Let's hope City sign him and leave Laporte free to join us :coffee:

Or we sign someone like Umtiti...

I have never even seen Umtiti play, but I'd still rather blindly pay 20M for him than 80M for Stones.

We won´t pay that much money for Stones.They only wrote that the club likes the Player very much and would sign him right now if it was possible.But with this price tag and english Clubs going after him it seems unlikely.

and yeah it´s MD.

Not for this kind of Money.Even 30M would be stupid considering the season he just had.

Never going to get a young player with that potential for 30m.

Not saying pay 80m or has been worth it on last season but he is worth a lot more on 30m.

Average players are going for that.

I suspect that if Barcelona were serious about buying Stones then they could get him for less than Chelsea or United, partly because he wouldn't be going to a domestic rival and party because he'd force his way out. All things being equal I could see Barca being in for him, but when they can get Laporte for probably half the price, I doubt they'd bother.

Can´t go for him then this season as we would spend almost the whole Transfer budget on a single defender when we should strengthen more positions.
I think he should stay another season at everton but he will probably go to one of the big english Clubs.

Thats different from saying he is not worth 30m. He is worth more than that.

Whether Barca can afford that just now is a different argument.
