    Sorry cant post link but a bid is imminent.

    Stones believed to have
    told Everton he wants to move to Man City and work under Guardiola. Everton dont need to sell due to their recent takeover but will not want to keep an unsettled player.

    Would be a great move for Stones to work under Pep with his style of play.

    He turned Boateng into one of the best ball playing centre-backs there is. Would probably be the best manager to work under to improve

    Mourinho for me.

    He'd be an instant legend and almost immediate captain at Man Utd.

    Mourinho vs Pep for development of youngsters, no comparison at all.

    At £50 million neither of them are signing a youngster. They're signing a full England International who will expect and demand to go straight in to the team.

    Nothing to do with Jupp Heynckes, the guy who actually signed Boateng then?

    Well no, not really. If you have a look the progress he's made since Guardiola has been there. He's done an immaculate job on him

    So the guy who signed him and worked with him for 2 years had absolutely no bearing on him becoming the player he is today? It's all down to Pep?

    And didn't he win the Champions League under Heynckes?

    He's still very young and needs a lot of development. The £50m is for the potential, of course he will be expected to play and deliver as well but Pep is by far the better option to improve under.

    Are you on your period and wanting to get petty today? I never said he wasn't a good defender before, I said he's made Boateng into one of best BALL PLAYING centre-backs. Which he has. He never was as good on the ball before Pep joined.

    No he wasn't. Watch him 2 years before Pep joined and then watch him 2 years after he joined. He was in the team of the year for the first time last season, he's improved massively when on the ball under him.

    Pep has done a great job brining Joshua Kimmich through at Bayern even if Boateng isn't a full Guardiola project.
