John Stones

[Bruun]

10m for average Gayle
12m for Townsend
12m for Tomkins

Three transfer fees which indeed shows the inflation of the market.

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

Well said, I'm amazed by the naysayers. He's almost the very definition of the Pep centre back. Really looking forward to watching this lad show what he can do.

 

[Chevelle]

Realistically he could be used as a fantastic DM?

 

[Sky Blue]

Fantastic player. He'll be a perfect fit. Just hope it's done soon.

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.

Keep everyone on there toes that way our players esp . Plus imagine opposition coaches trying to set up against us not knowing what to come up against

Perhaps not because Stones has wanted away for a long time now and Everton fans and media are not quite as bad as those across the park.

I thought that Sterling's treatment might be a nine day wonder and restricted to the fans of the selling club as with Delph. The way the Sterling saga has carried on has been an unpleasant surprise to me especially when it extends to playing for England. I do not rate the United layers in the England team but that does not stop be cheering if we win. When we win. I could never boo England players. I could never cheer if another British get beaten but perhaps I am out of touch with many modern fans.

Stones will be great signing for us, sure he will be overpriced but I don't mind overpaying for quality a bit. There is not many young ball playing defenders around, especially ones as comfortable with ball as Stones.

 

[johnmc]

Has he bought a house/flat yet?

Has he bought a house/flat yet?

Yes but he hasn`t bothered with a sink.

Will be a great signing no matter what he costs hopefully gets sorted soon
