John Stones

[Claytop]

I still don't see Everton dropping their valuation of him. They said £50 million from the very start and have stuck to that. This stalemate is just pointless as it won't be them to blink first it'll be us.

Pretty much the same as the Sterling and KDB negotiations. I'm pretty sure both clubs know we'll pay the money which renders it a pretty pointless excercise from us.

Aslong as we get him I don't really mind but for the sake of trying to save face he could be training and playing under Pep already.

did he come off because he was playing badly (losing 2-1) or maybe because his mind wasnt on it? It was his first start so it cant be to rest him.

it would have been 50m in June, 50m today, and will be 50m on August 20. Fork it over, Txiki.

Man City will not meet £50m asking price for John Stones

Manchester City are refusing to make John Stones the world's most expensive defender.

Pep Guardiola is prepared to walk away from a deal for the England international if Everton do not lower their £50m asking price.

With Juventus centre back Leonardo Bonucci still an option, City feel confident enough to stick to a hardline stance over Stones.

yes txiki !

Good !

If we don't value him at what Everton want walk away. Many benefits from doing this.
