Pep has just spent all of this summer trying to buy 22 year old Stones for City and Everton sold. Coincidence that 2 of the top managers in the world coveted Stones? Or are you a better judge of a footballer than those two? Based on comparative prices for Williams and Stones it looks a good deal for Everton. Be honest, if Spurs had bought Williams would you be happy with that? I wouldn't if City had bought him. As a City fan I'm very happy we've got Stones. See you on the City thread soon ;-) Not really relevant to us because we have 18yo Cameron Carter-Vickers through our academy that we make no bones about having an awful lot of hope invested in. I'd be very interested in making a comparison between him and Stones in a couple of seasons, even though our lad is three years younger. Secondly, i think you'll agree theres not a cats chance in hell of Spurs ever paying that for a defender or anyone else for that matter.

Anyway with your money you should have bought both of them, Williams for the short term and Stones for the future ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need a center back so what you are asking is irrelevant. And regardless. My answer was and still is; we have a home grown player. Get it?

Anyway with your money you should have bought both of them, Williams for the short term and Stones for the future !" Personally not sure we need a CB, it's more a case of getting a CB that Pep (Mourinho and others) wants. Maybe from a financial resource level we could have bought Williams as well, but you've missed the point as Pep wants a footballing defender not an old fashioned British Centre Half type, plus we now need to shift a couple out to accommodate the new signings not buy a very soon to be 32 yr old defender like Williams. I repeat I would not be happy if we'd bought Williams (not that it was ever on the cards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 So Alfie, putting the fee aside, i gather you don't rate John Stones. Makes you wonder why all the teams that can afford him have tried repeatedly to buy him over the past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighten up, the new season is here, lots of fun and games to look forward to. ;-) i think the point i wanted to make and one thats being over looked by media and on here is what a very fine player Williams is. Last season he was exceptional, the best British defender by a distance and in him you have a natural leader in the team. And at 29yo he has a good 2/3 years in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record i do think Stones will turn out to be the real deal but theres a lot of work to do and whilst he has a good attitude he doesn't seem to understand the concept of basic, safe hands defending.

Bredbury Blue Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Can't believe the adoration all of a sudden for Williams. If he's that good he would have been snapped up long time ago and by better clubs than Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Alfie, do I think we need another CB. No, and I fhink I stated that here already. Otamendi, Mangala, Denayer, Tosin and of course Kompany if he gets fit should be more than sufficient. Sagna can player there. Pep fancies Fernandinho to play there. We have decent options. Do I think we should buy John Stones. Definitely as I think he will be an excellent defender over the next 12 years for us and will offer us something that Otamendi and Mangala don't offer - a defender comfortable with using the ball.

Bredbury Blue Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 City's starting CB pairing. Good question Alfie. I really think none of us know. You presumably are aware in the preseason we played Otamendi for half a game, Tosin played 2 whole games, and we made do with Kolorov, Clichy, Fernando and Fernandinho. I read Otamendi will have a late fitness test and if he's past fit then I reckon it will be Zaba..Stones..Otamendi..Clichy.If hehe's not fit then Alfie your guess is as good as ours.

Might be the time though for you Spurs fans to stop posting comments here that we City fans have to answer and post them on the City thread instead. Just a thought.
