John Stones signs new 5 year deal

[Deleted member 77198]

On top of my earlier point, I'd like to make another argument as to why Stones is underrated.


Many have said and still say that Dias has been the one to save Stones. Whilst this may be somewhat true, it really plays down Stones himself.


If you go back to the post match thread for our win against Wolves at the start of last season, there were a few of us that had noted that Stones was actually looking like the player of old. This was before Dias arrived. It was clear back then that Stones was on the right path, and Dias or no Dias, Stones was set to triumph.

The same with England. People for some stupid reason credit Maguire, but Stones was just as effective with Mings.

I do believe Dias has had a big impact of Stones (particularly with decision making in defence), but Stones himself is the main reason why last season was such a good one.

Stones was even excellent in the midst of his poor period. His performance against Chelsea at home in 2019-20 was one of the best individual performances of that season.

He’s always been a top player, just his injuries and his confidence in his body holding up that was the issue.

Reckon we can finally get that £10million everybody wanted from Arsenal now we've got him tied down.

The highest is certainly KDB probably around 375-400k.. I suppose you're right but City have always done a great job at keeping their wage structure sound, and it seems like we're getting away from that.

KDB is not on £375k a week. Miles off it

To the tune of my old man's a dustman.

John Stones plays for City,
His passes are so cool,
And if its raining heavy,
He'll ware his blue cagoule.

John Stones plays for City,
Under pressure he stands tall,
And when the chance arises,
He'll score it with his balls.

I'll get my coat.

Disappointed wasn't wearing his cagoule for the interview tbh. :)
