John Stones

I'm not surprised that it hasn't been formally announced; it's a complicated deal.

Not only does Stones need to go to City, we need to agree everything with Bony, and i imagine we want to sign his replacements in (hopefully) Williams and Kone before we announce so it doesn't push their prices up further.

I am fine with this deal particularly if Bony is thrown in aswell my only worry is Bony won't be coming here to play back up like he was at City so unless we are going 2 up top this could be the start of the transfer ripple effect that see's Lukaku off aswell.

They haven't. He's been replaced by Mangala now.

I'm not being naive, I've been saying it'll be as good as done. But, it is not yet done and that's why UEFA have changed it on their site.

On the site i am still seeing Stones, it hasn't been refreshed for me yet.

He was always leaving this summer. Rather him than Barkley (wow my prediction was way off with that one).

Better we have experience now rather than potential, need to get a solid team together short term rather than hope young players come good all at the same time.

And least stones doesn't have to move house again

He's still in the list I'm looking at on their site.

£42m plus add-ons. Record fee for a defender.

Bony is a decent player, and will score goals.

UEFA and Man City patting you on the head while you're thinking Everton are signing Koulibaly.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Any annoyance is offset by the hilarious balls up that has led to him ending up on City's official squad list while (technically) still an Everton player.

Can we try the same with Aguero for Saturday?

It must be done though as I cant see UEFA letting them register a player who isnt on their books. Its probably just all be signed before the deadline and the rest of the media stuff is being done today. Maybe we are striking a deal with one if their players and thats the hold up

City fans have said apparently thats how the Otamendi deal was leaked last year
