John Stones

Who has said he is?

We currently have more players than the squad restrictions allow. If we buy stones at least 2 need to be sold.

Hope not, a lot of money (50mil...seriously?) for a player in below average form and who can't get into the national team regularly.

We`ve had a fucking shite English manager who wouldn`t know a half decent player if he kicked him in his plums,so thats hardly a fucking endorsement through not being picked.

Bloody hell thats a blast from the past.Rowan and Martin.

Same question againthen. Who has said Bony is the one in tbhe way i.e. must be sold?

Bony imo was one of the top strikers in the country when Pelle the Clown signed him & is potentially worth more than most of the players for whom clubs are asking 25 30 mil.

Your more than probably right.....and out of choice Leicester may prefer Bony to Deeney, Palace may prefer Bony to Benteke and both happily pay the same even slightly more for Bony....however they have to pay wages and Bony is certainly on more than Deeney (probably more than Benteke,don't know for sure) ....then they become better value for clubs than Bony. Higher the wages...smaller pool of clubs that can afford a player.

Nobody to my knowledge.

Maybe, but the point was regarding Bony being 'in the way' of players coming in. Imo we ship out the players of little value or those who are easily transferrable before taking a hit on Bony.

He is potentially worth good money or, if necessary still a useful aseet to the squad, in spite of his lack of form so far. He still got us some crucial goals & if he stays in the Prem & does find his old form, we will have a shitty time playing against him.

If he's part of this deal, I hope we don't get the piss taken.

Or the wages just get rolled into a discounted fee.

So you're just putting 2 and 2 together then?

That is 5 allegedly .

I can only see EFC wanting Bony if Lukaku goes. As far as I know no one has expressed an interest in Lukaku.
