John Stones

[1961_vintage]

Sky Sports News HQ understand City’s owners are confident they can wrap up a deal for Everton defender John Stones in the next week.

Wankers - just one of our many "guests" on here no doubt.

From which source?

His drinks cabinet.

Yes but when a player says I want to go, and you've got a club bidding for him, you don't wait until a fortnight before the season to start moving. maybe it's not as it looks.
Everton fans on here seem to be big fans of their new regime. I guess they want to believe in them.

I understood there is no new regime, just a new investor. Bill's still there, right ?

A friend of mine who support Everton believe that Ronald Koeman has seen enough now after 2-3 games to start getting new players in. They've lost all their preseason games so far I believe as well.

Fonte bid surely means they expect Stones to be gone soon.

No. They expect Stones to go. Not to be gone soon ...

Everton beat Barnsley 3-0 and MK Dons 3-1, lost to Dynamo Dresden 2-1 and drew in normal time to Real Betis 1-1(losing penalty shootout 4-3)

the sale of stones will not mask over the extent of which everton as a club are so distant from the football elite. the infrastructure of the club has to be right first, and there is a lot of work to be done on and off the field. stones and lukaku will leave for certain and we will only have 4 weeks in which to replace them and a few others. progress will not be rapid and over the next few seasons we may see the results or stagnate as is the norm. commercially we have to improve , and can see a few seasons of turmoil

Course he can be wrong, but I think we know enough about him to know he will have had a good look at Denayer and my guess is he will keep him here as our 4 th centre back , but if he doesnt it may be a mistake but it wont be because he hasn't bothered looking. I think the reason we seem to be out of the fullback market is from what he has seen from Angelino and Maffeo.

And Zaba's reportedly staying.
