John Stones

You don't need to like the artist to like the art.

You dont want someone in the dressing room that many of the players hate. Curle was up Sam Ellis's arse - and the two of them created a very nasty atmosphere that distracted people and undermined the team.

 

[meeesh]

Good job we only paid £32m then.

Oh right,didn't know you worked for the accounts dept at the club

 

[KCblue]

On the bench for England against Russia.

 

[Oooh Curley Wurley]

Keith Curle mark II

Ooooooooh I do hope so

 

[BlueAnorak]

We didn't. That number was long debunked as what Porto got. We also paid a 3rd party.

Only if you assume the 3rd parties were paid the Same £/% owned as Porto. City said they paid £32m. I know who I believe.

 

[moomba]

I thought we weren't allowed to pay 3rd parties full stop?

At the time 3rd party ownership wasnt allowed in England but wasnt elsewhere. We had to have 100% ownership.

 

[Blue Smarties]

All we need is Stones!

Someone please tell me we are not actually considering buying this lad, cant even get passed Smalling, and Cahill in the England team. Mangala 2.0

 

[kaz7]

His price will have just shot up now they know we didn't get the other guy and we want him

 

[Andouble]

And what the fuck do England selectors have to do with us ? Cleverley has England caps for fucks sake. I truly believe Stones & Mangala under Pep will form one of the best partnerships we've ever had.

big loss that laporte looks off...much bigger than stones who tbh i dont rate at all i saw a lot of spanish football last year(bilbao too) to see that laporte is the next big think in CB terms...well if pep want stones ...if it was by me i will pay no more than 25m for him

It shouldn't since Laporte had no effect on whether we sign Stones.

 

[FJRMCFC]

Thank fuck Laporte is off. Speaks volumes that Pep was going to shift Aymeric to LB so Stones would be the main CB signing. Can't believe people on here don't rate him, watch with your own eyes. Not the media consensus.

 

[cookster]

Everton will dig in big style, reckon it will be close to 60m now Laporte has bombed.

its the telegraph but no fucking way at over 50M...
