Nonsense. Impossible to judge whether he's been a waste of money at this point.

Not sure about that, some thought Siggy was a waste of money soon as the fee was announced and haven't let it go.

Mina hasn't looked anything worth like what we paid.
However I still think there is more to come from him

Reports if true in Spain that Mina has done his Fifth metatarsal for the 4th time

Well, better than his fourth metatarsal for the fifth time I suppose.

Still injured. What a massive waste of money this lad has been.

Under a top coach he could become a rock at the back.

I fear like Stones his development hinges on the manager - sadly like Stones at us under RM I fear he'll be suspect at times and eventually leave to progress and develop under a competent defensive coach.

Needs a run in place of Keane when he's fit. He has something but needs to play with Zouma and to adjust to this league.

How he passed a medical is anyone's guess

Comfortably our best centre back, hope he returns soon and gets a run.

That doesn’t say much, tbf.

It says we could do with him back sooner rather than later, if nothing else.

If he's still injured get him in central midfield alongside Davies tomorrow.

Yes, what an utter failure Martinez was taking Stones from a 3m defender to a 45m defender in 2 seasons. And how awful is it that Stones wanted to play for the best manager in the world.

Come the end of his time at EFC Stones had an uneasy relationship with our fans thanks to El Fraudo's insistence that he divy around with it at the back.

Irrelevant what you think and irrelevant what happened with the fans
Facts:
He signed for 3m
He was sold for 45m
Martinez aided his development in bringing the ball out (divying around at the back) as he only played under Martinez
He was bought by Guardiola
Guardiola is THE manager in world football for playing from the back.
Guardiola, with unlimited resources, bought John Stones.

Finally:

This has got nothing to do with Yerry Mina. I agree with you that he could end up a rock. Needs time and patience.
