John Stones

[doobyedoobye]

So is the goal post.
PS This is not meant to be an anti Mangala post I actually quite like him but one thing is for sure distribution ain't one of his key attractions.

Hence why he will not fit into Pep's primary plan.

He`s the brother of Lescott in that department.

Exactly, the pros outweigh the cons. Actually really excited about this signing.

I'm not, nor Kroos, but I'm fully ready to go along, as we have Pep, not Manuel ;)

I'll still argue the pros & cons though, to put it all out there.

Yes, Neville, If, (or more likely when), the lad finally signs, he'll get my full & unequivocal support against all comers, just saying that, going on what I saw last season, I have strong reservations, pre to him putting pen to paper.

see if this progresses this week

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Well, I guess the only good thing about England getting knocked out tonight(if we want to look for a good thing) is that, hopefully this deal gets wrapped up alot quicker now...hopefully we can get the deal done before he goes on his summer hols!!

 

[citytill1die84]

Hopefully wrap it up before he goes on holiday.

 

[bluesince76]

Big moment John - you're next move will either make you the greatest centre half the world had ever seen or personally responsible for England's exit from the 2018 world cup. Well, you and Sterling

 

[Kippax.]

Hopefully wrap it up before he goes on holiday.

Doubt it very much, I can't see it.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Nothing can be wrapped up until Friday at the earliest.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Even though he can't be blamed for anything I'd have thought everyone associated with the England squad will want to stay out of England for as long as possible!

 

[simon23]

well with England out we may be able to push this one through soon

 

[adrianr]

This never ever happens. Player leaves international tournament, everyone gets hopes up it will be done soon, player immediately goes on holiday and nothing moves until get get back.

yup...but at least the talks can begin with the player as well.....even on holiday he will be in touch with his agent who will do the leg work for him

At least he didn't have to play in that horror show that was the England Campaign...i fear for sterling...his reception form opposition fans was atrocious last year....unjusitifed as well and some of the shit he has had to take int he last couple of weeks has been appalling. Pep will have a lot of confidence boosting to do with him.

At least stones avoided all that though I'm sure the rag and scouse sympathisers in the press with stir up the hatred for stones should he make the move.....as predictable as Xmas

Didn't have a bad tournament. So long as we're not paying in Euros we'll be right.

 

[Wolfkin]

When do players who have been at the Euros get back from Holiday? around the 20th?

Depends when they are knocked out.

Any player can be signed and sealed before July 1st, they just can't be registered to play until then.

Switzerland were knocked out on the 25th, Embolo was signed by Schalke on the 26th even though a few other teams wanted him in Germany. It's possible

Yeah its a silly myth. As if Stones would prefer to go on holiday rather than sort out the biggest professional move of his life. If he goes on holiday its because everything is sorted.
