Premier League Season 2016-17 Stuff it in here.

Not really fair to call Stones when he was playing for a manager that didn't believe in defending. He's a young lad with talent and time to develop. Do all the people who normally bum Guardiola think he's clueless all of a sudden?

[RowlattsFox]

A lot of money spent on 'potential' today!!!

 

Actually think Stones will develop into a good player but its still ridiculous. Not watched much of Pogba but I'm yet to see him play particularly well.

[AKCJ]

I think Stone's will one day be England's best defender (note, not best ever).

 

I think Man City have overspent but I do think that Stones will be a solid player.

 

Note that he used to play between Coleman and Funes Mori.

At City he'll play between Sagna and Kompany. It'll be a big difference.

[Wymsey]

Jesus Christ.

 

If we spent £100m+ like Man City have done all over the park, most of us would expect top-2 and some domestic cup win.

 

Even with what they bought, Guardiola won't find this league as a breeze.

 

Pogba could fall in the same category as Sterling, big money move but not as effective at new club as the ones before.

Apparently man city are also signing Aden flint from bristol city to play alongside stones...

[Guest Col city fan]

Nearly fifty mill for Stones and 87 mill for Pogba!!

It's mad, it's mad...it's madder than mad Jack McMad, winner of last year's Mr Madman competition!

Flint Stones... Meet the Flintstones.. Have a yabba dabba do time.. 

[TheSomersetFox]

Near enough £100m on Stones and Sterling. Blimey

[lgfualol]

How much have Man City spent on defenders to partner their crippled captain? £150m? Cant wait for Pep to have them passing the ball sideways for 80 minutes, Stones falls over trying to do a cruyff turn and Vardy scores.

Doing dragbacks and passing it across your own six yard box when attackers are onrushing is brainless and shit defending no matter who the manager is.

Dyche Is choking on his asda smart price cornflakes as we speak.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Stones for that is ridiculous, but him working with Pep is probably the best thing to happen for England.

Everton agree deal for Bolasie rising to £30 mill

[Max Power]

Everton just seem be chucking huge fees at mid table clubs. 

 

Bolasie, Williams. In for Bony and Kone as well

It's like what we could have bought if we'd chucked stupid money at it. Glad we didn't!!! 

[Max Power]

Really is no value in buying from England. Get away with one signing maybe

[StanSP]

£12m for Williams isn't too bad. That sounds about right for the quality you're getting.

 

£30m for Bolasie is absurd though.

[Fox92]

Bolasie £30mill  

[sdb]

I think the last 24 hours have made me even prouder to be a Leicester supporter. 

[Sharpe's Fox]

Bolasie has the same record last season as Jon Walters. Deary me Walshy has lost the plot.

[ajthefox]

Clearly no-one has learnt from us. Two horrendous deals for Stones and Bolasie.

 

I bet Walsh is loving his new team spunking £30m on Bolasie.

[Tuna]

 All of Walsh's targets are the ones linked with us. Gueye, Bony, Bolasie, Kone all linked this sumer.

[lgfualol]

Thank **** he left really if we would have ended up with those lot.

 

Palace fans I've seen think half of that amount for bolasie would have been a bit too much. Good for 2 games a season.

[Tuna]

Palace signed Townsend, who is better than Bolasie in the summer.

 

They've still got Zaha, Sako and Puncheon. Good business at 30 mill, 27 years old and for a winger in 3 years time he'll go like Shaun Wright Phillips when he loses his pace.

[ajthefox]

Not necessarily. We've been linked with no-end this summer, at least half of which are clearly just rumours.

 

Also for anyone in the PL, it's not like Koeman won't be aware of them. Everton aren't going to go for Kone if Koeman isn't interested just because Walsh wants him. Besides, isn't DoF a different role anyway?
