Not a rumour as such but how would my fellow Gooners feel if we made a strong move for John Stones in January or perhaps wait til end of season? I got to say he ticks the boxes for pace, control and awareness of danger. Young lad with a lot of potential imo. Anyhow joint top with £ity and in need of this 2 week break to re-charge and go again for the title! COYG!

Very good defender, young and I'd be very happy to have him at Arsenal. BUT, it's never going to happen since it would require a high transfer fee and I think Wenger is happy with our defenders - including Gabriel, who I believe will soon enough take Per's place in the 11. To be fair, I'd feel sorry for Gabriel if we went and spent loads of money on a starting CB.

Arsene would never pay 40+ million for a defender but I'd love us to get him, Gabriel Kos and Stones? Quality by the quater dozen and I'd have no problem with rotating them or even playing all 3 if Le Coq was injured.
Cech
Gab Stones Kos
Belerin Ramsey Caz Moreal
Sanchez Ozil
Walcott
I've seen worse line ups.

I'd be chuffed if John stones signed. just to piss eds off haha. José wanted him badly didn't he. Top player.

{Ed025's Note - he is a top player derby and is still improving mate, if he does leave us (which is likely) i would love him to go to arsenal though..

The thing is though if you want the best players then you got to pay for the best players. We have scrimped and saved since the move to the Emirates and now I feel the budget is and can be made available. Surely if the best home talent is out there it needs to snapped up and Arsenal should be having a look at players like Stones. Christ we payed £16m for chambers who in time will develop into a quality player. pay the asking price this guy is future England captain material with years ahead of him. imo it's the missing link with perhaps another out n out striker like Higuain. i have nothing against Gabriel as I feel depth and back up is needed as it's every year we are in the mix for a title push or CL run. We pay top dollar at the turnstiles so let's see top dollar on the pitch. Ed25 you're right Stones is a gem! ;)

when stones leaves it will be for £50mill what you think eds?

{Ed025's Note - slightly less would be my guess derby, we would love to keep him but this is the real world and any bid over £30m would be considered imo mate..

{Ed002's Note - No they weren't.}
