Im going to be p*ssed off if City get him, and get Stones. Also the signing of De Bruyne last year they will have 3 young players there with a high celing

Not concerned about any of them, although De Bruyne would have been a no-brainer last year, for us.

We can't stop City signing players. Sane is still very raw. But Shalke were a shite team last year. I don't know what impact that had on his performances.

Serious question for you then. Would you rather Stones over say Rojo or Jones? Would you rather Sane over say Januzai, or Lingard?

I saw a fair bit of Sane last season and for me he would be perfect on the right for us, of course he still needs to develop and get better but he is only 19?

I think Stones has potential. I am not saying he will ever reach the level of say Rio or John Terry, but he cant be worse than Jones or Rojo

De Bruyne would be my early pick for player of the season next year if I'm honest.

Complete neglect that we didnt sign this guy. Anyone could see this kid has it all, pace power creativity. Would have been a massive upgrade on Rooney, Mata, Lingard playing either as a number 10 or on the right. Im sure if he was given the opportunity which side of Manchester to join, the colour would have been red.
 
Not really threatened if he signs, seen him play a few times great potential, but hardly the finished product. City's business has been really average tbh, if Pep doesn't adapt quickly I can see them struggling
 
We paid €50m for Martial. So it's probably the going rate.
 
Guess Pep is planning on using him as a 3-4-3 inside forward, with De Bruyne on the other side.
 
I'd take him. Move mk inside

Schneiderlin Pogba
Sane MK Martial
Zlatan

Win everything

I think Jones is a much better defender than Stones on the rare occasions he's fit for a run of games actually. Stones is similarly terrible to Rojo at marking.

Jones isn't that bad. If he could develop without injury. He would be part of the English setup and solid defender. I hope he has an injury free season and cut out all the rash tackle then he will be fine.

I think you have better chances of winning the lottery than Jones does of having an injury free season.

Have you watched Johnes before joining US ? He was a damn good defender . SAF then moved him a lot here and there and now injuries too . He is always a better and will be a better defender than Stones. Stones is damn good with the ball but his defending barely impressed me anytime.

And again I dont think stones will move to US to be a third choice . And we already have Tuanzbe waiting on the door whose attirbutes are quite similar to Stones and in a year or two he will be competing for the third spot . And Williams is there too .

Sane is different . I am not sure how good he can be but he has the potential to be dangerous . But we just cant buy all the talents and we have just bought Mikhi to be the RW . I have a feeling Pep will revive Sterlings career and i'm worried about that actually than sane.

A year or two ago you could've said the same about Smalling to be fair. Now he's a caf favourite.

Jones was a decent defender before he joined us? You mean he was a standout player in a poor Blackburn side. The guy is always injured. It wouldnt make any difference to me if he was top quality. A player who is always injured is not worth sticking with. We have been down this road a few times recently with Owen, Anderson and Rafael to name a few. I would rather a player in the squad who will play week in week out and give me a 7/10 performance over a player who might play 30% of the matches and give a slightly higher rating
 
Sane? yeah. Good young player for me, haven't seen that much of him but of the little I have seen he is a player with a lot of potential if he is let loose to attack teams at pace, he will be useless if they try and stick him in a team trying to boss possession. Would be good to see him in the league but as others have said Im not bothered by them getting him and best of luck to him and them.

Johnes was not just decent .Jones made his first Premier League start for Blackburn against Chelsea on 21 March, just a month after turning 18 , and in the same season he made around 10 league appearances and at just 18. During the next season he started majority of games until the first injury (torn knee). His first season with us okay ( only some 15-20 games i believe ) but he couldnt stay fit after the first injury .

I am pretty sure Jose will go with Smalling and Johnes as our first choice CB's this season . If he stays fit he will keep is place or else he will sold in the next summer.

Couldnt disagree more. Bailly will start over Jones, and Jones wont be fit enough to warrant being first choice as you put it, and actually ability wise he is behind the rest for me

I watched Jones get decimated in the u21 sides. No way is Stones that bad.

Saw that too, he was decimated pace wise. Not entirely his fault due to match sharpness, but like i said before a guy that injury prone is never then fit to play 8-10 games to get his sharpness back. I do feel sorry for the guy as in there could be a talent, but the longer his body is made of glass, the more difficult it will be for him. I would definetely take Smalling, Blind, Bailly and Forsu Mensa ahead of him

I get the feeling that once upon a time you had big expectations of Phil Jones...

Not just pace, everything. Palmer made him his bitch in the game with Chelsea. Nutmegged him then turned around just to take him on again.

So your saying sell Jones? With his injury record, we'd be lucky to get £10m for him. That's shocking value in this market considering he's still 24 and only 2 years older than Stones (who Everton want £50m for) and a year older than Micheal Keane (who Burnley want around £20m for). Yes he was dreadful after returning from injury for the U21's, but I'd much rather keep Jones and hope he can get over this injury plague than sell now for a pittance, only for him to go to another club and show that he is indeed better than Stones.

At this point I actually feel for sterling. Not because I like him or anything but because the media has ruined his career. He also isn't good enough as a player for a team willing to challenge for the league. At least from a consistent point of view. What do you do with an average player that cost 49 million?

Sane isn't impressive from the times I've watched him. Very raw player but has the necessary attributes like pace and dribbling. This is those one for the future types of player who will only get better with a few seasons at a top team. He will need to cutout all those headless chicken runs he useless does.
 
Let's wait and see what Guardiola does with him before writing Sterling off.

We will see . Jose comments about Baily points in that direction towards me , but John's need to get his sharpness back and be fit . SAF , Moyes and LVG said he is a good defender and thats good for me . His issue is just lack of fitness . He just needs to protect his body a lil more and Jose is the best guy for that

He needs to get a brain cell or 2 implanted. He's insanely reckless.

reckless ? People says he is a mistakes waiting to happen and the fact is he makes minimum mistakes whenever he played. Seems injuries are making him a bad player too .

Note : SAF , Moyes , LVG , Capello all said there is a good player in him . I trust them . If injuries stay out he will be one of the first names on the team sheet , else Tuanzbe will have his break out year . Either way win -win .
