John Stones is probably the biggest steal of the season. Priced at just £5m, Stones is expected to play a major part in City’s quest for the title. Alongside a fit-again Vincent Kompany, they could very well form the best centre-half partnership of the league.
Stones is also highly competent with the ball at his feet and his distribution and forward runs contribute to his overall effectiveness. A major threat from corners, Stones would be expected to chip in with at least 4-5 goals a season.

A price of £5m at Everton would be questionable, but £5m at City is just a bargain.
