John Stones

Surprised only one club is in for him, so no bidding war.

Funnily enough, we posed this question/subject back in May...

It is back then that I was posting on it. Because of RM messing up I feel we really missed out.

Purely from a bloody-minded, money-making, point of view... where could the price end up were Jose to throw his Manu-logoed cheque book into the ring ?

At that ridiculous fee? Not surprising in the least.

50 mill for a defender 22 years old, he could be the equivalent of Suarez or Ronaldo in a few year in terms of value, mark my words.

Very strange when Jose wanted him last year and Chelsea after Koulibaly. We could have had a three-way bidding frenzy.

Agreed

He could go to City and possibly double his fee when he moves to Barca/Madrid/Bayern

Some thing like that, when he gets to about 25 think he might well be on the move.

Or he could end up at Sunderland in three years time. That's the thing about potential.

Let's whack a sell-on fee in there too then.

50% of anything over what they pay us for him.

 

[John Osters Love Child]

he's on the plane to Dresden which would suggest things with City aren't as advanced as Sky and every red top paper want to believe

That's up to us to put a selling on fee, just in case he comes to fruition which he may!

In that case would you also be willing to sign up to pay 50% of what they lose when they sell him to No Mark FC in three years time for 10 mil?

<dreaming of a defence of Koulibaly and Stones for the next 10 years>

Om nom nom

but he's more than just potential.

he's already a very very good player who is undervalued by a lot on here.
