5 | John Stones - 2024/25

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

I'd like to know what games your watching...
Before you jump on that, yes I am aware midfield is a shambles also and if you have a strong midfield you can get away with the defense but as it stands our defense is either half fit and patched up alongside burnt out and finished.

We need a complete reset.

Plenty of supporters want him as a target.

Plenty want to keep a perma crock around the squad on 200k a week rather than sign someone who can contribute for more than two games in a row but what do they know ;)

Is it true that your biro ran out?

What’s that supposed to mean?

@Eccles Blue is John Stones mum and she broke her biro last week which meant Stones was injured.

 

[alexmcity]

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.

No, you don't.

I accept that his time with us is coming to an inevitable end based upon being unable to remain fit.

And I guess that Eccles Blue knows that too although she won't want that day to arrive.

A wonderful and classy player, as is KDB , but they are both unlikely to be playing for us for very much longer.

Hard for Sheila and every one of John's fans to watch knowing what is round the corner .

Yes, some real great blue players will or may be gone at the end of the season. All good things come to end:(

Think 3 or 4 will go this summer, I expect Stones and maybe Bernardo to stay one more year as a couple more are replaced in 26.

Been great for the club, but time to try and move him on in the summer.

The issue we will have is any club that take him will want or expect him to be fit for every single game, which they know will be an issue.

No problem to keep him around if that is the case, but he becomes a squad player then and not someone to be relied upon.

Just making a joke about Eccles being Stones' mum.

(Sorry, Eccles, I'm just pulling your leg)

Sadly that's more or less exactly the situation we currently have ,
