5 | John Stones - 2024/25

[Keeper!]

May not be a regular going forwards but for squad depth he is and there is still time to find a solution to his injuries.

"there is still time to find a solution to his injuries."


Now that is bollocks, you think we have not tried in the 7 years he's been here?

More chance of finding Lord Lucan mate, sadly.

Sadly that’s not going to happen mate. Stones has been injury prone his entire career and now he’s getting on a bit it’s going to get worse not better.

He’s been a proud servant to the club and one of my favourite Pep era players but it is time to say goodbye.

Ledley King is a recent example of working with players who have had major injury concerns. Same with Vincent Kompany.

We allowed Vinceny Kompany to see out his contract. I don't see an issue with John Stones either. Face it we aren't going to cut many of the seniors in one transfer window.

Please Lord, don't let him drop the turkey on his foot.

How've you worked that out?

First paragraph is obviously true. Unless you're suggesting he's being forced against his will to play certain players.

Second paragraph pep has said himself he's been playing players who aren't fully fit, those same players have picked up reoccuring injuries.

Last paragraph is proveable if you can count upto a maximum of 25 and have reading and comprehension skills above that of a toddler.

So which bit is bollocks and why?

He cannot play fit players he doesnt have , they are all injured or carrying knocks. He cannot play the eds squad . Not difficult is it. You knock pep and the players with every post , have a fucking day off

King & the biggest and greatest one Paul Mcgrath.

mcgrath never trained, was constantly pissed but my word he was available considerably more than Stones and was a hell of a player.

Don't get this loyalty nonsense, every player has a shelf life at a club, then they move on, Stones will rightly be remembered as a top player and a lovely fella, but his time is over and a new star will come along, that's football.

Are you more a fan of players or a supporter of Manchester City?

Merry Christmas to all those who love Jonny Stones and want him to stay forever (even if he plays 20 games a season)
