Rumoured John Stones

[LAM09 6,572]

How did they dodge a bullet? They got a top notch young cb.

Have you watched him play in the last twelve months?

Also, you're off your rocker if you think he's value for money. HG crap once again.

I actually think he'll develop very well under Pep.

In what universe? 

We're light years behind Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid, and even Tottenham/Liverpool 

But yes, over the next couple of transfer windows, if we fill our squad with more dynamic/athletic players, maybe we'll catch up to modern football soon enough. 

Liverpool?

Liverpool?

I was talking about the fact we're behind them in term of having a system that can adequately press/ and counter press teams effectively. 

Not entirely on a footballing scale. 

Edit: I know we're not in a good place right now, but not that bad.

Last year I said: " Zouma is better";

Now I say: "Christensen is better".

Harsh on Zouma as he hasn't even played this whole year really

Everton rejected the Blues' advances for Stones 12 months ago, and the new Citizens recruit believes holding out to work with his current boss was a masterstroke

Manchester City defender John Stones feels it was a blessing in disguise that he did not join Chelsea a year ago and instead plays for "best manager in the world" Pep Guardiola.

Chelsea, then managed by Jose Mourinho, made a strong push to sign the England international prior to the 2015-16 season, but did not produce a bid that tempted Everton to sell.

Instead, Stones remained at Goodison Park for that campaign before joining City this month for a reported fee that could eventually rise to £50million.

Stones, 22, has always been in a hurry to reach the top level and compete to win trophies, but feels his move to Chelsea not materialising should now be seen as a positive as it means he gets to work under Guardiola.

"I suppose what happened turned out to be a blessing in disguise," the centre-back told reporters.

"I stated last year what I wanted to do. It didn't happen and so I just got on with it, kept going, set out to win games and improve as a player.

"For me personally, I am now working with the best manager in the world. I'm over the moon to be at City and learning from a manager like Pep Guardiola.

Did you actually read his quotes? There was nothing wrong with what he said. He's complimenting his new manager. The headline make it out as if he's having a go at our club when he wasn't at all.

Well Stones ir overrated and overpriced but I think Pep style of play doesn't help him. He would look much better in other teams.

[TheIceMan 596]

All that wasted money!!!

[The Skipper 20,593]

Another one. 

[LAM09 6,572]

£50m for a "ball playing CB". That's working out well.
