John Stones - 2018/19 Performances

[FantasyIreland]

Southgate has certainly played a big part too

He has in the sense he has given John the playing time to prove his many know nowt critics wrong.

Much of Southgates tactical approach was borrowed from our training ground.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Our future captain I think. Has looked superb again this season and was my man of the match vs Arsenal.

Stones is a confidence player and Southgate instilled it in him again.. he wasnt even in our team at the end of last season and now he looks our best defender.

I don't think Stones really has to fight anyone else for a place. He's got a starting spot now and if he keeps playing well he's going to stay there, pretty much regardless of what anyone else does.

Agreed.

 

[RandomJ]

Few papers reporting we're due to offer him a new contract. Hope it's true.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Pretty early, Think he has 4 years left on his current deal

Could be on low salary though and we want to increase it

 

[RandomJ]

He's on £120k a week and the reports say we want to up that to £170k a week.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Back in for Newcastle

 

[Withnail]

Needs to start along with Laporte against the Geordies.

Has to be back in, we are likely going to be on the front foot the whole game and need his ability on the ball. I understand the need for Kompany in some games but in others I feeel he’s having a massive impact on our build up.
