Apparently Stones definitely wants to leave and join Man City. 50mil and I will drive him there myself, very poor last year and his attitude was appalling, he maybe the next great thing but that means nothing if your attitude is all wrong.
My only concern now is our squad needs new faces and these will need time to settle, now if lukaku goes as well then that's another hole to fill.
We need 2 x centre backs, right back, left winger, 2 x midfielder's, a striker and a keeper. That's 8 players to integrate in a very short time.

Don't think we need a right back bit I agree on everything else.
Koeman got then in Austria now so he will be seeing what we need or thinks we need, who goes and who stays. Think we'll see players start coming in either this week or next.

I'm not sure we need 2 cms. Surely mccarthy, Barry, and my pick, besic can cover one of the cm positions. I'm hoping a good, tough preseason for besic might sort his niggling injuries out and we will see the best of him.

The right back is cover for Coleman, last year when he was injured we had no-one. Stones was tried and failed, Ovieado was tried and failed, I would love a homegrown right back but not sure if any are ready for the step up yet.

If Stones wants to leave fine, tara see you. If you don"t want to play for Everton get out the club. Get the deal sorted quickly and off you go. Same goes for Lukaku and anyone else who thinks there bigger than the club.

i think the fans have to take a lot of the blame for the attitude of stones, the amount of abuse he got from the crowd last season was out of order, he wasnt the only player to make mistakes, but got singled out by the fans all the time, he is still a young lad, and will b a world class player in time.

Dont be daft his head has been turned by £ signs he started it before a ball was kicked so the fans are going to turn on him he wants out so don't blame us fans .

Not all fans konehead. Just the stupid minority who seem to think it helps to turn on our own players and give them abuse. Although money and playing for a so called 'top' club also have a big part to play in him wanting to leave.

I don't hold anything against Stones. He's kept it all private and I can understand wanting to play under Guadiola.
I believe he should stay, work with Koeman and see where this season takes us but if he goes we will be reinvesting it anyway.
