2017/18 Phil Jagielka

[Zatara]

I think there's no harm , and its entirely possible, to gracefully manage Jags, and tell him that he has to compete for a place, that he's a senior player, with a lot to offer, but he can't be club captain any more because of the uncertainty of his starting position. The problem is we didn't get solid performances from Holgate, Keane or Funes Mori (obvz due to injury/form)
/. Holgate, Mori, Keane, Williams, Jags, Connolly - 2 out of them have to go, and either we take a big risk on Funes Mori + Keane or Holgate as the first choice, or get someone else in. Connolly (Loan) and Williams leave

Coleman has to be skipper! Pickford vice captain.

Connolly isnt a centre back...

I guarrantee you that Keane beats all of them in a race. Unfortunately that doesn't translate to on field success.

Jags reactions are slow, he's easily pushed around, he cannot play a ball well enough at this point to play in Silva's build from the back 4 tactic. He was really good at one point, but there is simply a time to go. Now is it. New captain, new attitude.

Surely Holgate is the fastest by a mile...

Hero.

*waits*

 

[ijjysmith]

Still the best defender at the club.

LOL @ US

 

[sageyefc]

Retire

 

[MikeH72]

He’s never leaving as long as Bill Kenwright has a functioning hole in his arse.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Every time this thread is bumped I hope it’s his retirement announcement.

He’s an absolute leech. 36 and still taking a wage from us.

RETIRE

 

[efcjames]

35 and still better than Keane.

Echo 27 October 2014 Everton FC defender Phil Jagielka is the fastest player in the Premier League
No player has been quicker in 2014/15 than the Blues captain, who has recorded speeds up to nearly 24mph

Let's have a run off...Holgate, Keane and Jagielka, and put Bolasie in it too.

DCL is pretty rapid, id say he and Holgate would be the fastest.. depends on the distance though...walcott 3rd place.

[Big Fat Sam]

Yeah definitely.

 

[fandjango]

Keeping players for too long has to be something that has to be eliminated.

Happened with Osman and hibbert. And is now happening with jags baines and Dunc.

If your no longer good enough you should get shipped out. I'ts not rocket science

Neither is spelling, grammar and capitalisation but hey you've managed to fail at all three.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Reckon we'll extend his contract?

Reckon we'll extend his contract?

I would imagine so, only fair that the senior pro's get a few years under a new progressive manager to show their worth. Captain Jags, Wazza, Bainesy, Morgs and Stek need to stay and lead us to glory. The experience will be invaluable for our future blues stars such as Pennington, Browning, Tarashaj and McAleny.
