Arsenal bid for Jagielka?

Do people forget we've got a world cup finalist centre half or am I missing something?

The fact that he is a WC finalist centre half is overrated. He played on an enormously talented team that was on the short list of teams expected to go that far. Are we supposed to not rate Gareth Bale because his team couldn't even qualify for the WC?
 
The few times I saw him at CB he hardly looked assured, he lost his man at the front post a couple of times, once of which he went on to score (I'm not giving specifics i'm not pedantic enough to remember). He also gave the ball away to a Blackpool player with a shoddy pass, who (if he wasn't ****e) wouldve punished us. In other words he hasn't convinced me.

I'd like John to be a good player for us, I just don't think he ever will.

Will be all about game-time and creating a partnership. Distin was fairly poor when he turned up, shone in the 2nd season.

Heitinga needs his ego stroking. He knows Moyes would never play him over Jags even if he had a blinder for 3 games.

You slap Jonny in there, tell him he's number 1 centre back now show me what you can do...he'll turn up. He's Dutch...they all need their ego stroking.

And, as said before, we've never looked solid at the back since it was Neville Jags Yobo Lescott playing.

Erm...yeah IMO. They conceeded about 5 goals in reaching the final which is good going and that defence looked solid throughout the campaign.

And Gareth Bale is overrated.

Haha.

I think you have a point though. Some people expect CBs to be ace immediately. It takes time to forge partnerships and get used to your role.

Plus I too think you'd see more out of Johnny if you said to him "You're number one" rather than "You're the spare one".
 
I really don't see Phil Jagielka going to Arsenal. Arsenal don't have money to throw around so they'll wont pay our high prices
 
Haha.

People are panicing because they dont want Jags to go. I dont, but as we both know, its how we're ran and the less success or finish in the table just means more improved and bigger teams will want your better players. That's the nature of it.

If we were able to keep up with the Jones and compete on the finanical front, then we'd be more inclined to rebuff offers and give the player a chance to take his game to the next level.

Sadly we cant, so we need to sacrifice.

It seems as though everyone thinks Heitinga is absolute dog turd and we need to spend £10mill replacing Jags with Scott Dann etc...doesnt make any sense.

Distin, Heitinga, Yobo, Duffy...loan - Onuoha, or a vast amount of good centre halves out there. Or get an out of contract one - http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/tran...n-list-all-the-players-available-for-free-in- Bosingwa, Upson, Spector, Stephen Caldwell
