Odear Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Stones is a decent prospect. But.. he's not even a 1/4 as good a player as Woodgate was when we got him. 50m? If City want to pay that.. more money than sense though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I wonder if Mbemba had the pap smear test done to determine his age? Could explain a few things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Stones is a decent prospect. But.. he's not even a 1/4 as good a player as Woodgate was when we got him. 50m? If City want to pay that.. more money than sense though. Utterly insane on the face of it. That fee would put him in the top 10 or so all time wouldn't it? For a player with barely 100 career appearances for Barnsley and Everton and nothing achieved of note. But aye, let's pay more for him than Figo or Zidane However, the money is almost irrelevant to them if they can take a still quite raw, decent player and progress him. Crazy amount of money, the league has so much of it swilling around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Money is irrelevant. It's just a case of City paying whatever for a player they want. Stones can't defend, which might cause them problems when he is expected to defend. Their possession game will hide his deficiencies for the most part. Until it really matters.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 He can defend, he proved as such the season before last which is why he got hyped to begin with. He had a very good season before last year actually, he was poor last year but it's to be expected and to be frank i think the impact of Clueless Martinez is being underestimated. As already said i'm convinced he'll be a lot better under a different manager who isn't as clueless on how to coach defending as he is, the bloke makes Rodgers look like Simeone.

STM Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Of course he 'can' defend but can he defend in say a champions league knockout game when it really matters? He has alot of work to do IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Stones looks a really talented player to me. Obviously the price is ridiculous but it's only like the Carroll situation. I wouldn't want to sell him if I was an Everton fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Juventus have accepted an offer from Manchester United for Paul Pogba. The Premier League club are preparing the contracts and documents to finalise the midfielder’s signing. United have agreed to pay €110m (£92.7m) plus add-ons for Pogba but it is understood Juventus will announce the initial fee as €100m (£84.3m) to take account of the tax they will pay. The final details of the deal were settled when Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, met Juventus in Turin on Thursday. Juventus had been asking United to make all necessary payments to Raiola but have agreed to give him a fee for his work on the deal. He will also receive around €20m from United. If Pogba’s fee is announced as €100m it will place him level with Gareth Bale as the world’s most expensive player. That is what Real Madrid paid to take Bale from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013. Pobga is set to become United’s fourth signing since José Mourinho was appointed as manager, following the defender Eric Bailly, the striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Ibrahimovic trained with the team for the first time on Thursday, having been excused the trip to China, and is expected to make his debut against Galatasaray in Gothenburg on Saturday. United hope to have completed the signing of Pogba by then. The 23-year-old must undergo a medical before sealing a return to the club he joined from Le Havre in 2009 and for whom he made seven first-team appearances before leaving for Juventus in 2012. Mourinho has indicated that Pogba’s arrival will signal the end of United’s significant transfer business this summer, having targeted four players. “Our fundamental market is 75% done,” he said last weekend, “and when we sign one midfield player that crucial work will be done.” Mourinho did rule out further purchases, though. “Sometimes things happen that you are not expecting, and we have to react,” he said. We'll see if this triggers a Sissoko to Real Madrid transfer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Doubt he cares, but can't be good for the academy and youth coaches relations with Mourinho as they have presumably been there a quite a while bringing through a lot of very talented youngsters for Jose to waltz in and decide to get rid of them a month into the job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
