John Stones

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

A pity so many of the signings wont be available for some time (for differing reasons) but on paper I think it's the best window we have had.

Can't wait for Gabriel Jesus to come in when January arrives as well

a lot on one of the EFC forums are glad to see the back of him saying he's decent on the ball but pretty much below standard at defending, iv'e not seen much of him,,, so sour grapes or true?

Just look at the early pages of the Stones transfer thread on here, it was pretty much the same opinion. Stones probably is below the standard, certainly our standard when it comes to defending but we haven't bought him for that. Pep clearly needs a footballer at the back for his system to work and is willing to sacrifice on the defensive side to get it. He's not a great defender but neither is Pique and he's done alright for himself.

Which school taught you correct English? Was the English master called Jollop?

What about 'advertise', for example? with a 'z'??????

Surprise?

Kudos to the ITK on the Stones thread yesterday who called the 24 number. Also to the one who said he was at the ground yesterday and Tolmie for his bit on Sunday :).

Can't believe the media totally missed this one !

Seconded.

I knew we'd announce it today just to disrupt the Pogba wankfest. Surprised it's first on SSN before Pogba though - I like.

@Bluearmy our boy is here :)

We need to stop ascribing things we do to the Rags. Nothing we do is about them. Are owner, management and Manager don't think about them when they act. It's high time our fans stop thinking about them. They are not why we do what we do.

John Stones signing is about our improvement, our legacy and our continued March towards being greater. Nothing about this, is about them . And already I've said too much about that :(

Thus!!!!

John Stones! Lord Defender of the Wall. King of North. Future Captain of the Bluemoon Enterprise.
Welcome to your destiny.

They know Nothing John Stones!! We've been waiting for you. :)

that has a nice ring to it. JOHN STONES THE KING OF THE NORTH !! ( potential flag material right there ;)

It's king in the north, not of. But I like the idea.

That bitter fucker from The Mail is in full form.
Have a quick look at his timeline and compare Stones with Pogba.

He reckons Barnsleys entire income for last season was £4.8m. I reckon it's closer to £15m myself.
