Barkley was far worse last season than Stones has been over the last few months and he came back stronger for it, Stones will too. He is still a kid and many on here forget that.

Raining Stones: Centre-half is coveted by many big clubs in England
Barcelona have lost interest in Everton defender John Stones over doubts that the 21-year-old could adapt to La Liga.
The Nou Camp club have been following Barnsley-born Stones for a while as they look to add a quality young centre-back this summer.
But after making local enquiries into the youngster’s personality and temperament, there are sufficient fears over his ability to adapt that Barca will not enter into competition with the Premier League elite for his signature.
Additionally, the price being driven up by the likes of Manchester United, cross-town rivals City and Chelsea means that Stones has become too expensive a risk for the European champions to consider.

Amazes me that you're actively wanting to sell one of the best players we've had here in over 20 years...

Enquiries into the Yorkshireman’s personality raised enough red flags to convince the Spanish giants they should look elsewhere for a defender

Bull crap.
Their 'loss in interest' conveniently coincided with Pep joining City...

More likely they lost their interest because he'll be one of the most expensive CBs ever when there are more experienced CBs out there that are the same age as him and cheaper.

I don't necessarily think that, but he's the same age as me if not younger and if I was on the pitch getting booed etc the amount he does my confidence would be ruined.

I would love to see him stay , but i think he is on his way out
More experienced CBs at the same age?
Kind of contradicts itself?
Laporte is the same age and played around the same games.
Varane is older, already at Real.
Marquinhos is the same age as well I believe - I imagine that'll be the one they go for.
But no mate, the reason is is that City are in pole position. Not saying it's a definite but all the fans want their first signing to be Stones, and Pep has tracked him while at Bayern.
Barca will know that the draw of Pep and the 'Barca' style without having to change culture will be much more of a draw to Stones than moving to Spain at this stage in his career...

You mentioned the ones I was thinking of tbh, Laporte and Marquinhos are both 21, have played in the CL and will be cheaper than Stones.

totally agree, mori and jags can be our centre pairing for the next 10-15 years.
I get your point.
Then again IMO they play in weaker leagues as well?
They have the CL experience but they aren't challenged as much weak in weak out - well, Marquinhos isn't - Laporte is in a good league.

I think it's perfectly possible to want him to stay but also believe the club should sell him. We're not minted, and Stones could fund signings in weaker areas. We would not be greatly weakened by him leaving, irrespective of how good he may go on to be.
There's literally zero evidence that he wants to go???
