First England game on saturday,can't see anything till after that as roy would be furious

What; you mean "grape crushing" furious?

I am assuming that when they say "signed" or "agreed", personal terms are all but sorted. I am guessing we haven't even approached Everton about it officially since they like to make a big public stink of it.

New owners might be the same as us and keep stuff quiet

If this deal has been done im sure Roy will know and with Pep probably watching him Stones will really want to up his game and impress I reckon,which can only help England and Roy

I bet there will be some upset Chelsea and Rags if we have signed Stones ........ if they slag us off over Stones we can just call them bitter ....

 

[HelloCity]

First half

"brilliant from Stones, future England captain!"

*Stones signs for City at ht*

Second half

"Stones is letting this team down. Should he be dropped for the next game?!"

 

[Daz_Blue]

Hodgson is apparently upset that City have signed Stones....not that it hinders his preperation it is just that he now expects him to get an injury sidelining him for the next few months

 

[argyle]

Why would someone in spain know and not anyone over here,i call bullshit

Lol, you call bullshit to everyone. You're in the classic Delph thread calling bullshit to the ITK that got it right. ;)

I've been working with a guy from Barsnley, who lives near stones grand parents, and he said it's a done deal ages ago. No reason not to believe him

"Stones is letting this team down. Should he be dropped for the next game?!"

"after halftime he just couldn't live up to my arbitrary and completely insane expectations of a £30m defender. "

 

[Kompany is King]

Hope so. They were fantastic.

stones and Laporte will be the new nesta and maldini

With all due respect mate this is where fans fall down with transfers and how everyone ends up getting their knickers in a twist with 'itks'. If money hasn't been exchanged and contracts haven't been signed, its not done. Absolutely everything in the world could point to it being nearly done, but until those final steps are taken, its not done, and if its not done, it can stay not done.

Hopefully this all goes through without issue as I'd love to see what a team with Stones, Laporte and Gundogan plays like from the back. I think it will suffocate the shit out of teams and we can finally not be phased by anyone brave enough to attempt a high press.
