5 players Manchester City should sign

#2 John Stones

A long and overdrawn transfer saga almost saw him join Chelsea last season. Imagine if that had happened; Jose Mourinho might still have had his job at the club. But we will get out of the world of ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ and focus on the reality in front of us.

If one looks at the defenders that Manchester City have, it is filled with players that were bought for a lot of money, but couldn’t live up to the price tag tied around their necks. With the quoted price for John Stones being close to an astonishing £50 million, he would surely become another one of City’s expensive defender signings of recent times, should they sign him.

However, unlike Eliaquim Mangala and Nicolas Otamendi, he would come to the club with Premier League experience. What sets him apart even more, though, is the fact that he is excellent with the ball at his feet, something which the Spanish tactician loves in his defenders.
