Arsenal want him on loan according to *** ***

I personally think that would be a good move. Get his confidence up and see if he fancies fighting for his place in the summer or put in a price of 80 million for them to buy him.

Then again if he goes no doubt all our other CB's will get injuries.

We would be lucky to get 30million for him

80 million what? Because surely you don't mean 80 million British Pounds for John Stones?

Not a fucking chance we loan out John Stones now.

If slaphead can join the scum for that figure then the precedent is set.

I don't think it will happen for reasons stated earlier in this thread. Lack of cover etc.

Probably a made up story but I actually think that's a move that would suit both parties.

I just can't see him ever being good enough to hold down a place here and the competition will only get tougher as we'll almost certainly be signing at least one top class CB in the summer. I think he needs to go somewhere he'll play regularly and get his career back on track

Sun reporting that Arteta interested in Stones on a loan deal.

I hope that City do not agree. We know that Laporte is very close to a return, but I want to see Stones and Laporte together. I rate Stones. I know he hasn't been at his best in the last 6 months but I think that's down to repeated injury and confidence. He's got everything to be a top defender and I think it would be a mistake to let him go even if it's just a loan.

Why the fuck would we agree to that. It's not like we a load of options at CB
 
Likely a load of bollocks and there's no chance we'll be letting a CB leave (other than Otamendi), given our current predicament.

But if Arsenal (or someone else) do come in with a big offer in the summer similar to what we paid him, I'd be shipping him off.

It's a difficult one as he could come good, but you just can't trust him. He may well go on to be in some incredible form over the next few months, but he's shown that doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things. He's too injury prone and inconsistent and the fact he still hasn't been extended is telling given the number of Pep signings who have been extended, despite joining after him.

If Laporte can prove his fitness over the second half of the season and get back to his best, I would be tempted to sell both Otamendi and Stones, buy a world class CB to partner Laporte, extend Fernandinho for one more season and make Garcia our 4th choice CB, with Harwood-Bellis taking the role that Garcia's been playing in this current one.
