I agree but a lot of these players were in the twilight of their career we bought Stones at his peak.

The goal line clearance against Liverpool was worth his fee on its own.

Mangala and Bony are the worst for me.

So because he cost more than most of those I’ve named makes him a far worse player ?
by that logic Lukaku is a better striker than Aguero because he cost the rags more than what City payed for Sergio

Not sure why Stones gets so much credit for that clearance when he was just clearing his own shit. He partly was the reason dippers got so close to goal.

yes Bony was a massive disappointment. I rated him for Swansea but he came to us and his play was slow, he couldn’t score goals and he had the turning circle of an artic lorry.

Pep, don’t spring a surprise and play Stones tomorrow please

A leader and future captain I was told by someone on here.

I didn't agree then, and I do not agree now.

The moment I knew he was soft as shit when at Feyenoord in 2017 think it was Silva (when subbed off) who offered him the captain armband, but Stones refused.

Get the transfer request in fella.

Take the pay cut,rebuild and start afresh,you won't get an opportunity here now.

I was a big fan of his at Everton. On the ball he was at ease all the time and was half decent defending. He sort of polarised fans on their view of him. One season at City he looked excellent and for international duty he was first one on the team sheet for me. I'm not sure what happened to him. Injury? Lack of confidence? Shite defensive partners? A big fall from grace whatever it is

Nothing happened. It’s just Pep. Ok he was injured very often.
But
Pep finds most important the passing by central defender. Not defending. We should have warriors behind and flying ballerinas upfront.

Bony says hi

 

[Keeper!]

Get rid, his manager clearly no longer trusts him, time for a new start, he is taking up a valuable squad place and high wage.

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Who?

 

[Neville Kneville]

Nice to see him get on.

He’s not even in the top 3 worst buys in the current squad.

Mendy, Mahrez, Cancelo and Rodri all currently represent worse value than Stones.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Hopefully a new beginning,he's still more than capable of reaching the heights we all hoped he would when he signed.
