John Stones

I'll have you know that Jordan Ibe is the next great dipper hope and the reason they don't care about Sterling since Ibe is a much better player anyway. It must be true, I remember all the dippers saying so when Sterling left.

They did, and in large numbers!
Now most would snatch your hand off for 15m.

Mind you, I think I'd take 30m right now for Sterling.

We're not going to announce all signings immediately when players need to be offloaded. It affects our selling fee negotiations.

You can't keep a signing secret.
The selling club will announce it, even if we don't, and there's too many people at PL / UEFA who'd leak it etc.

Are we in for him?

Stones is probably on holiday, I've seen that a few of the other England players are at the moment.

Everton certainly aren't issuing a hands-off warning like last summer.

I would like to preface this by saying I know everyone is different but Zinchenko was in Spain taking pics of Camp Nou and Bernabeu before the very next pic said " welcome to Manchester". There was several players in the copa libertadores game yesterday who have flown to Europe, taking pics with their new club's shirt and signed their contracts before flying back to play. I also think that as a character trait you would want to handle business before going off on holiday.

I know what you mean, but on the other hand maybe City want to ensure they have the right players in before letting others go. So we are not in a position where we have to buy players for the sake of it. EG If Bony is to go I would expect a replacement to arrive before he is sold, otherwise we are a player light in that position.

The club cat?

If thats the case then Everton must have given us permission to talk to him surely.
