Shopping really lift the mood, and hopefully these new additions will lift the team as well.
Stones is useless to us in the treatment room. It's on the pitch we need him, which is becoming increasingly rare for the 30 year old.I know he’s made of glass, but losing stones means losing an experience leader, who’s hugely popular with pep and the squad. On his day he’s world class and can play midfield as well. I’d keep him
I've been following the Mrs round aldi for over an hour and I can assure you shopping isn't lifting my mood.Shopping really lift the mood, and hopefully these new additions will lift the team as well

Yep, I love John Stones, but since he's joined us, here's how many league games he's managed per season: 27, 18, 24, 16, 22, 14, 23, 16, and 8 so far this season. Those are Ledley King numbers.Stones is useless to us in the treatment room. It's on the pitch we need him, which is becoming increasingly rare for the 30 year old.
It's time to put sentiment aside & look to the future. This is the most miserable season we've had to endure since Pellegrini, & things need to change.
That's why it pains me to repeatedly see Stones drawing his decrepit body to England duty every time he gets the call. His injury situation will only degrade further with his advancing age.Yep, I love John Stones, but since he's joined us, here's how many league games he's managed per season: 27, 18, 24, 16, 22, 14, 23, 16, and 8 so far this season.

Well yeah, Ake hasn't been much better.That's why it pains me to repeatedly see Stones drawing his decrepit body to England duty every time he gets the call. His injury situation will only degrade further with his advancing age.
It's time we began preparing for life beyond Stones, Walker, KDB, Bernardo, Kovacic, Aké & Gundog, & brought in serious competition & cover for Rodri.
The situations regarding Nunes & Jack also need urgent attention. That's over a third of the outfield squad with serious question marks over their immediate futures, & we have little to fall back on without them.
How/why have we allowed this situation to develop?
I think it's the product of having a small elite squad playing 60+ games per season. We've rinsed them like an F1 car which has shortened their career spans.Well yeah, Ake hasn't been much better.
10, 14, 26, 29 and 8 so far this season. At least he's got better every season, but we've had awful luck with injuries at CB. Ake had an injury the season before we bought him, and I remember a few people being a bit worried. But the two seasons before that, he played every game, so he was hardly a crock until he came to us.
