5 | John Stones - 2025/26

[bell_mcfc]

World Cup year could see Stones playing more. A fit Stones starts every game we play. But relying on a fit stones is a big gamble with limited squad places

We are only limited in the UCL. I always thought Stones would stay as an extra essentially unless he wanted a move.

CL qualification is the tricky one.

No chance he's leaving as long as Pep is here. He's too crucial for the team.

Thank you :-)

Is there another HG player that could have his ucl space though? I can’t count 8

Every time he's on the field, he's clearly the best CB on the squad.

Thats almost an oxymoron.

If he can stay fit then we'll have a great season for sure.
We had a double whammy last season without Rodri and Stones because unnoticed Stones often steps up into the Rodri role in midfield .
He's more important than most people realise.

He’s world class and for me our best defender. It would have been daft to sell him as he makes the difference.

He makes everyone around him better

 

[sh249]

Class.

 

[oldius]

A real difference maker to our team. Well done, JS.

 

[MCFC1993]

When fit, there aren't any better, he runs the show.

 

[teddypaul]

Please stay fit , turned back the years today , superb

 

[kanovic]

A completely different team with him

 

[jimharri]

Where the hell is she?

 

[Lowtower]

Sexy stuff this evening from Johnny

Best defender of his generation

 

[MCFC1993]

Where the hell is she?

Give her 5mins.

 

[YatesA]

Just keep him. Reduced wages and have him until his legs fall off. He's the best in the league when he can actually play

 

[samuelyeboah]

would be really funny if he stayed fit for the whole season after we signed 6 new centerbacks

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Agreed. Just hope he can stay fit and put a run of games together. The more he plays the better he is.

God he's good
