It could also be a very good CB acknowledging the talent of another.
Pique is, IMO, a massive bellend, but he is part of a fantastic Barcelona defence for nearly a decade and has been brought up in the style Guardiola plays from childhood.
If he rates Stones that highly then it's at best someone who knows a lot about being a CB at the highest levelidentifying him as world class.
At worst its at least a sign that he is a player who fits the Barcelona/Guardiola mould of centre back to a tee.
Honestly I've been quite against the Stones hype, didn't really care if he went to Chelsea in he summer and thought £40m being rejected was hilarious.
But the more I see him this season the more he's winning me over. Would be pissed if he went to the rags.
Just says to me that Pique is one of more than a few that are overrating him by a fair bit. Doesnt mean he isn't a bad player, or has the potential to be very good. But he's not in one of the best 50 centre halves right now let alone 1 or 2.
wont happen.before buying any CB we should recall Denayer instead.
What would be the point? If you think he's one of the best couple, me giving you 50 names isn't going to change your opinion. Quite frankly, I couldnt be bothered.Go on, this should be fun. Name 50 better then.
No fucking way we should be even thinking about buying a central defender before giving Denayer decent amount of games. Notwithstanding, Denayer is head and shoulders above Stones.

Clearly, City love.
