John Stones

[Groucho]

All our good players will leave if we continue to finish 10th.

Well yes but I'm hoping for higher up than that.

 

[MartSlinger]

Think Ross is already one of our best paid. And its more than likely stones will be off next year no matter what contract is put in front of him

Yeah Ross shot up to £60k when he signed that new deal the Summer we signed Rom on a perm. Could be wrong but that was only 4yrs, so it wouldnt surprise me if we offered him a new one in the Summer.

Hardly call Billy Bonds a big lump!
Or in the 1970 World Cup our own Brian Labone a cultured centre half!
Perhaps we should have kept Duffy to play along side him then as he is a stopper?

I was thinking Jack Charlton as opposed to Labone.
Bonds .. really.
Pennington is of similar ilk

 

[sageyefc]

Dont know if hes believing his own hype or what, been so ropey this year and way too casual.

 

[Efc 9911]

Good ball player but an average defender at best

 

[quasi modo]

For all his good play on the ball, he firstly is a defender and needs to learn that job.

 

[ilikecheese]

Think he needs to be dropped.

NEA i would for a few games when jags is back, been poor for most of the season bar a good patch the other month

For all of the sexy football he plays he's pretty crap at doing his number one job.

 

[MACCA75]

Now if only we'd brought in Ashley Williams and Yarmalenko with that money..

 

[ah11984]

Has so much to learn about actual defending. Understandable at his age.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Was very poor today unfortunately

 

[ftk43]

I think his value is going to plummet, i'm starting to suspect he's never going to become a great solid defender in this league.

Take away his ball-playing skills and he's nothing special. And i know what's more important for a defender in any side apart from Wigan 2.0 by Roberto Martinez.

Rom gave an absolute perfect performance today and stones gave possibly the worst centre half display you will see. Watch the kid get ripped apart on MOTD tonight.

Righfully so. He's been crap for a while now.

For some reason gets a near 100% pass from our fans.

When Rom was struggling last season he got slated by many on here, but Stones seems to get none when he's been awful for most of the season at doing his number one job.

We have weird fans.
