John Stones

£47.5m breaks down as £7.5m to Barnsley, and a health £37m profit for FFP and increasing out wage budget.

I'm happy with that. Spend about £12.5m on Williams and £17m on Kone, our defence improves massively and we've still got about £7m left over. Factoring in Gueye that means we would then have a total net spend of ZERO.

Christ thats depressing

The most dissapointing aspect of this for me, is that we found out via City`s CL teamsheet that it was happening.
This is when we have new board members and a director of football, it does not bode well for the future and makes us a bit of a laughing stock

Should have just announced it last night when it happened.

City admitted he had not signed at 10 o'clock this morning...you know different?

Haha Don't be so naive Steve, you honestly think he wasn't signed at 10? Surely you're not that daft.

 

[Steve Wigan]

I think its pretty certain that we'll concede less in the Prem this season than last, which is an enormous boost to our chances in the league.

I always thought a big sale would trigger something , looks like we will get Williams now and probably another CB , Pogba going will also start some balls rolling so I can see a UTD midfielder moving out too.
Lets not be too upset about Stones , it was bound to happen , just glad it wasnt the Scumbags in west London.
I wish him all the best.

why did we need a big sale to ttrigger it off after all we had an alleged 100 million pound war chest - it would have been maybe more acceptable if 3-4 players had been snapped up in the correct aeas and if Galloway goes out on loan I am even more disgusted!

IMB it is a sad day for us that due to various circs we were unable to retain a top quality footballer. I suppose those boo boys on the terraces will e happy now until they find another victim.

Good luck John, thanks for all the games you have played and I will never forget that penalty.

 

[Blue 1]

Looking forward to stinging City for £140m for Mason Holgate in a couple of years, like.

 

[BiggyRat]

Shouldn't this be in World Football now? We've got plenty of transfer threads active without worrying about a City player...

You're just believing what you want to believe,in order to put the 'blame' on the club you support. So whats new? Bungle,indeed.

Because we have a manager now who knows defence is important. It is about how players are used not what we have.

yep too many dinosaurs in our fan base, stones actually left the club with more class than hibbert could ever muster, some of culture less fans prefer players like hibbert

That's a big help as well...but it looks as if we're getting some ready made strength in defence,added to the managers ability,all of which is positive.

 

[Zatara]

World's most expensive defender. Crikey.

David Luiz?

OK, so it's been reported that a deal was sorted last night, very early this morning his name appeared on the squad City have submitted to UEFA, well before 10am, he's had his photos and interviews done before the official announcement, but you don't think he was signed before 10am?

He's gone and that's that, so I'm not sure why it's relevant, but if you think it wasn't done until later this morning I think you're wrong.

David Luiz?
