There is not a single centre back playing now or over the last few years that I would have called world class. They are all flawed. It´s a pity.
Most would cite Ramos and Pique for example as top defenders, but in truth they are pretty braindead and average. The best at the moment, most would say are Silva and Kompany I think, but they have their clumsy moments too.
Varane looks promising as that kind of calm composed CB, but let´s see how he fares when he has a pre-season is fully back from injury.
Jags has his weaknesses alright but for us, over the course of a season, he is more than worth his place in the team. One thing though is I think Distin gets criticised too much in comparison as his blunders are more obvious, whereas Jags commits as many errors such as misreading crosses or the bounce of the ball or bad positioning but doesn´t get as much stick. However, both more than make up for any errors in any given game by the quality and effort shown the majority of times.
He is generally a first choice defender in one of the best defences in the league over the last couple seasons, and as such would still fetch us up to 10mil I reckon, and I still wouldn´t want to sell him. I´d much rather him finish his time here ending up as a valuable squad player. I´d miss those games where it seems every ball that comes into the box is cleared by Jags in any way he can!
