I reckon you’re wrong.We may already have his replacement within the club and im not talking Rodri.
I reckon Stones will make a solid DM allowing a Dias-Laporte CB pairing. Sorry but Rodri isn't good enough as our DM, IMHO.
He would get considerably less time and space to operate as a DM, and the strengths of Rodri & Ferna are absent Stones’ game.
He is a natural right sided central defender and best suited there.
Personally I’d like to see us play a back 3 of Stones - Dias - Laporte, with Ake and THB as the left & right (respectively) back ups to that line up.
With Walker down the right and A.N. Other down the left, one DMs (Rodri/Ferna), and 3 AMs (KDB-IG-PF) in behind a new focal point striker, I think we would be much more solid defensively, because we look most suspect with runs through the FB-CB channel, with our own FBs able to roam up and down the wings.
It wo g happen with Mahrez, Sterling, Bernardo and Torres, but it should on occasion!
