John Stones

[Dax777]

If Denyer was the real deal, he would not have been allowed to go back out on loan last season, especially as MD was coming to the end of his career.

If we get both Stones and Laporte, I would think its more than possible he , Denyer will go back to Turkey for another season.

Denayer is a RB. People need to get over the position he played as a youth. As an adult, he'll be a RB

As for Denayer, we will see if this player is of the level Scottish and Turkish league. As you all know he plays for Belgium where he is very highly rated. As a centre back.

Stones is a really good player at such young age. But as usual with British players being bigger up to the point teams will actually pay 50million. Even Michael Owen says Stones is the only England player to walk in to the Barcelona side. That made me choke on me tea..

Anyway my guess is Laporte to be the one we are after and the sole defender to come in.

People on here slagging stones off is shocking.
He's a young courted centre half wanted by some of the greatest mangers in history..

Denayer can't be all that otherwise he wouldn't be farmed out to Celtic then turkey.
I don't care how young or inexperienced he is of your good enough at any age you get in the team like Rooney at Everton, messi at barca,
Rashford over at the swamp and our very own kelechi

I don't claim to have seen enough of Denayer to know how good he is. What I have seen looks promising, but I know quite a few Celtic season ticket holders and their opinion was unanimously positive, often rating him above Van Dijk who hasn't disgraced himself since moving to the premiership.

Denayer was promised first team squad last season, signed his new contract, then pellegrini decided to keep demichelis for another season, thinking it was the better and safer option, Jason could of requested a transfer, within his rights as city didn't keep their end of the bargain but went on loan, he was told months ago he would be coming back to city under orders from pep, hes good enough, no worries on that department, stones could turn out to be a real talent with better players around him that's for certain

 

[Delphacito]

Honestly I think whether he gets loaned out again next season depends on how he performs for Belgium in the Euro. It's an easy thing for Pep. Just wait and see how Denayee performs in the big stage. If he plays well, I think we'll keep all of Stones, Laporte, and Denayer along with Kompany and Otamendi as well. Stones and Denayer can play RB and with Vinnie's injury proneness, having more CBs is not a disadvantage.

I'm actually adamant that somebody like Stones could play the Busquets role. He has all the attributes to do so.

He could play there tbh

If we were to get both Laporte and Stones, it would seem logical to play stones there because personally I think it would be a bold move for pep to bench kompany (when he's fit) unless he goes for 3 at the back...

Totally agree!
This kid has the lot in my opinion and the errors he has been prone to this season can all be ironed out by good coaching, he had Martinez coaching him FFS.
He can also play at RB too. Laporte apparently can also play LB. I am of the opinion both Stones and Laportes potential to fill numerous postions is one of the main reasons we want them, especially considering they can both fill full back roles, which is a huge issue for us.
