John Stones

[Khalekan]

If Stones became available would you have him back?

In principle no.....but if it meant never seeing Keane in our team again then yes.

I could never see the fuss about Stones when he was here....and he hasn't got any better since he left IMO.

 

[Hibbo]

Holgate will be better, if he isn't already.

 

[twoblue]

Too similar in what we have already.

This is a joke, right?

 

[Albertini78]

I am sure Arteta knows how much of a liability he can be .
Stones and Luiz as a CB pairing would not fill the GK with confidence

Sounds like it could be on to Arsenal

It says something about the lack of progress Stones has made that there is even a thread about this.
Apart from any other consideration his salary alone would rule out a deal.

Says more about our lack of progress imo

Arteta saying he dosent want Stones, when Pep gets shut I can see him going Newcastle or Villa at best.

Good player that lad and we got robbed by City. I would take him back tomorrow but only offer them peanuts.

Sergio Aguero has played the same amount of games as Stones for City.

Shall we put in a bid for him as well?

 

[Paul Rideout]

I’d rather have him than Keane.

but tbh I’d rather have neither

Think we ought to see if Chelsea are willing to sell Zouma in the summer. Doesn't seem to be going to well for him down there. He was great for us last season. Less error prone and should be considerably cheaper that Stones. Hope he will push for a move, he certainly seemed to like it here.

I hope we go nowhere near Zouma or Stones. Zouma is a mistake waiting to happen but his pace digs him out of trouble sometimes. Stones is good on the ball but can't defend perhaps he would be suited with a switch to DM where he isn't going to get punished as often when caught in possession.

Excellent idea! Might get some kind of a twofer.

Aguero has 255 appearances.
Stones has 75

Remember little Everton were holding him back, and he would flourish into a world-class player at City. Never happened, did it?

Cant agree with that at all.

Swap him for Mina or Keane, that's it. Better out there for an upgrade.

Indeed, he is tidy on ball like, however, does not do pressured while having said ball. Not a good attribute for a supposed ball playing defender.

That turn of pace and agility is what we need. But your right none you mention are what we need.

Oh, he was going to be “da best centre ‘arf in der werrrld, la’ “ lol

And woe betide anyone on here whom did not agree with that fallacy
