    If he ends up marrying Francesco's daughter, would their offspring be named T0tti-Botti ? ...has a nice ring to it.

    John Stones - Arguably the most overrated player in world football. One full season with Everton in one of their worst seasons in recent history and he's worth £30m+

    He's really played two seasons and he's a very good player.

    There is no denying he is a good player. There is no denying his potential.

    But I think there is no denying that he is currently incredibly overrated and the figures bandied around are ridiculous.

    His reputation has come largely from the season that has just gone. The fees mentioned make the Sterling deal look like a bargain.

    At least Sterling has proved something at a higher level with a higher caliber of player and in the England set up. Not to mention he is an attacking player which always commands a higher premium.

    Highest fee paid for a defender is Thiago Silva - £30m (Excluding David Luiz)

    Leeds got £30m for Ferdinand in 2002...not much inflation for defenders then.

    Well Wba have previously said that they want north of £20m for Berahino so they would reject £15m-ish.

    Sounds a bit like our bids for Andre Gray. Offer less and hope. <laugh>

    Maybe £15m and Aaron Lennon would be of more interest to the Baggies. <laugh>

    Couldn't disagree more. Stones oozes class and looks to have it all. He should be starting for England.

    Doesn't change the fact that £30 million is a joke... and that's rejected also!

    Joey Barton to Forest now evens (from 5-2) with skybet

    Norwich have made a "substantial" offer for Benik Afobe (Wolves)

    Wasn't he supposed to be in Arsenals first team after finally gaining a visa after about 7 million years?

    It was very odd, it took him four years to get one.

    BREAKING NEWS: Sky Sources - Napoli midfielder Gokhan Inler passes medical at Leicester and has agreed personal terms.

    Pedro is undergoing a medical at Chelsea after the club reached an agreement with Barcelona yesterday.

    That one will go down well in Manchester.

    Pedro to Chelsea?

    Well, that came out of nowhere. They don't even need him. Feels like they've gone after him just to stop Man Utd getting him.
