Dean Saunders has reacted to reports which say John Stones will be allowed to leave Manchester City this summer, expressing his belief that mistakes may have cost the defender a future at the Etihad.
The Sun are reporting the story, claiming City are ready to sell Stones as he has fallen down Pep Guardiola’s pecking order since the January signing of Aymeric Laporte, a £57m arrival from Athletic Club of Bilbao.
Stones had played just four Premier League games since the turn of the year, and though he started the campaign in excellent form, the mistakes which characterised his early stay with City have started to creep back into his game.
