5 | John Stones - 2025/26

Pep is trying to get him to find a new club imo. Stones said he wants to stay and Pep’s response seems to be “ok, fine. But this is what it will be like for you”. Since he’s not non-homegrown, there is no desperate requirement to sell him, but Pep knows John won’t be happy if he stays and is trying to get him to take the hint. Honestly think Pep doesn’t want to lead him on by making him feel more involved.
That all makes sense but Stones can’t be worse than Dias or Akanji at this point. I’d take the gamble on his fitness because Dias and Akanji have been liabilities for months.

How many gambles on his fitness can we keep making ?

If he was able to keep fit this argument would disappear in a flash. Not his fault but he is injury prone.

I'm saying that knowing his injury record. I don't really care about it anymore because he's probably going to leave for free next season or go on loan with us covering most of his wages. Might as well just play him and rotate instead of running him into the ground as usual. We just can't keep going on with Dias or Akanji next to Gvardiol.
 
A mystery as to why he did not come on. Warmed up for a good 10 mins before half time and appeared to take instructions.

Certain players do not seem to be in the plans or get a look in.
 
Hope so but if he does go it is going to hurt like SWP, YaYa David Silva Vinny. Sergio Zaba KDB and finally one of my favourite players Gareth Barry.
Do not make me cry.... I agree with all of those apart from YaYa (just slightly for him but he wasn't my favourite) I cried when the others went and I cried when Dunnie Monster went.
If John Boy goes I don't know what I'd do!!! ;-) :-) It might be 'Cry me a River' time.

I wouldn't worry too much, Khusanov is right here for you, he's such a warm and friendly lad
