John Stones

[Butaan4barca]

Seems like UEFA have accidentally leaked that he's off to City

and they have accidentally leaked gabriel jesus to mancity is a tabloid scam

 

[BenRobbins]

Surely they are better off going after Koulibaly or Manolas or somebody you know that actually can defend?

Its official

I see you got yourself new glasses huh

Whut?

John Snow officially a city player.

 

[BenRobbins]

£47.5 million on Stones
£42 million on Mangala
£32 million on Otamendi

Full backs are still a joke.

In the last 3 years. Only Otamendi isn't a shambles and he hasn't settled that well. Pep needs to pray Kompany can stay fit for most of the season and Otamendi has a really good season if he has any aspirations of winning silverware this season.

Defenders are expensive, simple as.

Surprised Koeman sanctioned this move unless the club gave some assurances to the player, still Stones is coming off 2 less than impressive seasons in a row. Pep will have to hope he gets something out of him else City are in trouble defensively

maybe he was okay with the transfer himself. Rumour is he is going after Williams from swansea.

 

[FCBarca]

They share the same agent so you'd think that Koeman knew what was happening even before he signed for Everton

£97m gets you Sterling and Stones and Pogba was overpriced...Was bang average all season if he wants a ball playing defender Laporte has a similar release clause and is miles better.

 

[Topolino]

Laporte just signed a long-ass contract with Bilbao with a big release clause. Besides he was injured last season for almost 4 months.

Laporte signed a new contract to stay with Athletic. He wasn't going anywhere this transfer window. And he wasn't "miles better" than Stones. Laporte is a promising young player but he still had games last season where he was all over the place.

Forget the transfer fee. Good signing IMO, centre back option sorted for 15 years.
