John Stones

[Exeter Blue I am here]

60 million for stones is silly money.

I predicted (not that it required any great perspicacity) weeks ago that this would end in acrimony with the player forced to threaten strike action, with City cast as the pantomime villain and the Blue Dippers as the plucky victims (who'd have thought). You can't do business with Scousers or Italians, cos the latter specialise only in political chicanery to make themselves look good in the eyes of their fans, and the former are consumed with bitterness over the fact that we've left them far behind and wish to occupy a faux moral high ground that exists only in their own heads

It's not gonna be 60m.......the "Telegraph" account is a fake.

You say this but Lukaku just keeps scoring more goals each and every season. He has his flaws, don't get me wrong, but stats don't lie. And the stats say Bony isn't comparable.

If you want competitive leagues then Bony in the PL: 165 minutes per goal, Lukaku 180 minutes per goal. They do math differently in scouseland?

15 minutes per goal?

So does this mean David Nugent is a better striker for England than anyone else, because he played one and scored in one, thus having 90 minutes per goal.

So stats only apply when they back you up but as soon as it's shown that they don't support your arguments they suddenly don't count? Did I get that right?

60 million for Stones would make Phil Jones look like a bargain haha. God knows how Stones even has a thread with 500 pages, is the hype that real?

The imminent signing is real - not sure about the hype yet.

I'm amazed.

Underwhelming signing, we need an expeerienced centre half, not a kid with a lot to prove.
Same with Sane, looks very raw to me, big gamble.

I don't know how Everton are looking at more money then they was wanting last year. Stones has had a very poor season and yet they think his value increased.

Agreed, I suppose with the English quota, his price was always going to remain stubbornly high but still, there should be a limit here as to what we should pay.
We really fell behind last season and needed a few top drawer signings, aswell as getting a load off the wage bill.
Those pricks down the road have got their act together it seems, it's still early days but we've got a few ins and outs to go!
