but Stones is still very young for a CB and very little experience of European footy
Can’t be doing that again so they need another.
There is a genuine lack of top level English talent there and Mourinho must rate him very highly to spend that. Similarities to how he took Varane to Madrid, another young relatively inexperienced player (at that level, CL etc).
Stones goes there now and he is their centre-half for the next 10 years. Their equivalent of Rio Ferdinand, their new Terry or whatever label the media want to give him.
"So what's your budget?"
etc.
Harris Out!
Being able to walk away from a deal for Benzema or whoever is only a good thing if one can then go and purchase another Benzema elsewhere, surely?
Something along the lines of "we can afford anyone except Messi and Ronaldo."
Not for nothing does He like to keep his cards close to his chest. No point in flashing it around. Attracts all sorts of varmints.
'We'll take Benzema; the deal works for us at 35 mill. If that doesn't work for you we can spunk 200 mill on Ronaldo.'
We have the power, see?
Either way, playing poverty isn't going to get us anywhere anymore so we may as well start swinging the big financial dick.
