John Stones

[flb]

I don't see United buying this lad Eric Bailly and Stones under Mourinho-not a chance for me, despite them saying they have a substantial war chest can anybody see them spunking £70-80 million on 2 CB's?


Play under Pep and become a far better footballer or become another stunted under developed player under Mourinho?

Stones may like the fact Mourinho has chased him for 2 summers now. But can you imagine how he will be treated the moment he tries to carry the ball out of defence? Blimey he'll only do it once under Mourinho.
He'll be expected to pass 10 yards to his Matic type player.

With Owen and now Neville coming out now saying he a quality player and taking a shot at the media getting on Stones back, have the feeling they paving the way for a move to the scum.

Funny how no former players have come out and said the same thing about Sterling.

If Laporte signs, its hard to see City going for Stones.

No it isn't.

 

[OB1]

You've been told Stones would prefer to go to United over City this summer?

Why on earth would that be his preference?

 

[Marvin]

No it isn't.

So we'd have Kompany, Otamendi, Laporte and Stones. What a waste. And that's assuming Mangala goes.

They can't all play, and you can't rotate central defenders. No one does that.

Only way that can happen is if he plans for Stones to play DM. Or he intends to implement a 3-man backline from day 1.

Besides Manuel pellegrini?

Vinny is constantly injured

I've a feeling that Kompany is going to be given time to recover so for the first couple of months at least you can discount him. Then you've got Otamendi who has been struggling for consistency, Mangala the same and then Laporte and Stones who don't play for us, with Stones not looking likely to. So I'd say our CB situation is far from ideal as it stands.
