John Stones

[Khalekan]

If he ever ends up at barca I think this thread should be stickied, from Barnsley to Barcelona n all that....

Reminds me off the old 10CC song......From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

It's clearly that orange gear that's the problem, he wore that away to Barcelona as well.

I think that you'll find that that was Kompany's fault for not anticipating that Stones might be outmuscled by the 9 stone winger.

He's looking increasingly "Francis Jeffers" isn't he?

Shame because he has all the potential in the world to be the very best, but it's looking like he made that move to City prematurely.

He makes mistakes but then he's very young, he will still go on to have a great career. Everyday I'm gutted we sold him

That was Osmanesque.

But he's had a few years of regular top flight football now. Why will age resolve the fundamental mistakes in his game? These players are coached from a young age, so he's probably had 10+ years of coaching experience telling him how to play, and how to avoid costly mistakes. Yet here we are, and he's still doing it. Perhaps he's just not going to ever stop making them?

Can you imagine Mike Lyons going to ground because a striker held his hand!! State of modern defenders

We got a very good price for him though........

I remember getting slaughtered over saying this lad was as piss poor a defender as I'd seen. That doesn't happen anymore, funnily enough.

It'd be nice if his army of erstwhile admirers could shuffle forward though and tell us how they feel now about young Beckenbauer,

And yet the other day you were marvelling at how Martinez turned him into an International.

As with all our players that were touched by evil, it will take time to rid their bodies and souls of the 3 years of shocking training they were subjected to.

Post Martinez Stress Disorder.

No mate, I said he took them to international status (Stones and Barkley), nothing about his talent. I've always said he's a centre midfield player never a CB.

Oh look...I was right....AGAIN.

Right?

The best manager in the world continues to play him at CB.
