Is it true he is suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis? Feel really sorry for him if so, I used to love running and footy and it's why I packed both in, couldn't cope with the pain feeling like I had a lump of glass stabbing me in the arch of my foot constantly.
I suspect 300k in the account every week makes up for the painHonestly it's one of those things that a lot of Dr's diagnose and say a bit of rest should cure it but I tried for Years and literally £100s of different insoles, 20+ trips to podiatrists etc and never cured it properly, can only imagine how much of a pain in the arse it must be a pro athlete!

If he is suffering from this I doubt very, very much that any amount of money will make up for the pain.I suspect 300k in the account every week makes up for the pain
That is a horrible thing to dayI suspect 300k in the account every week makes up for the pain
I agree. I wasn't trying to be insensitive just saying I would jump on the chance to trade placesThat is a horrible thing to day
As someone who is in agony every minute of every day for years with no end in sight i can tell you you wouldnt want it no matter the amount of moneyI agree. I wasn't trying to be insensitive just saying I would jump on the chance to trade places
To a point, and if you were to offer me a job off carrying this ailment for 300k/week, i'd take it but eventually, money can only do so much.I suspect 300k in the account every week makes up for the pain
Great bloke, player, etc but this is professional football and we can't manage a team of ghosts.Stones suddenly makes himself available for the squad now we have signed 2 new defenders and his place might not be guaranteed on the rare occasion he deems fit to pull his boots on, what a surprise.
Casper Schmeichel?Great bloke, player, etc but this is professional football and we can't manage a team of ghosts.
Injuries are frustrating but not his fault. He's just prone to it and not getting any younger.He seems a decent guy and, yes, money compensates for a lot of things, but I bet he’s frustrated to hell with his constant injuries and hates being a passenger most of the time.
From a club viewpoint, though, he’s far too expensive to keep on - but also difficult to sell. Natural squad progression: new young bucks come in, fallen heroes move on.
I had it for a year 20-21. Just came on suddenly, felt like shards of glass stabbing every time I walked, fortunately ( or not as the case may be) it was lockdown so couldn't go far anyway. I'm an FOC female, not a prime athlete so god knows how I suddenly got it. Never known pain like it, prefer toothache. Then suddenly in spring 21 it gradually disappeared. I do wonder if the enforced covid 'rest' actually helped the recovery. I do feel for John if this is what he has, it just permanently gnaws at you 24/7.To a point, and if you were to offer me a job off carrying this ailment for 300k/week, i'd take it but eventually, money can only do so much.
I'd say after an extended period of time (years?) you'd pay 300k/week to not have it.

He's aways played with a panache that perfectly represents the club and Pep's style, and always comes across as a decent and respectful man. If it is his time to move on then I hope he gets the rapturous reception he deserves and leaves on a high.
John Stones has been the perfect embodiment of the cool, slick, modern Pep Guardiola and Manchester City defender.That's more like it! Some are being far too critical and negative about Sir John for my liking. He's been a critical part of our success and can't do much about his injuries - I'm sure he'd love to be starting week in week out.
We can't have so many unreliable players in the squad, but I also think it's over the top to single out people when we've had a squad-wide issue with injuries and form this season.
He's a CB who completed the most dribbles in a CL final since Messi - we won't see many as versatile and wonderful to watch as Johnny Stones. If he goes I'll be gutted, even if I understand why he'd have to.
That sounds more like gout to me, but I haven't had plantain isis or whatever it's called.I had it for a year 20-21.
