John Stones

Has it all to prove to be a 50 mill defender not convinced.

The fact that Man City paid £47.5 million for him proves he is a £47.5 million defender.

Worse now!

A few city fans I worked with years ago were very clear about their hatred of us, and stated they preferred the shower. Can't stand them and hope Stones is Rodwell mk2.

I always thought Rodwell was at most average, Stones is however the real deal, a proper quality player.

But that makes Niasse a £13.5m attacker.

The fact that Man City paid £47.5 million for him proves he is a £47.5 million footballer playing in defence.

CYP.

If all Stones ever wanted was a manager telling him to Row Z it, then why didn't he want to stay at Everton and give Koeman, a renowned defender in his day, a chance? Stones might not be saying it but I think he was deeply unhappy at his treatment off some of the fans last season.

Stones can't pin it all on Martinez. Stones had already played enough senior football in his career to know when to play football at the back and when just to get rid of it, regardless of whatever his dumb manager wanted.

If a professional defender needs a manager to tell him when to put it in row Z, then you seriously have to question their understanding of the game.

Pep Guardiola didn't buy Niasse.

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

Pep Guardiola didn't buy Niasse.

Lets not start our own fawn fest on here too

Been nauseating the coverage so far this season

 

[mawders]

Whatever.

We know he's a class act, he just wasn't coached right at the time he needed to be. He will end up being one the best english defenders the country has ever produced. Will be interesting to see where he goes next, after Pep leaves City after 3 years

Interesting logic.

 

[Seanjd]

Interesting logic.

One which should be applied to most things in life.
