Phil Jagielka

Make him club captain, not team captain. Decent player but I'd be disappointed if he was a starter next season.

He's almost as fond of getting a tan as Robert Earl!

....I'm all for bettering what we have but I think Jagielka has still got a lot to offer. I also get the impression he's a fine leader on the pitch so I have no problem him being skipper. Top pro, never threw his dummy out of the pram when not chosen in the final squad for an international tournament (again) despite playing a role in qualifying.

Don't write him off yet.

Love that Jags said he will be stiff in the morning and cannot wait to get the balls out in that interview

The defending by Jag's last season and a half were equally as important as Rom's goals for keeping us above the likes of Villa.

I'm not writing anyone off - he's great and I like him but I just don't see him as a captain that can motivate us during hard times and I think there are better players out there.

Never write him off, Jags is the man!

 

[Toffeelover]

Hodgson should not have dumped him - pillock.

 

[Caolam]

Jags has still something to offer Everton in the Premier League. If he was our worst player we would be some team.

Phil Jagielka suffers recurrence of his hamstring injury while John Stones will also miss Everton's Barnsley friendly

• Phil Jagielka has suffered a recurrence of his hamstring problem in training
• The defender missed much of the end of last season with the issue
• It's not clear how long Jagielka will be sidelined for after injury returned
• But he will definitely miss his side's friendly against Barnsley on Saturday
• John Stones will also miss the chance to face his old club through injury

Ronald Koeman's preparations for the new season have been severely disrupted after Phil Jagielka’s hamstring problems resurfaced.

Everton’s captain missed much of the end of last season with a tear in his hamstring - he was only able to play in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United with a painkilling injection - and that partly contributed to him missing out on England’s Euro 2016 squad.

Jagielka had been looking to start the campaign afresh under new manager Koeman but he has been forced on to the sidelines after he was injured in training at Finch Farm.

He will miss Saturday’s friendly at Barnsley, as will John Stones who has a minor fitness problem that will prevent him lining up against his former club.

There is no indication yet as to how severe Jagielka’s injury is but Koeman can ill-afford for it to be serious given that Stones remains the target of interest from Manchester City and Ramiro Funes Mori is going to the Olympics with Argentina.

Strengthening the squad is a priority for Koeman but his search for a No1 goalkeeper will have to move away from Kasper Schmeichel owing to the terms Leicester City imposed after Everton poached Steve Walsh to make him their new Director of Football.

Aside from £2million in compensation, Leicester inserted a clause that prevents Everton signing any of the champions’ players which has ruled out any prospect of Koeman signing Schmeichel, a goalkeeper he admires.
