sterling had 2 years left on his contract so we were in better position.

 

[razman]

Txiki !

I think Stones will be a City player before the new season starts.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Guardian and Telegraph both saying it.

That makes it no more emphatic.

Stones will only reach his full potential under a manager like Pep. Playing his system, for this he's ideal. Other clubs and managers would view stones style of play a liability. He's not worth anything like Everton expectations to many other clubs. Forget him and move on.

Anyone think that the performances of Tosin have made the signing of Stones somewhat less important.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

If I was him I'd just run my contract down. He's nowhere near a £50m player. Lets leave it until next summer and see how the land lies then. You never know we might end up getting this lad on a free sometime in the future.

No it really isn't. It's the right move to make. If players want to be part of this they can push for the move.

Look at Jesus turning down Barca & rags because he wants to play for Pep. Nolito turned Barca down.

Let's see who really wants to be here.

What do you want him to do, stop coming to training? He's still a professional. He put in a transfer request last year and from what we know he's told them he wants to leave, so may have done so again this summer.

If we didn't plan on increasing our offer this all could have been handled a month ago and moved onto other targets.
