John Stones

[BlueTG]

Personally underwhelmed by this one, mainly because I haven't particularly rated Stones during his time in Everton. Here's hoping watching him regulary changes my opinion of him, but my God if there's a club that needs a centre back to work out for it, it's us. Forza City.

Like Pep on a beach
Played around, passing to feet
Like John Stones - winning games at home.
Like a winners reach
Striding out with the ball at his feet
Like John Stones - winning games at home.

yay, just need Kroos now and I'll be happy.

Christ, I've been in work all day and not heard about this until now! Hopefully he'll be a good signing and prove to be worth the outlay.

 

[Matt the Giant]

Absolutely thrilled with this signing! I can easily see him becoming a legend with and for us, future captain of both team and country.

Not read through the pages so sorry if already mentioned... Will he start alongside otamendi on Saturday?

 

[BlueMedic]

Potentially a fantastic acquisition. Seems hand made for a Pep team, will hopefully significantly improve our ability to play out from the back alongside Kompany/Otamendi - throw in Gundogan & potentially a ball playing keeper and we might actually be good at it rather than terrifying.

Had plenty of game time with Everton too so expect he'll make his debut against Sunderland.

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?

And a lot are saying he's going to be world class.

Given he's just left and the nature of football fans, I know which set I'll believe.

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

I can't view, the fat, ugly, bird scaring, virgin, rapey **** blocked me when I showed him up on his figures when we made a profit last season and he'd made a blog saying we wouldn't.

They seem pretty divided on GOT. Some are happy he's gone, some are pretending they're happy he's gone, some are very bitter and quite a few are wishing him well. Nothing like it was with Lescott.
