Is that all games or PL?

Must be all comps. Just checked his stats on Wiki, and in the 18/19 season (39, according to that table), he played...
PL 24
FA Cup 5
CC 3
CL 6
Other (CS?) 1

All I think. The effects of Christmas food and alcohol had taken its toll and I was incapable of finishing the post.

Just looking at that one season’s stats, he was unused 15 times and subbed on or off 13 times. It doesn’t show the reasons or minutes but food for thought there.

Yep; only 11 full 90 minute+ games. He's been fragile for a long time now. It's a crying shame as, when he was 100% fit, he was a wonderful player. Remember the run in during the treble season, when he was playing in midfield? It's like he was born to play there.
Plus, he comes across as a really nice bloke. Which is strange, considering where he's from.

Then don't read and don't waste your time replying....John Stones as good a footballer as he is.... genuine rolls Royce defender.....isn't anywhere near the leadership levels of VK...if you think otherwise you know nothing

I'd be staggered if he got another contract. He's no use to us sat in the stand, or in the treatment room.

Yes; me as well. Tell me I'm wrong. I didn't say what I said with the intention of hurting you; I understand you may have a soft spot for JS. But the club will have difficult decisions to make, not just about him.

Actually, it's probably not even necessary to discuss it. I honestly don't see which club would come in for him at present, with the injury record he has.
Very sad. Rolls-Royce of a player. When he's fit. You know, in the end, this happened with Vinny. The injuries were just becoming absurd.
With his age and injury record, just makes sense to keep him for his character in the dressing room. If we do end up getting a suitable offer, it would make sense for him to go to keep his England aspirations alive.

I know and understand all you, and others, say but it is the season of goodwill and I was hoping I could relax until January 6th. :-)
I am not daft, whatever people think of me. I had to accept it when my all time hero Dunnie Monster left. I had to accept it when Vinnie went, another of my heroes.
Yes they get older like us all and they have to move on but let me enjoy Christmas!! :-) ;-)

Any news of John Boy? Has he started training again yet?
Will he have a better 2025 than 2024?
Am I leaving myself open to abuse? :-)

Doesn’t make financial sense at £15m pa wages. Playing Wallace & Gromitt in the dressing room would be a lot cheaper.

We can only hope for your boy, EB. He's an absolute diamond when fit but, like the rest of us, ain't getting any younger unfortunately :(
Reis and Khusanoz are seriously going to put the pressure on Johnny, he needs to get fit and quickly or be moved on, sadly I think it will be the latter.
