John Stones

[BlueMedic]

I've always been a fan of us signing either Stones or Laporte this window rather than both, the decision now only has one option so hope we get him.

Imagine he'll be at us or united next season, like to think we're the more desirable choice.

The worse possible thing for me, would be missing on Laporte and then Stones picking the rags. Not only would we be missing on 2 of our biggest ,long term targets but also mean that we'd likely have to go into a new season, with everyone knowing we tried to replace Mangala but we couldnt....personally feel, this deal is even more important now that Laporte is off the table and just hope we dont try and get clever with our bids. Starting point is going be 40mil after this is what was rejected last summer and I think its going to take a Sterling type offer to get this done....

I must have missed something. Who has said we are looking to replace Eli?

When Otamendi came in wasn't there talk of Mangala going out?

Yes a loan to spain i think it was,just as well we didn't with vinny out and demi getting old overnight,i think the whole handling of the defence was piss poor and we just got away with it

It was reported last summer that we tried to loan out Mangala when we signed Ota, but Mangala refused to agree to the move and wanted to fight for his place in the squad....and this summer, we've had Stones and Laporte at the top of our shopping list which would make me think, Mangala could be the first to go if new CB's are added....

Yes mate....it was reported that he refused to agree to the loan move last summer and wanted to stay in Manchester..

Thanks for the clarity. For one moment I thought you were talking facts

It's Lukaku's agent but his comments about Everton make it sound like it could be difficult to get them to sell Stones to us?

Lukaku's agent Mino Raiola says there's a new project at Everton, they don't have to sell. He'll only leave if 3 parties agree. #efc (La DH)

You can tell he's nailed on for city as he can't even get in this England side now ahead of Smalling. Woy just won't pick him now even if Smalling manages to give away stupid free kicks on the half way line time after time, and use his massive chest to cushion the ball pathetically back to Joe almost letting the Slovaks in to really embarrass us. Say's it all really, not part of Woys clique and he's coming.
