It's crazy the things you read here. Stones better than Kompany? Let's be honest he isn't even better than an in-form Laporte or Dias

He shouldn't be called up for the international break
Stones is a top player when in form but is a bit inconsistent.
I mean, he hasn't had two great seasons in a row. Great in 20/21, then a bit ordinary in 21/22 , great in 22/23, then a bit ordinary in 23/24...
The good news: he is expected to be great this season. And the last month or so he has been excellent.
Anyway, he's a lovely lad.
Hasn't been playing much, so he has been brilliant this season for the limited minutes that he got. Deserves to be playing more because we all know Johnny is one of the best players in the world in his position when he is at it.

Oh he will be there. They all will be. It's a joke and I wish someone at the club would have a word.

Stones on top form is our best defender. Absolutely zero doubt about it. Every single defender you mentioned played their best football next to who? Stones is the common thread for good reason.
The issue is his bloody fitness. But when he’s good, he has a solid case for being our best ever defender.

Thank you @freshie . You’ve cheered me up no end. I needed that today. I call today my pain day so you’ve eased it for me. (Better than the flaming painkillers!,) :-)
