You've got to be looking at, at least £30m+

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

they're just doing the usual thing with city players and quoting half the tf value. I would expect we’ll get 35 to 40M for him.

If West Ham sign him we will be paid in dildos

 

[Akpowell]

Thought it was Euros

True Geordie likes the look of that deal

Apparently Stones was a RAG fan in his younger days in good old Yorkshire, had pictures of Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister on his bedroom walls, maybe this little fella will want him, after all he did not want Ake

Sell him to West Ham - I wouldn’t sell anyone to the hateful 8.

In an ideal world there’d be an additional £10million ‘Grass Tax’ if any of those clubs wanted one of our players. Sadly the world doesn’t work like that

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

You'd like to think there will be a premium price for any of those clubs if they start showing an interest in our players!

 

[Gabriel]

Not overly concerned. We knew such clubs despised us anyway, but business is business, so if we can get him off the books to Arsenal for more money, I'll hold my nose.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

As much as I’m sure we are keen to offload Stones, it’s hard to fathom us accepting a £30 million loss on him.

 

[Claytop]

Lovren goes for £11m and yet we'll only get £20m for an England International, I know he's had his issues but not having that.

Should be at least £25m, very least. I suspect wages will be an issue as usual when we are trying to shift players.

 

[Keeper!]

As much as I’m sure we are keen to offload Stones, it’s hard to fathom us accepting a £30 million loss on him.

Unfortunately that's business, no one gets it right all the time and knowing you have made a mistake is hard.

Cut your losses and move on!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

As much as I’m sure we are keen to offload Stones, it’s hard to fathom us accepting a £30 million loss on him.

Or West Ham paying his £150k a week wages!

Top earner earns less than £90k.

Don't take it for certain Stones will leave. Unless someone comes up with a decent offer, City would rather extend his deal and protect themselves.
