John Stones

[yeah whatever !!]

Was just going to post similar ,just had a look at the daily mirror great shots of a genuine player happy to have signed ,compared to that prick at the swamp ,private jet,flash cars ,body double for haircut shots and posing all moody like a wannabe gangsta

Just summed up why i m glad to be blue and why I hate everything about the rags

Stones' job is to get the ball and give it to Gundogan, and I suspect he'll be very good at it. Great signing.

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

I very much doubt it, as Nic hasn't featured at all pre-season, as he is injured.

Read both of these articles, they'll get you set for the season:

I was firmly in the no thanks camp..... Reading that Owen loves him and pat Nevin thinks he has searing pace and is great in the air, something he has not and is aerially poor, I'm even more worried than I was previously

Thank the lord, the anxiety was killing me!

John Stones welcome to Manchester City!!
This was one I really wanted. The best young, ball-playing CB in the League. Just like Sterling, we didn't succumb to the asking price, well done everyone involved. Very nice interview, love that he came to watch us in CL, and how much he wanted to be here. I can't wait to see him get even better with us.

Anyone else feel this is the most important signing for pep so far. Without a player like stones then his set up and style potentially falls flat.

This can't be stressed enough. Have faith in defenders like Stones and for every stupid mistake he makes giving the ball away trying to play it out, he'll help ensure we dominate possession and maintain pressure 99% of the time. Absolutely crucial to the way we're looking to play and can give us a huge advantage against pretty much anyone. Don't let the media lead you on this transfer like they try with all our other defenders not named Kompany. Mourinho wanted him, Barcelona wanted him, Pep wanted him. It's an unforgiving position especially in this country where we expect and demand a different type of defender.

Just like with Mangala eh? Been shown no patience by many fans and the media alike.

Going to build a formidable CB partnership with Kolarov ;-)
Seriously. Great addition.
