John Stones

[schfc6]

I wonder if he will ever play for England again now he's joined city?

Big Sam has four key ideas or philosophies if you will. One is to not gamble with possession in your own half. I assume Stones will be not suitable as he'll want to play football.

Anyone looking up reaction from Everton fans? I bet it's more classy than the dippers were with Sterling.

Earlier they were pretty outraged that it appears they're selling in order to buy despite what they were allegedly promised. Understandable if so.

Looks like their is add-ons that will push the deal to £50mil

City will pay £1.25m in add-ons (max twice) if they win the Champions League during Stones' stay, so deal could reach £50m. [@hirstclass]

Probably the same with Sane & Sterling. Note we have capped it at twice so it doesn't get too expensive.

Whoever is doing the audio description for the interview needs to listen to what he's saying. At times it doesn't make any sense.

Glad their anger is being directed at their owners rather than the BS from their classy murkyside rivals gave Raheem.

He said 'boom', did we keep the receipt?

Lets hope he improves massively with us and Pep, cause his defending for a CB is Mangala levels. Lol this also makes Pogba look like bargain

Good shout I forgot Sam was the England manager now!

Nothing makes Pogba look like a bargain. It is the worst deal in the history of everything.

 

[jollylescott]

Brilliant signing and, after watching the interview, a genuinely nice and thoughtful guy who is completely over the blue moon at the thought of working with Pep.

Can't wait to see him in the centre of defence with Kolarov ;)

And for all the doom and gloom supporters who think we will finish 6th this year, as Stones said Pep is a winner and it rubs off on everyone!

Your right mate.....think this deal is fair for both sides! As the guy from the Times is saying...The way the deal is structured we can say we didnt give them the 50mil they were asking but Everton also save face by saying the "potential" is there to get the 50mil...Great signing so not concerned by the cost!!;)

Clearly structured so City can say they didn't pay £50m and Everton can say they got the £50m package they wanted.

Initial fee for Stones: £47.5m Add ons: £1.25m each time City win CL during his time at the club (max twice) Total could therefore be £50m

If you say so. I wonder how much they've spent on that promotional bollocks for their shiny new 'bargain'.

Id brace yourself after that rubbish

Same as with Liverpool.

They claim to have got the exact money they asked for, with Sterling. But they got millions less.

 

[SiMCFC]

The point I've been making the whole time. He was always coming to City and Txiki has done well yet again by not paying what was demanded.

We must have some very wealthy fans when they throw quotes such as "just pay the 2.5 million to get it done" always makes me smile.

 

[nibz]

So then, those poster's we had on here last night were spot on. Watching that interview, he look's like he was either dragged out of bed or dragged out of the pub to get this finalised. Welcome to Manchester Stones ;)

 

[Dogtanian]

Fantastic signing let's hope he gets back to the form he had the season before last

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

A young english defender with fantastic potential.

great signing welcome to city john !!!! ( that blue city coat looks nice)
