I'm gonna say this honestly, I'm really not arsed about losing Stones, especially for the reported £42m.
He's been great for us but was massively exposed last season when Jags was out for 3 months, that was his chance to really cement his place and prove his worth but he showed himself to be basically an English Luiz; great on the ball, composed, can run with it and can pick a pass but his awareness is all over the shop and defensively average. Not great in the air either. City are buying a good player, 'potential' though shouldn't cost £42m.
Stones himself will regret the move when he's playing for Sunderland in 3 seasons
