Does John Stones Deserve a Statue - Poll

[Dunne's own goal]

I promise you I love Johnny more than most here but even for me it's a no. He defo needs some sort of ever lasting tribute though. A mural?

Not until Glauber Berti gets his.

Why not?

We could start by building an intimidating ever growing army of statues outside the ground, comprised of all our legendary players and we could even call it the Terra City Army...

This would really boil some piss with our biggest haters, plus who knows maybe it could sway future legends of the sport, they'd dream of one day being immortalised in the world famous Terra City Army.

Possibly the greatest idea I’ve ever heard, and we could have them facing the away fans entrance to the stadium, to add extra intimidation.

My favourite City and England player of all time, and loved him at Everton too, but no.

4 big stone letters spelling ‘JOHN’ placed somewhere within the grounds of the Etihad is something I can get behind though.

Bernie’s dog be well pleased with that ;)

I love GENERAL John Stones but no. He’s simply not been available enough to fit in that top top bracket.

If we’re to throw up any more statues then Gundo should be next on the list, but I think we need to hold off and save them for players that are literally once in a generation club legends that completely transformed the club - Aguero, Dave, Vinny all appropriate for dragging us to the top.

I would argue Gundo being the captain of our treble winning team deserves to be put in that bracket, more so than KDB (or Bernardo) if I’m honest.

Where is Bert’s statue?

I thought we missed a massive opportunity not naming the new south stand after Trautmann, and its looks like the club are overlooking it again with the north stand, for whatever reason.

I’m guessing they’ll name a stand after Pep when he leaves.

Or even name the stadium after him but that’ll mess with sponsorship with Etihad I guess.

Love Stonsey to bits, one of my top 3 favourites. But does he deserve a statue? No. As per transfermarkt hes been injured for 616 days during his time with us.

If we're in the business of handing out statues then Bernardo should be well ahead on that list than Stones.

Our old Alan Kernaghan statue was extremely lifelike

 

[jimharri]

Can't give everyone a statue

Agreed. I'll be generous to the OP, and put this idea down to the intake of alcohol.

;-)

 

[Cobwebcat]

No. Name a training pitch after him.

 

[Sibierskii]

Give over with the statues.

Can’t knock his goal V Leicester though.

So lets go for a set of eleven statues from the 2023 CL final - all (11) birds hit with one stone - that would be awesome

 

[Tuearts right boot]

No....where does stop, statues are for heroes not over paid footballers. Nurses, soldiers, firemen, policemen etc fulfill a much more important role.

Should name the treatment room after him.

There will be that many Statues we will need to buy some land and create a tourist attraction. He’s been amazing but we cannot give a statue to nearly every player who have done us so proud

the MCFC terracotta warriors, maybe we could convert yellow car park into a statue zone, with rank upon rank of Rick Holdens

Drama Queen....

 

[asahartford1]

Yes!

Of course I had to like this.

I also voted yes.

John Stones has put his body on the line for the club, he will no doubt have serious physical issues for the rest of his life, as many less successful players do.


He should join the terracota army

It’s cringe stuff. Even KDB shouldn’t get one in my view. Statues are symbolic. The three we have from the modern era are there for a reason. They’re symbolic from where we came from to where we are now.
