So harsh on Stones this. He's made a few errors but I think the lack of trust in Howard was telling. Never did that in the cup with Joel etc.
Its unreal, honestly.

I think it's down to Jagielka and Mori's reluctance to fanny about with it at the back - in comparison to young Johnny who loves it.
All those calling or Stones to be sold should be ashamed of themselves.
He is quality that just needs to be nurtured and encouraged, not yelled and moaned at.
Can't see El Bob agreeing to any sale unless the player insists he wants to go, and right now, if he's got any sense he'll take the rest he's getting as time to watch and realise that we've got the makings of a really, really competitive team and a big, big kick-on now and European footie again next season is achievable.
Agree with this 100%Hold on. No one is CALLING for him to be sold. Just a simple observation that we've looked just fine at the back (at worst), and possibly stronger, while still scoring for fun. So to simply consider the possibility that selling a player who put in a transfer request at the start of the season for 50 million pounds, whilst not seeing a huge downside, if at all, in defense...might not be the end of the world...
Calm down lads. The player most likely to ask for a move if we don't finish in the CL spots is Stones. We can survive that loss, even if he becomes Franz Beckenbauer Jr. We can't survive the loss of Lukaku or Barkely at this point.
