Archie Gray has expressed his belief that a Manchester City player is better than James Maddison, stating his admiration for John Stones in a blind ranking video. Stones, who joined City in 2016 and has since made 254 appearances for the club, was ranked above the likes of Maddison, Jack Grealish, and Jarrod Bowen by Gray. Despite not having the same goal-scoring prowess as Maddison, Stones received praise from Gray for his performances on the field.
Stones, who came through the ranks at Barnsley, has been a key figure for Manchester City, contributing 16 goals and seven assists during his time at the club. Gray’s ranking of Stones above attacking players like Maddison highlights the defender’s impressive performances, despite not being a natural midfielder. As Stones continues to impress, it will be interesting to see how he fares against players like Gray in future matchups.
Looking ahead to next season, the prospect of Gray facing off against Stones in a midfield battle is an exciting one. Gray’s praise for Stones indicates the high regard in which the City player is held, showcasing his impact on the team and his ability to command respect from fellow professionals. As both players continue to ply their trade in the Premier League, their performances on the field will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
