John Stones

[Marvin]

Hasn't he already?

Make your mind up. I am sure I just came from a topic where you said we would finish 2nd? You are prevaricating!

Remember when they got all excited about their new investors? A new TV deal and a new manager, and they've done fuck all. Martin Stekelenburg for £850k is it.

They swapped majority shareholders, Kenwright and the American, for one single majority shareholder. Until they have a single shareholder or consortium then there will be no major investment, otherwise it's just putting money into the small shareholders pockets. This new guy doesn't appear to be making any moves to buy the other shares looks like he's along for the ride or profit

With any luck this should push on now if they sign Williams.

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

They are linked to Williams for £10m, and Kone at Sunderland but none gone through yet. Also linked with Witsel and Koulibaly.

Oh god...that's even more hilliarious than I imagined. Rearrange these words to make a coherent sentence.... To Not A Pot In P*ss!!

 

[richards30]

lets get this done now asap txiki!!

 

[SWP's back]

We dont need,or want,Williams,we want Stones - he has the qualities the boss is looking for.

I'm not quite sure how some don't understand this.

It's all about playing out from the back.

 

[JPAMCR]

Williams going to Everton only strengthens our position, might even be able to lower the price as Williams won't be going there to sit on the bench.

Jesus, don't be saying that, the Everton fan will be on shortly shouting at you and explaining that they can spend £200m if they want.

I was asking the poster whether he thought we had. And, yes, I do think we will be second. Obviously, hope arecfirst, but just dont see it this season

 

[i8rags]

Deluded Everton fans will be celebrating buying Williams, they'll see it as as getting rid of a dodgy want away defender and getting a proven prem international who scores goals and 40 mill in the bank, not they've yet again sold their prized asset and replaced with aging wank.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

I'm supremely confident this will happen; if stones has any common sense he'll be desperate to play under Pep and the rumours of Williams going to Everton only make this more likely

Feel sorry for denayer though; he doesn't seem like he's going to have an opportunity

 

[Akira]

Now that Sane is done, this will probably be an imminent signing.

 

[JazPazMCFC]

Think if Everton are playing hard, we should walk away there are other good young defenders e.g. Kone, meikle,Christiansen (if he hasn't left chealsea on loan again). Feel we have 2 ready made starts in denayer and tosin.

Imminently imminent?

 

[JimmyNJ]

So if we sign Stones, we believe we'll find someone to take Mangala. Leaving us with Kompany, Stones, Otamendi, ??? Maybe Denayer does stay. Any confirmation about current players having moved to centre back?

I think Pep must have his doubts over Vinnie being available all season, hence why he is looking at bolstering the team with experience . Tosin has played well in the friendliues, but Pep may feel he needs someone with more experience. Can see Tosin getting cup games tbough.

Stones is hardly the most exerienced of players. Indeed he looked a bit rattled under the spotlight last season. I think Pep is interested in him because if his ability to play football. He could develop into a Pique, but Everton at this moment would probably benefit more from a defender who can control the penalty box like Williams.

He has more experience than Denayer and Tosin was my point

Meikle is very experienced dominated Turkish leauge last season I feel he could be an option...

Stones has to leave Everton. He is under so much scrutiny there because he likes to stay composed on the ball and play his way out of trouble. The problem is, he can pass the ball to a team mate but they'll no doubt lump it forward in hit and hope style and as Pep's already said, it then comes back even quicker and you're out of position.

He wants defenders who are comfortable on the ball and therefore control the game. Those who believe Pep is purely attack minded are wrong. The reason he wants ball playing defenders is so they can ensure the side is less likely to concede by playing aimless balls forward which can leave the team out of position. With Laporte making the decision to extend his contract, we'll do all we can to get Stones - he's very much a Pique style defender and that's exactly what Pep will want.
