Others had stated there had been negotiations, a price had been agreed, a contract had been agreed, it would be announced as soon as the Euros were done, etc. I said this was not the case. Stones stated his interest in joining City and that was the extent of the situation. Once the Euros ended, negotiations would begin.

I wouldn't be against Bony coming here. I'd prefer we looked elsewhere and got someone like Slimani, who we've been linked to for months and months. But as uncommon as exchange deals are, if we were to get £40m + Bony for Stones, I'd be happy. I certainly wouldn't value him at £20m given how he's underperformed for you, regardless of why.

Stones under performed for you,so where do you get this £40 million plus Bony price tag from ?

Hearing the Bony exchange may have hit a big of a snag over wage demands. Everton wanting City pay a percentage of his wages after the transfer.

I'm sure the numbers will be chucked into a spreadsheet with a number of different variables, and they will come to a decision. Only thing is, these things are never quick

Is Bony going on loan or permanent?

It's a bit rich to value Stones at £50+ million despite having a very poor second half to the season and not even getting a game for England at the Euro's and whilst playing down Bony's valuation.

Bony has performed at a far higher level in the PL than Berahino, Deeney and arguably Benteke and they have all had bid rejected of £20+ million.

In a market where James Tomkins, Ross McCormack and Dwight Gayle are all valued at over £10 million, its fucking ridiculous to not value Bony at a minimum of £20 million.

In that case Everton have to pay him 100% of his wages. A reduced fee could be a way round it of course but we cannot pay a portion of his wage every week like in the past with Fowler and Adebayor.

Possibly mate, I don't know the rules around these things. Just passing on the word

Wasn't it you who said money was no object to you now and you can get who you want no problem?
Stones underperformed for you so 20m should be enough for him then
