5 | John Stones - 2024/25

[alexmcity]

We are not getting another defender in the summer

You don't know that.

Stones is on 300k a week. That would be OK if he could start 30 league games, which he has never done. One from him and Ake has to go, 1 injury prone defender is enough. Akanji and Gvardiol have been overplayed due to their injuries, Dias too. Normally, Dias is quite fit, but even he is getting injuries now.

Plenty of supporters want him as a target.

Well if John Boy goes they'll need a new target won't they?

I do. Defence is the least of our concerns and it is the midfield that is the priority. Stones can still provide decent cover for the season.

He would stay for me as the defence is the least of our concerns.

Jonny can stay as long as he produces when available as he's filling an English slot in the squad. Would probably sign a pay as you play type deal with a lower basic aswell can't see him being the sort to kick up a fuss about money after he's been here so long and won so much.

No need to alter his contract.

Was more talking about his next one, not sure how long he has left so if its like 3 years ignore me lol

Move him on a free after his current deal expires.

You are so very amusing,,,,,, hang on while I stop laughing at a player who has given more than 100% time after time after time for Manchester City but boy oh boy you really know how to kick a guy when he is down.
I don't imagine for one millisecond that John Stones is sitting there laughing. He is probably absolutely devastated that he is having to sit out our matches. He is probably contemplating what he is going to do next. But hey you have a good laugh you bobolyne, cumberworld waste of spaces!!

I don't think I have ever insulted a BlueMooner; the press, the opposition, the officials yes but my fellow BlueMooners no. But I will make an exception for you two!!!!

Is it true that your biro ran out?

Getting rid of past heroes is never easy. However it’s a necessary part of sustaining a successful club.

We won’t get a fortune for him but his wages are a burden. Reportedly £13m p.a. FFS.

Same goes for a few others.

Funny I was just looking at the PL squad list and thinking about homegrown quotas

Rico has another season of being on the U21 list. If Kyle goes that's a spot gone, Carson is season to season. A lower paid one or two year extension wouldn't be a bad idea, given he's got a young family and has been here for so long that might be an attractive rather than a move for him
