John Stones

Definite rag

I remember the days of lee Bradbury so unless you played over at the swamp for them shit houses you owe me a apology
Never been so insulted in my life!!!

All I'm saying is laporte and stone both needed.
Pep ain't no idiot he knows what he's doing.
The slagging of stones on here is out of order

Ha, I do like stones though, does that make me a blue dipper??

Likewise Zin I think he`d be a very good asset and Pep I feel could mould him to that next level.

Seriously?

I agree that Stones is a promising player but don't be so soft; a month of underperforming is enough for the current stars in our team to get accused of being past it.

So could we see positive movement on this this coming week @tolmie's hairdoo @Ric @Danamy ?

Doubt we'll see anything happen this week.

Maybe one of those "swings both ways" types - a Bag perhaps.

I'm surprised at that post tbh, I thought it was common knowledge he had been having his input for over 12 months.... The likelihood is 4/5 of our purchases (including KDB and Gundogan) will all of been German based, I think that's a pretty clear indicator (:

Utterly ludicrous to think that Pep is not having a big say in our transfer business. I mean WTF has he been hanging round with Txiki for recently or meeting him in Amsterdam earlier in the year or pooping over to AD earlier in the week. I'd be surprised if one of the reasons Pep has joined City is not that he has been told he can build the team he wants.

Who in their right mind takes on a job (one which will have you under intense scrutiny and runs the risk of significantly harming your reputation - or cementing it as genuinely great manager) but has little influence over his playing staff?

You get Mourinho, or Pep without them having significant control of who comes and goes. It's madness to suggest otherwise. It might work for the likes of Rodgers who was an up and coming manager heading to a big club, but not the likes of Pep and Mourinho.

I'd rather have Otamendi out than Mangala, but for the next season I'd rather keep both of those two and let Stones prove himself for a year then go for him next summer & replace Nico with him. Obviously that would only work if we knew nobody else was gonna go for Stones...

Centre backs for this season could be Kompany, Otamendi, Mangala, Laporte & Denayer which would more than see us through, with Denayer able to cover right back if required.

Obviously Pep has a say. In March Pep and Txiki meet in Amsterdam and the next day Txiki met Gundogans agent (uncle). Surely thats not just coincidence.

Just putting Paul straight, he obviously didn't have a scooby hence his comments
