I think this is spot on. Crazy prices for mediocre players! I'm not calling Stones mediocre in that but he is well a risk, so well price prices.

It remains to be seen if his potential can be unlocked by Pep but another concern will be how he copes with the media. Sterling's obviously struggling (at the moment), and you know the media will be waiting like lions ready to pounce on Stones' every mistake, should he sign for City.
 
Not that arsed about any price tag, people need to get their heads around the fact that low mid-table prem clubs can throw around 30 million pound bids now, there's just no point comparing prices to past summers IMO. All I'm bothered about is that he's good enough. Clearly he's a talented lad but I think he's way too flaky defensively. I know it's not fashionable these days but I'd love us to sign one or two genuinely solid central defenders.
 
He is undoubtedly a good player but not sure he is a good centre half.

But he was coached by Martinez who had several good players in defence and failed to sort out a good back four.

The Trollograph thinks it is an open secret he is coming to us very soon.

He needs to make sure he wears a thick skin if he does.
 
I'm really looking forward to seeing this lad devolop under Pep, he's got all the credentials to reach whatever level he desires.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and predict him to be a regular future England captain, he's the closet thing I've ever seen to the great, late, Bobby Moore
 
I don't see why Stones would get the Sterling treatment. A big fee would attract comment, but then there have been a lot of those this Summer.

I don't know what system we are buying him for. Are we playing 3 defenders? We are assembling a very talented squad but it's difficult to know / impossible to know how Pep will set City up.
 
Very excited at the prospect of signing John Stones, he will go from strength to strength under Pep.
