5 | John Stones - 2024/25

[Johnny Mars Bar]

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.

Don’t get me wrong, Stones isn’t anywhere near the top of my list for the chopping block and I’m happy for him to stay and see out his deal (however long that is, I don’t know) but his injury problems are not going to improve and we can’t assume he is a first team starter going forwards.

Still needed cover and we didn't cut loose Vinny Kompany despite not being able to string many games

We wont get any money for john so just like all our oldies for the past decade or more we let them see out their contracts and thank them. Or if they want to go play somewhere else then we let them go. We do it the right way, we treat the players who have given everything for us in a way no other club does and i am damn proud of it

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

It'd be great if he played 20 games a season!

Rolls Royce of a footballer when on the pitch. Unfortunately has the body work of a 1970s skoda.
Difference between him and VK is the influence off the pitch and around the club. Vl had huge influence....John Stones doesn't have that at anywhere near the level.
Would love him to be a consistent part of the team but his record shows that vision very unlikely to happen. If he ain't on the pitch we need someone who is

Except for Grealish who you give yourself permission to bollock constantly.

A massive hypocrite.

Good knows what that has to do with grealish, i dont bollock him constantly either . If you want a row today then look elsewhere

As a club , as our manager and khaldoon and i would imagine our owner as well want to be treating players properly , especially oldies and it works mainly. Ex players talk about the club like they are still blues

That is what i was saying but i think you know that

Be nice if we had a new rule that return posters under diffient
names have to say who they were , esp those who are holding a grudge or two

Back to john

Another predictable post from yourself.

John has influence around the club. Thats why he has been there as long as Pep has. Only KDB has been around longer.

I have no fucking time for that kind of garbage.
