£70m minimum. Time for City to treat other clubs the way we’ve been treated for decades. Even when we were potless we got stung.

What do we think?
Stones has had a somewhat turbulent season so far, featuring in just 12 Premier League games, in which he has averaged a WhoScored match rating of 6.68.
However, 90Min reports that City would want as much as £40 million for the 25-year-old defender, who is currently valued at £32.4 million by Transfermarkt.
In any case, it would appear that fans of Manchester City would be willing to let Stones go, with some even suggesting they would drive the defender to Newcastle personally.
