Player Valuation: £100m
Stek was a nominal fee and Gueye was £7.1mil...and the less said about Valencia the better. We could have signed them with no sales.

Going off the higher numbers quoted for Bolasie (£28mil) and Williams (£12mil) it matches the £40mil we ended up with for Stones after paying Barnsley and i think their agent fees and signing bonuses would cover any difference.

So the question is...what would you prefer, Stones OR Bolasie + Williams?
 
Williams brings leadership and solidity that we previously didn't have (in the short term )

Gueye brings his ability to cover the whole pitch, tackle anything that moves and take pressure off the whole team due to this.

So I'd say at the moment I'd take those two over Stones.

Stones was never going to stay with us, just a shame he never went to Barcelona - hopefully one day he will .

Thats not the poll mate.
 


Just like in any relationship there has to be a mutual respect be that in a personal or professional manner.

An individual with less talent but with more desire and focus will be more welcome than a person with higher ability who is not committed.

Stones in the space of 12 months went from looking exceptional to a mistake ridden mess.

I would sooner have Williams.
 
Think it was really more like 9.5m for Williams and 25m for bolasie, so discounting Gueye seems harsh.

Fact is stones will be better than any of them will ever be but they are right for us now and they want to be here. Williams is exactly what we needed at the back, Gueye has been our best player so far and Bolasie gives us something extra on the wing.

Good business all in all, but it would have looked better if we'd have backed it up with some other business....

Why do our fans do this. He wanted out, he gone. Why keep bringing him up. It's pathetic

I think it is just another part of the fallout from the 0 net spend debacle.
After the discussion regarding the need to make significant wage increases, we then failed to utilise them after selling a prized asset. People are suspicious and are asking questions.

Why are we mentioning Stones, or any conundrum involving him,whether we like it or not he has moved on to pastures new get over it,let's concentrate on what we are left with.
