Every single game he plays he sets up at least one golden chance for the opposition. He'll cost us points in every other game.

He's not a kid who can knock this rubbish off by getting more experience, he's a seasoned professional who's lost the plot and on his way down.
Exactly, it's embarrassing. Cannot think of any other 'top' team whose supposed main centre back (and captain!) gifts possession and goals to the opposition so regularly. Saturday he tried it again, thankfully Jovetic (or was it Nasri) messed up the chance when one on one.

Christ, seeing as we barely look like scoring goals, having to score at least two to win a game is hard work. I wish we had the options to drop Jagielka and send a message out that it's not good enough, but therein lies the problem: not enough options in the squad to pressure players playing rubbish... Howard, Jagielka, Barry, McGeady...
 
Apparently West Ham now in for Nastasic. Surely we would be too if that was the case? Left-footed too which adds natural balance.

Seen that Nastasic is available on loan now.

If we're not all over that then something is very wrong.

Wonder what happened to his Schalke move. Wages I'd guess.

He's lost massive amounts of form since the WC, Maybe its knocked his confidence, Him and Baines received a massive amount of stick for the early exit

I think Stones being there will see him improve over the next few months

It's worrying but I think both Distin and Jags are fine as long as Stones plays. The problem is will he stay fit and can we take the chance. I don't think we should, Distin and Alcaraz are off in the summer so I don't see the reason not to get one now especially since there are some available.

Sad as it sounds he'll probably massively favour a move to West Ham over us. They're in the mix for Europe (what!) and have the London factor.

Only reasons I can see him coming to us if we make a move are if he wants to stay in north west and if West Ham cannot offer him a spot in the starting XI.
 
according to german newspapers schalke is also in the hunt for nastasic. their coach di matteo , confirmed it on a press conference

They are both massive liabilities and could have Maldini in his prime next to them and would still be stinking the place out. John Stones being at the back isn't going to save us when Jagielka is passing to the opposition striker as last man, or when Distin is being outjumped by five foot six midfielders to head home.

He looked a lot better towards the end of the City game when hed got a bit of honest defending done. Its a confidence issue for him, thats all.

If its a loan he won't care plus he could play in the EL putting him in the European shop window.
 
Thing with Nastasic , he's not going to leave one club where he can't get a game to another. I know we have our injuries , but can't see Martinez disrupting the Jagielka/Stones partnership. I'm sure Martinez is happy to wait for the summer for a CB. As for Lennon , I saw an interesting stat regarding 'crosses created' and we were second from bottom on that list. If we are going for a player it has to be Deulofeu IMO.

The last game Distin played he was immense in the air. My problem with both is their ability in possession thy both look nervous as hell when they receive the ball and that's transmitting through the whole team. If Bobby just accepted that without Stones we have to play more direct I think they would be fine but how long is that going to last.
