My favourite player at city. Love him.

His performance in the CL final was incredible. Better than Rodri that night yet Rodri scored the goal and gets a balon dor.

Well, he got the Ballon d'Or for a year of top class performances, not just scoring in the CL final.

Surely a City fan understands this?

What an odd thing to say.

Yes very weird opinion, perhaps they only watched the one match?

 

[Macca77macca]

Stones has never been nominated for the Ballon Bore. Which gives a good idea of what it is worth. With that and the whole Vini shenanigans..

The whole circus does my nut in.

What? You think the Ballon D'Or was awarded to Rodri for one goal? Come on; if this is an attempt at wumming, it's piss poor.

Not an odd thing to say. Really stupid actually. Rodri was immense all season and thoroughly deserved the Balon D’or.

 

[burning blue soul]

The guy is a Rolls Royce defender. A defenders' defender.
Unfortunately, this RR has spent too much time up on blocks.
My biggest hope for this season is seeing Johnny boy stay fit and show his class.

Rodri's Balon D'Or was for the season after we won the treble.
He was great both seasons , the season after he also was Spains best player when they won the Euros.
Messi actually took the Balon D'Or when we won the treble.

They were both excellent that night and I'm sure John was cheering Rodders on to win the best player in the world at the Balon dor ceremony. Rodri deserved it for his overall performances that season.

great read.

They were.

John Stones was man of the match but it was irrelevant to the awarding of the Ballon d'Or to Rodri.

I think Stones has always been our best defender, for a spell quite possibly the best CB in the world imo but injuries.

 

[Corky]

The 2022/23 season didn't contribute to the Golden Ball.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

His quality on the field is unquestionable, he is awesome and like others have said his performance in the Chumps League final was outstanding and a man of the match performance.

However the problem of the matter is he's made of glass, constantly getting injured and it's as simple as that.

 

[Macca77macca]

He is looking a bit mean so far this summer break, wanting to prove a point to a lot of people but probably to himself most of all.

He looks like he has had the time to get very fit.

I think we are going to get an all time Stonsey season for us I really do.

 

[the blue panther]

All that's missing is a segment from Eccles Blue for a true appreciation of Johnboy's best assets.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Scored with his cock at the swamp.

Instant cult hero there and then.

 

[jimharri]

His contract is up next summer, I think? I'd be surprised if the club offered him a new one, given their stance on not offering older players new contracts. Unless he takes a big pay cut, which is unlikely. Can we get one last season where he's fit for the majority of the campaign? It'd be fantastic if we could.
