Well if that's the case Pep should keep him out of England camp next time

Just curious as seen a rumour that his new contract was 250k per week and 3rd highest earner, surely not ?

this is not a dig at John stones btw

 

[DATOIA]

Had a great return today, made number of good tackles and blocks..

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Good to see him back. Great player

Was about to post the exact same words. Love the lad!

The player who acknowledges the fans the most in the whole squad n’all. He actually applauds the fans in the stands and not just his family and friends in the boxes on Level 2.

Really solid performance today and had the big Kiwi bouncing at times beating him to headers. So classy on the ball n’all!

Looks like the real deal now. Comes back into the side and looks like the business straight away. No hassle, good clearances, composed on the ball. Well worth his new contract.

 

[Long Slow Goodbye]

Don’t rotate him now; he’s already lost a sizeable chunk of the past 5 years here due to various issues - he’s entering his prime and now looks as good as any defender in Europe.

There’s not much between him, Laporte and Dias overall, but I’d argue he’s the most complete, plus if the English option is as good as the alternative then they should always be prioritised.
