Several papers linking him with us again - this time I guess there may be something in it through the Arteta connection.

Big, strong centre half who has lost his way a bit at City.

He must be on a fairly massive salary >100k? ... that's another 5m on the wages budget ... if Arteta can bin Mavropanos that's 25k, sell Mustafi and that's another 80k off the wage bill ... but that's 2 players out just 1 in and it's not as if we have great defensive squad depth.

Those wages though, this would be a golden parachute for him to get resigned on those wages when he's not in top form.

Not sure I want that, is he really much better than Chambers or Holding? let alone all action Sokratis and Luiz's experience.

This guy doesn't seem like an improvement, just an expensive extra body.

Why would they let go one of their 2 fit CB’s

No surprise this was an exclusive from the sun

They need defenders as much as we do

Plus he's shit

But we have Arteta so can see stones coming.

It might mean they are getting Koulibaly or Upamecano.

I'd take him, hes better than what we have plus hes English.

Pep's getting murked in the league because of defender injuries, no way will he be letting Stones go. They're already poised to lose Cancelo 6 months after signing him.

They linked with Kouli though and Stones has not been getting game time since his injury, he might want to move to play his way into the England squad for the euros.

Joined Man City at a young age and has made his fair share of mistakes.

But he's a quality player and I think he'd do a good job for us.

Apparently he's 6"2 (1.88 m) and weights 70kg, he'll get brushed off the ball like a feather, plus he's rubbish, no thanks.

Hope this is nonsense, wouldn't put it past Arteta to go back and grab one of the worst City players, after all the guy rates Xhaka.

We should be going all out for one of those two, not wasting our time on Stones, we're in desperate need of quality at the back, sadly you can't see the club forking out like Liverpool did for Van Dijk, looks like massive bargain now, speculate to accummulate as they say, our moto is more like go cheap or go home.
