The reason Harry Maguire looks good for England is John Stones. Does that not say it all about him?
Absolutely agreed on both points. Stones was amazing in 17/18 and never stopped being amazing but for some reason he just got dropped. And then he had his injury issues etc and struggled to get back regularly into the starting line up, or even in the side. I am so chuffed it's all come good for him because he seems like a thoroughly likeable and decent bloke as well. I hope he stays with us for 10 years.Shaky first season, then a really good 2017/18 next to Otamendi, only got better from there. Gradually crescendoed into one of the best players in the world.
I can't see why we would get Rice - if we wanted to play a second midfielder alongside Rodri we've got pretty much the best player available for that role.
