Stones was also linked with a move away from the Etihad during the January transfer window , but Ferdinand believes there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a top player once he eradicates silly mistakes from his game .
“ I think he ’ s got great potential… if he stops making the same mistakes , ” the former Manchester United man told Robbie Savage ’ s Premier League Breakfast show .

But the England international has struggled for game time this season, with Pep Guardiola preferring to start Fernandinho at the back over the 25-year-old.

Rooney featured for Derby County in the FA Cup against his former side on Thursday but he will always have a warm place in fans ' hearts .
He naturally reflected on his United career ahead of facing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's side at Pride Park , something which led to him revealing the best XI he played with at the club to talkSPORT .

Despite having only featured for the club just three years ago , his selections point to how impressive the club was in the early part of his career and not so much in his final seasons .
At the back Rooney picked out Edwin van der Sar as the goalkeeper and Gary Neville , Rio Ferdinand , Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra in defence .
Rooney selected Paul @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the park and Ryan Giggs on the left .
The former England star chose to put Cristiano Ronaldo on the right wing and partnered himself with Carlos Tevez up front .
Ahead of the FA Cup clash between Derby and United , Rooney also reflected on his relationship with former manager Sir Alex Ferguson in a revealing interview .
`` I always remember as a kid , every half-time , arguing with him , constantly , '' Rooney recalled .
`` I remember thinking , ‘ Why does he keep having a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far worse than I 've been !

He 's obviously aiming at other players who ca n't take it .
`` He would have a go at me for dribbling .
I very rarely dribble… well , I dribbled a bit more then… but [ with ] Nani , it would just maybe trigger something in [ his ] head , thinking , 'Oh maybe I should n't dribble as much . '
`` He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without losing it .
If he spoke to Nani the way he spoke to me , he 'd break down in tears .
He would n't be able to go back out . ''

Andy Burnham says he has been reassured the problems with Greater Manchester Police’s troubled IT system will eventually be sorted out - insisting it is ‘not a scandal’.
The mayor’s comments came in a lengthy statement issued following Her Majesty’s police inspectorate report into the iOPS system, which has been the subject of a catalogue of concerns from officers.
That report found thousands of child protection and domestic abuse cases had potentially not been passed on to safeguarding agencies after the network was introduced - while staff felt ‘blamed’ for the problems and were unable to find crucial information on victims and criminals.
Mr Burnham said he had been reassured by GMP that the problems identified in the report would be rectified, however.
He said a range of issues ‘could have been handled better’ by the force, including communication with staff and other organisations, as well as training.
But he rejected an assertion from Bolton West MP Chris Green this week, who labelled the troubled system a ‘scandal’, adding that he had met with senior officers from the force to discuss the report’s findings.

Regarding a huge backlog of open incidents that had built up within the first three months of iOPS being introduced - which included hundreds of domestic abuse cases that had not been risk-assessed, meaning vulnerable people and had potentially been put at risk, according to the inspectorate - he insisted all cases had in fact been investigated.
“GMP have assured me that the thousands of calls and reports that they received following the implementation of iOPS were dealt with immediately and in the normal way. Incidents were opened, investigated and, where appropriate, closed,” he said.
Mr Burnham added that he had also been reassured a backlog of cases involving vulnerable people, about which HMI said the force had not had a full understanding, had in fact been investigated - although they had not necessarily been passed on to social services.
“The HMI report raises a specific concern about a number of child protection and domestic abuse incidents,” he said. “These incidents were investigated but it is unclear whether, if further follow up action was needed by a partner organisation, an alert had been sent to them.

In other words, they said, proper investigations would have seen referrals to social services as a result, which the report found in hundreds if not thousands of cases had not happened.

Of the report itself, which was commissioned by the mayor’s office in the summer, he said: “The purpose of commissioning this review was to be able to put ourselves in a position of being able to reassure the Greater Manchester public that all potential issues with the iOPS system have been properly identified and corrective action taken.

The new system ‘will now enable GMP to provide an enhanced service to the public’, he said, adding that the roll-out had had ‘strong governance arrangements and independent oversight and scrutiny of programme governance, implementation timetable and financial auditing’.

Drunk woman, 29, caused four hours of 'chaos' on board a flight to Turkey after staff discovered empty bottle of vodka

A drunk woman almost caused a plane to be diverted after four hours of 'chaos ' on board a flight to Turkey .
Katherine Heyes , 29 , became abusive with crew on the Thomas Cook flight from Manchester to Antalya , after they found an empty bottle of vodka near her seat .
Veterinary nurse Heyes , of Wigan , was said to be a nervous flyer and failed to turn down a drink from two friends who had brought the bottle on board the flight on May 18 last year , Manchester magistrates heard .
Despite being told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be disruptive , by swearing and shouting at her surrounding passengers and crew .
After a dispute with one passenger causing a scratch to their face , passengers called for the captain to divert the flight .
Heyes was escorted from the plane by Antalyan police shortly after landing and was arrested for being drunk on an aircraft .
She will be sentenced at Minshull Street Crown Court on April 3 .
Outlining the facts , prosecutor Eileen Rogers said the three women , Heyes and two friends , were the last to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boarding passes .
“ Cabin crew spotted them going into the toilet together with a large beach bag , which was suspected to contain alcohol .
Staff then told the women to use the toilet separately , '' Mrs Rogers said .
`` The crew later found an empty bottle of vodka where the group were sitting and removed it , and the women were told not to drink any more alcohol on the flight . ''
The court was told that a senior member of staff was aware all three women were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was slurring her words and found it difficult to understand what she was saying .
Passengers in the area began using the ‘ call ’ buttons to raise the attention of the crew when there was an incident after Heyes became involved in a dispute with another passenger .
“ Cabin crew approached Ms Heyes and told her to calm down and directed her to put her seat-belt on , but she didn ’ t do so , '' Mrs Rogers said .
“ There was another altercation and the other women were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her into her seat , but she caused a scratch to one of their faces and the crew had to intervene again . ''
The court heard that passengers began asking for the plane to be diverted , but the captain explained there was only 40 minutes until landing .
After landing in Antalya , police escorted the party of women off the plane and they were all interviewed .
Donna Smith , a senior member of staff , said in a statement : “ There was an incident where a lady was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ This was a worrying incident and we had to contemplate diverting the aircraft .
