What’s the personal life mess point all about?
Wasn't Stones actually pretty good early in his City career? I remember being impressed with him and then he got that big injury and was never able to get back into the team.
Assuming he's 100% fit now I think he'd be a good gamble for a cheap price.

This, injuries have really fecked him at City. He's still a really good player for ~£20 Million.
Agree that at that price he is a decent gamble for a team that can accommodate a potentially injury-prone player, but with good upside potential should he stay fit. A team such as ourselves should stay well clear though - the profile of our current injury-prone lot means we cannot risk being stuck with another to join Jones, et al in the sick room.
But...but Pep improves everyone, I just don’t understand how this could of happened
He’s incredibly injury prone. He’s basically their Phil Jones.But...but Pep improves everyone, I just don’t understand how this could of happened
Stones has always been a defender who's had moments of class balanced out by utterly calamitous defensive errors. He was given a lot of leeway for it at the start because he was young and everyone assumed Pep would iron the mistakes out of him, but for one reason or another he's never really kicked on from there and doesn't have the youth excuse to get away with it anymore.
He isn't their phil jones because they are trying to move him not hand him a 10 yr contract
Stones performed great at Everton because he had Jagielka beside him. Say what you want about Jagielka's ability but what you can't take away from him is his reliability and consistency. He would rarely have a bad game and was able to organise the backline to a decent standard and help someone like Stones mature and excel as a player. I don't think that Stones has had that much at City - He's either in and out of the side or his partner is changing much more than it ever was at Everton so it's difficult sometimes to get into a routine. He's also quite arrogant which can be great but it can also be terrible. I don't quite know if Rudiger is the man to be his 'Jagielka' so to speak as he is also quite rash. Will be interesting to see what happens.
Maybe they are hoarding players in case they get another transfer ban. A bit like toilet rolls.
Don't think Chelsea were ever actually interested it was more so some media invented story with zero substance.
I don't think Spurs would be a good move for him under Mourinho. He's a good player but he's still quite erratic at times and even though his stats were great this season, he can be wasteful with the ball. Not sure Mourinho would put up with that.
FFS, that is why a club like Bournemouth got relegated, buying under average players for 20m.
Because Sarri was sacked and Pirlo was in the emergency meeting that took place after the sacking and then he was made manager officially about 2 hours later. You think they made a quick call to Pochettino in between all that?
I bet they'll get that fee too. Liverpool somehow always manage to get top dollar for their players, even the cast-offs.
I’d keep him if I were them.
He's pretty shite tbf and nowhere near good enough for Liverpool. They should take £20m and run.
Wilson probably earns a fraction of what our cast offs do
People don't realize just how absurd our wage bill is. We give players who are not in demand by other clubs, wages that are close to much better players at other top clubs. This despite the fact that we're a more prestigious club that can offer those same players visibility other top clubs can't give. Matt Judge is terrible.
But...but Pep improves everyone, I just don’t understand how this could of happened
He ruins defenders
Who else would play Williams 65k/week?
No idea who that is.
Liverpool don’t seem to be having a great window so far. Are they really strapped for cash, or just holding back due to Covid?
Where exactly do you think they need someone ? Yes, they need elite backups but you cant expect high profile players to come and sit on bench . Klopp hardly rotates and not to mention the wages they would be paid.
Never said they did or didn’t. It might just be media but I’ve only seen stories about them missing out on players so far. Just going off what I’ve read.
You have a problem with Williams now?
We don’t have a tonne of money (Van Dijk & Alisson were expensive deals with huge agent fees). That combined with COVID and apparently still not receiving all the money from Barcelona for Coutinho is why we weren’t able to buy Werner, and would never be able to afford Sancho (despite the media linking us).
Tsimikas is a squad signing to be back up to Robertson. I do think we should be going all out for Thiago though.
Our fans will jump on FSG’s back but I think they’re playing the long game and asking Klopp to get as much as he can from the squad he has, so that we’re in a good position to launch a rebuild 2/3 years from now.
