John Stones

I'm not joking. Not at the price he went for but he did show he had enough quality for us to sign him to begin with.
He is a terrible, terrible signing.

I was delighted when we signed him, clean cut, classy, footballing , English CB, a player Pep rated so, so highly.

What is he now? 5th choice, ex England and has completely lost the trust of a manager who backed him at every opportunity.

Sorry but John Stones is busted, he's damaged and is a liability.

Such a waste of talent.

He is still worth a lot more than £20m.
 
Try and get 15m for John and replace him in the squad with Tosin. A 4th/5th choice CB should be reliable fitness wise. If one of the top choice CBs goes down we need someone who can step in and Stones isn't that. Laporte, koulibaly/Carlos, Ake, Fern, Tosin is a good set.
 
If he would stay to fight for his place I'd love to see that.

WIth Ake + Koulibaly that puts him at 4th choice until proven otherwise (assuming Garcia is sold).

Ake will get time at other positions but I dunno if he wants that.

If we can't sell Nico then that makes things more difficult.

If I had to say ideal "worst case" if he wants to start, it would be to put him on loan for a season and hope he proves himself and he comes back the season later.

He is still 26, but I think questions about his mentality to complete consistently at our level is there and he has to prove that wrong somehow.

There are SURELY PL sides that would love to have him.
