John Stones

I'm going to have to agree with this. On current form, ex Rag or not, the simple fact remains that JFE is better than Stones at the present time. We should have bought him for £30 million when we had chance. Better than Stones or indeed Otamendi.

Nonsense!

Leicester signed him for £3.5m. Anyone paying £30m was getting robbed

£30 Million was the price tag at the time, regardless of what happened afterwards.

Nonsense!

We'll agree to disagree. ;)

The drop in fee on west broms (guaranteed) relegation was widely known and reported. Hence it was £30m price tag which was never going to be met because anyone could have waited 6 months and got him 90% off

I hear what you are saying and agree, however we were looking in the January window not the summer hence £30 Million.

Is it me or is this the stupidest rumour I have ever heard. Why would we weaken the team in the one area where we are extremely short of options.

John's agent trying to mix it up I imagine. He also represents Arteta doesn't he?

If he can get himself fit and play more than three games in a row, I’m sure that he can become an asset to us again and earn himself a place in the team, only then can his agent try and mix it up.

No thanks. I've never seen a player for us cop more unwarranted stick by our supporters than John Stones - it's unfathomable.

He's still only 25, an English international, and a starter in two title winning squads. If someone wants him, then they can cough up around about the same figure the Rags did for old Slab head. Otherwise, go fish.
