At what stage does stones become the player we were led to believe he would become ? Excuses are wearing thin. If pep is the coach he's made out to be then surely stones has got to step up to the plate and become the main man. Evans will in no way shape or form improve us ,in fact he will just add to the problem. City have become a graveyard for Centre backs, they cant all have been shite.

i think Stones is going to have a big season, looking forward to him progressing.
 
I sort of get the need to add to the HG quota and bring in someone who know the PL but the wages being talked about are madness. Not worth more than 100K a week surely and even that's a lot. Need to be careful as one of the reasons we struggle to shift is because of the nonsense wages we pay to average players like Mangala, Nasri, Hart and Bony.

Why didn't we go for Maguire or Keane, both proven in the premier league, both young and homegrown?

We clearly aren't looking for someone young. They want someone with an experienced head on him that is not flaky like Ota. This signing will be as much about the psychological profile of the player as his technical ability. It's about helping Stones develop that side of his game.

Any senior player in our squad is going to be on big money.

So long as he performs as the people buying him expect, I doubt that they will be looking to move him on in a hurry. If Vinnie stays fit enough, it will be Ota that is moved on next summer.

I suspect Tosin will need one or two seasons out on loan before he secures a proper first team squad berth, if he ever does.

I kind of agree but if we aren't going to go out and do what we should do (buy a very decent CB because we are too reliant on Kompany) then I think it is at least important that we get someone who can organise a bit in Kompany's absence. I agree that we have second rate alternatives at the club already and there are plenty of second rate players who aren't dyed in the wool rags who would cause less consternation amongst the support knocking about. But Evans is experienced, is West Brom captain and should be able to keep Stones and/or Otamendi in line when Kompany isn't there because god knows neither of them can do it of their own accord. I think that is the reason he has been chosen rather than just going for any other average chump.

So we have kompany(fingers crossed) and two defenders we can't rely on and our answer is to sign a West Brom player to help them. We need jonny Evans to keep our highly paid expensively bought defenders in line. And we wonder why some fans are a tad bemused?

I though the plan was to win the league and be one of the big boys in Europe.

We will be arguing about this until it's resolved one way or another but a mate has just texted me

Jonny fucking Evans what the fuck

I would imagine this was people first response hearing the news.

Jonny fucking Evans
