John Stones

[Finney Is Back]

The problem is he isn't actually good. The hype is mainly because for an English CB he is very comfortable on the ball and that is relatively rare on these shoes. Defensively he's a mess and always has been. The belief had been that you could improve his defensive skills but it's never going to happen.

So like a Juan Foyth that counts as homegrown?

Basically, I think Fourth is probably better tbh.

If Stones wasn't English there would no hype around him because he's really nothing special at all.

I can never see this fella joining us. 100% not what Jose wants

The bbc gossip column via the Star reports that he turned down a loan to us as he didn’t want to uproot his family.

Whilst any genuine interest on our part surprises me, he’s not going to get any better defensively by not playing matches and being coached by ‘I want my defenders to be midfielders’ Frauduola.

might as well have kept Foyth. I always thought Arteta would take him to Goons and complete a wonderful partnership with sideshow Bob!

If we're going for Stones, we might as well have kept Foyth. With a consistent run of games he could have come really good for us.
