Of course they do, very often and it's a real shame that that's the case, but with this I'd say it's fair. Smalling was fantastic last season for Man United, one of the better CBs in the league and Stones has immense potential and has been showing it in his first few games with City.
What? Smalling and Stones are probably England's 2 best centre backs. In this case, nothing to do with what club they play for. Michael Keane is good but he's nothing particularly special, in fact I'd go so far as to say that our very own Dunky is better!
