Stones tells Everton he wants Man City transfer

[Darth Toffeeman]

Good riddance. A silky player on the ball but as has been proven in the league and euros you need guts and desire to be a successful defender. He has no stomach for a fight.

 

[Ring master]

The echo dont half take there time,last week said something like agents were using us when they said we werent after players they are now linking us with etc,this stones leaving could have been used so many times the last few weeks,and most probably expected him to go anyway,the next thing it will appear to the outsiders that we are signing players using the john stones money and so on,even though we wont be lol

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Good for him if he wants to be the next Lescott

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Crap anyway.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[DonMakaveli]

£50m will buy us 2 top top cb's to replace him - Well chuffed with that

 

[efcjames]

This could either go really well for him, or terribly badly.

 

[summerisle]

Wailing Stones gather no loss.

 

[BiggyRat]

Never liked his haircut anyway...

Depressingly- £50 million buys you Tory Deaney and Jordan Ibe in 2016

 

[The Rhino]

Considering we only get £42 million from the deal his sale will only fund a top class replacement if you believe Koulibaly will cost £40-50 million and Van Dijk will no doubt cost £30-35 million.

 

[Ashtonian]

Haha no he doesn't.

We are selling him. Therefore this is just spin on the transfer to ease it along with fans.

Propaganda at its finest. Least we know the deal should go through quicker.

Going to be one of the best centrebacks in the world, just a shame it won't be with us.

As for people who claim he will be easy to replace for a fraction of the cost, just take a look at the two managers who have tried to sign him and then look in the mirror and ask yourself if you think you know more than Pep and Jose??

Think you will find the answer is no.

Do I think I know more than pep or Jose? No
Do I believe his replacement will cost less money and will our defence be an improvement on the one stones was part of last season? Yes without a doubt.

 

[Anna]

not going to cry over him. He wanted out last season, he appears to want out again, would like for him to stay, as I think managed properly he will be a fine defender, but meh, as long as we get a good amount for him, bye Stones.
