One of my all time favourite City players but him and Nathan are made of glass. We just can't rely on them anymore. We should bring in someone like Branthwaite as an understudy.

Understudy? He’d play every week. Stones is a passenger at this point, a well paid passenger.

Stones is also one my favourite ever City players and when fit was/is better than Branthwaite will ever be. But he can’t stay fit. So Branthwaite coming in, which i’d be in favour of, would mean Stones makes way.

Swop Stones for Braithwaite, although the latter has also had some major injury issues.
 
What’s wrong with this fella no word on an injury is he suffering from a mental illness like depression or something

Remember a couple of international brakes ago he was just coming back from injury played 90min for England and started the next game for England and went down injured after a couple of min to the game. I’d say Pep was absolutely fewmin with that
 
Plantar is a fucker. I had it for about 2 years, excessive running and cycling would cause it to erupt. Absolutely fine while exercising, but once you finish, it hits and doesn't stop. On bad days the pain would radiate through the heel, into the ankle and calf, and on a bad day, right up to the back of the knee. All of this subsequently affects other areas as you then have to adjust your gait.

I had physio, which involved a lot of stretching for the calf's, and some shoe inserts which were over £300. All this helped. However, while it was improving, I tore my meniscus when doing leg day in the gym. I have since had the knee surgery - a little over 4 weeks ago. So, the plantar is better but might because of how little I am doing of late. The physio mentioned shockwave therapy as a solution if it doesn't heal.

If this is Stones' issues, I hope he can get over it. He'll have the best advice and facilities available. It can be fixed.

He's a brilliant footballer, and badly missed right now.

Shame he didn't get on today, was on the touchline waiting to be subbed on before the pen incident. Could have had an Arsenal or Wolves moment
 
Offering a player whose injury record is only getting worse and is never available is stupid...unless its to sell him at a later date and hopefully gt a bit of money for him

He is never available

An absolute Rolls Royce of a player BUT no use if he cant play for more than2-3 games without being injured.....same goes for Ake

Yeah, how we going to fill that spot in the stands if he goes.

Fucking hell.

Let's get serious here, he's a walking sick note and has been since the day he arrived. He's had a leash from Pep longer than anyone.

We can't keep carrying players

Still a valuable player to have around. CB is not the position that needs further attention during the summer.
