Rafa would make Stones better when Guardiola couldn't?
I feel as though Stones knows if he makes a mistake he's out of that Man City team. Rafa would put an arm around him and make him part of the backbone of a new look Newcastle.
Stones has been poor of late but I definitely think there is a better player in there.
I don't think Rafa is known to be one to do that. I do think Rafa would get something out of him though, much like he did with Lascelles.
I'd have Stones here as a long-term replacement for Fernandez perhaps, but on paper I don't think he's a signing that would immediately oust any of our starters. Could probably be a project trying to help him find his confidence again.
