John Stones

[tiggsywiggsywoo]

Time to walk away.

40 million take it or leave it.

he's not worth 50. Chances are Everton won't sell at 40.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

I actually wanted Stones....shame

Are you basing that on a MEN article consisting of 3 sentences and no quotes?

I had about 12 replies and can't reply to them all so I shan't reply to any, to be fair! :)






Told you. Club won't budge from £50m.

I still expect City to pay it, mind.

Guardian and Telegraph both saying it.

 

[Andouble]

Terrible news.

 

[bumbleblue]

Wonder if it will be like ok then 45 mill and adding to 52 or similar !

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Good, £50m was ludicrous

I don't. Good luck keeping Stones happy considering he's lost the chance of CL football and probably a £50-70k pay rise. Don't think he'll be extending that current contract after last summer and now this

Terrible news.

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.

Stop using sense. It's over.

Didnt liverpool say the same about sterling! Personally not arsed either way we have enough cover now without him.

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

 

[razman]

he will join don't worry all ..after all sterling was similar .. we ended up 49m a full 1m short :)

Txiki !

 

[Kompany is King]

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

That makes it no more emphatic.

 

[tiggsywiggsywoo]

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.

 

[dave_blue12]

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.

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.
