Stones has said he's feeling fit and up for staying at City another year till his contract expires. I'm hoping he can stay fit because he is a top player. I doubt he will though.
As for Grealish I think there'll be one or two other clubs...
We were actually tentatively linked to John Stones earlier in the window.
And I still rate him alot.
But back to Grealish I can see this rumbling on for a while as clubs try to get better terms.
I'd be happy enough if we gave him away. I think City should offer him on a free just to get him off the payroll. Same goes with John Stones and that useless lump of Yorkshire lard, Kelvin Phillips.
This to me is possibly the only way this deal gets done.
2 years would cost us around 30 mil then he's free agent ( might be successful and want to stay here )
Apart from getting his wages off the books , City would be shouldering a huge loss...
