Looks like Kone is a goer for £17m.

Who's that?

How much has Guardiola spent so far?

Ah yes, he's pretty good actually.

TBH, the Stones deal is just making the Pogba deal looking OK.

Stones is absolutely nowhere near Pogba's level.

Great deal for the ****e tbf, any defender they sign will be an improvement. The great Guardiola has fell for the hype. City's CB record is comical. Must be about £200m now on absolute ****e!

It is absolutely unbelievable. I can't be arsed to tot it up but it has been thrown away on muck.

I have no idea why Stones is so highly regarded. I've never seen what the fuss is about.

He's never looked anything but average whenever I've watched him play.

The Calum Chambers of the north.

It's mad really.

You look at Stones at 22 years of age and then look at someone like Laporte at 22 years of age and there appears to be miles between them in terms of quality, yet City are meant to have walked away when a £40m or so price tag was put on Laporte and now are spending close to £50m on Stones who looks very much an inferior player by comparison.

I really, really hope Guardiola fails badly at City.

All hype managing far and away the best teams in walk-over leagues.

Did they not trigger Laporte's release clause and he turned them down?

7:15 that tweet was sent. 7:49 now, so the record is probably broken.
