Wouldn’t be surprised to see a new deal offered to Stones in the coming weeks.For anyone who doesn't know the current situation with player contracts ending.
2021: Aguero, Fernandinho, Garcia
2022: Stones
2023: De Bruyne, Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez, Gundogan, Mendy
2024: Foden, Walker, Rodri, Zinchenko
2025: Bernardo, Laporte, Ederson, Torres, Cancelo, Aké
2026: Dias
Yes, if not anything to stop him leaving on a free. Think Chelsea, Spurs and le Arse would be sniffing around otherwiseWouldn’t be surprised to see a new deal offered to Stones in the coming weeks.
A few weeks ago I would've agreed that any contract extension would've been for that very reason, but think he has played his way back into Pep's plans now. His return to form, should it continue, would be a huge bonus in a lot of respects. With four quality centre halves we could focus our spending elsewhere next summer, and sell Garcia in January if Barca could up with a suitable offer. Also helps with the homegrown quota too.Yes, if not anything to stop him leaving on a free. Think Chelsea, Spurs and le Arse would be sniffing around otherwise

The way players seem to get injured these days I would not sell any of our CB we are going to need them all with all the competitions we are in, the need to rest players and inevitable injuries.. We do however need at least one more out and out striker, hopefully we can land one in Jan.. Not sure who is available or at the right price though so it will be a tricky one to solve..I said a few times over the summer that Stones could come good and that we would end up with too many CBs. I really like Ake, in fact I think we have 4 class CBs. I think we may need to sell one as trying to keep 4 happy is not going to work. Stones coming into form may just bump up the price we can get for him, I just cant see us selling any of the other 3.
