City fans writing John Stones off too early?

i thought he had just agreed a new 40k a week deal at city?
Nothing yet, we all thought we were waiting for the CAS decision - it might be agreed in principle and signed at end of season perhaps. Peps showing trust in the lad by playing him. Cannot say fairer than that. I suppose Garcia is going to ask - if we sign 2 centre backs where does it leave him? If say Laporte, Ake, Koulibaly and him were our 4 centre backs and Stones and Ota were shipped out.
 
I think Stones is going to be v good. He's obviously got personal problems but we've seen the best of him and it was pretty damn good for that season.

In the squad I think he's an important part of the team and club. We stand by our players and the team will fight on their behalf
 
I've seen people say Kompany is past it. Aguero past it/not able. Ferny wasn't good enough when pep came. Walker last season was a liability. Yet Pep sticks by them, and they have always given back in spades eventually. I think Stones is worth it , he loves the club , he will fight for us if they stick by him.

Absolutely spot on.

Groupthink is a major problem with our fan base.

One poster mentioned Stones is only liked because he wears a cagoule, and I've seen about 5 posters make the same joke, and then it becomes the narrative.

Being the best centre half with the ball at his feet in the league, playing a key part in the Quadruple winning team, being England's best defender at the World Cup. All irrelevant.

Now, the story is, he's a disaster waiting to happen, his private life is in absolute turmoil, he's not even been shaving properly, and fans only like him because he once wore a cagoule and knows the words to Wonderwall. Bonkers.
 
Forget the fans. It seems like Stones has already been written off by the man who actually matters, Pep. There is clearly truth in the reports that we want 2 CB's: Koulibaly and Ake.

If those go through, it's over for Stones. He's done. And he probably knows this.

Always find it funny seeing supporters in denial about things like this. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to deduce that Pep is done with Stones.

I said that Stones was done when Pep dropped him from the derby and explained his selection pre-match as "needing players with character" and I don't think he's ever won Pep back.

Fully. It's really is a shame but I'm surprised by some of the posts in this thread. Personally I wouldn't trust Stones in a high pressure big game at all. His consistency over 90 minutes is piss poor. Bit like Otamendi, he's got a terrible habit of giving up one guilt edge chance to the opposition every 90 minutes. And that's before we get into his terrible physical condition.
