I don't care. I'm now Tosin's #1 fan. I am allowed certain amounts of delusion.

Think Tosin will be decent he just needs to develop into his gangly frame and get experience one for the future tho.

We have tried to instigate the passing game through the back with little success in the past, Stones will change this.
If we knock the ball long it is always a 50/50 challenge and normally the big man wins, not Sergio.
Play the ball out to nifty midfield and we play to Sergios strengths.
Good signing if we do sign him, been impressed with Tosin but not as much Denayer TBH.
Tosin will go on loan and we sell Denayer and more than likely Mangala but he could be back up.

What positions?Presumably if he signs, Jason and Tosin are both going to be off? We aren't going to get rid of Otamendi and Kompany will be here if he stays fit so I can't see either of those wanting to stay.
I'm interested in this signing if it comes off but not excited. There were positions that were more important to fill imo. Also Pep has already said he thinks Fernandinho can play CB so he can be added to the mix...

Central midfield, eapecially if Fernandinho does play as CB this season. The problem is there aren't many around that are good enough.What positions?

That's some blind happy academy clapping yet again right there when you said 'Stones is perhaps an improvement to Tosin but there is not a lot between them'. Ridiculous statement.I remembered he only had one yesterday when he squared the ball. The other time he lost his man was the 1-2 that shouldn't have happened if Denayer kept his position. Denayer had an issue with keeping his line yesterday and he doesn't really have unbeatable pace.
I like Tosin. He is good aerially, he had a clear header in one corner and on our end he cleared at least one that I could remember without any problem with his height. Stones is perhaps an improvement to Tosin but there is not a lot between them.
Gundogan. Fernando, Dihno, Yaya, Nasri, Delph. I think that's covered.Central midfield, eapecially if Fernandinho does play as CB this season. The problem is there aren't many around that are good enough.
Given Pep's apparent desire for Kroos, he obviously disagrees.Gundogan. Fernando, Dihno, Yaya, Nasri, Delph. I think that's covered.

Tongue in cheek. Read post #5590.

Denayer will give any of our cbs a challenge in a sprint & beat most, if not all. He caught Gareth Bale in a sprint on one occasion at right back position last season in a straight run.
Tosin was skinned alive at least twice at the halfway line on our right side, the kind of mistake which would be an almost certain easy goalscoring chance under Pellegrini, but we were able to cover it. Boateng & Piquet sometimes get done in similar areas but often it doesn't result in a chance. Stones may be allowed to hunt the ball in a similar manner.
