Matija Nastasic

Seems like the club just lock him in a broom closet and hope everyone forgets he exists.

I hope he can find a new club soon, but why isn't there any rumours? Noone wants him? At this point I won't begrudge him if he gets loaned to shady italian club.

Said he wants to fight for his place but pellers just doesn't rate him!

My guess is that the club already agreed to sell Nasty to someone (most likely Arsenal). I am guessing that they were unable to close the deal prior to the transfer deadline and that they are now just waiting for the January transfer window when they will announce the deal and he will move to London.

Purely speculation on my part.

That's all we need a slow .weak defender to add to our problems. Nastatic is not a prospect as evidenced by the lack of offers last transfer window. If he could play left back I'd say give him a shot but as a central defender he's up there with Smalling.

He got a lot of offers actually, he turned them down because he wanted to fight for his place. And to suggest he is like Smalling pretty much makes your opinion not worth listening to.

He did have lot of offers but it's silly to think he turned them down wanting to fight for the place. He turned them down probably because package was much, much smaller.

It's a shame he's out in the cold. He is a promising young player who hasn't had a proper chance under Pellegrini. Disappointed with Pellegrini for doing this to him, didn't seem like the type of manager to do that sort of thing.

Doubt it's Pellegrini's fault this except him not rating Matija.

Guess Nastasić made himself some enemies at higher level while refusing to move on.

one of the Inside city clip shows him training .

Shocking really as in his first season he looked like he had promise.

I really thought this lad was goin all the way, is he just another of our coaching teams fuck ups

Has he even made the bench since his mystery illness last year? Makes you think something dodgy has gone on there. I don't think he is remotely the answer to our problems, but it's more just curious as to what's happened.

If I was to make a complete guess, based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever, I'd suggest he's had some drug issues.

I was thinking the same myself. These mysterious injuries that keep players out for months are sometimes cover for drug bans, which are generally secret. Typically that would be around 6 months for something like cocaine. That would also probably explain why he's out of favour. However I must stress that's pure speculation.

Rather than go down the class A drug theory!!
I reckon it's due to his mystery illness in which pellers said even the medical staff don't know what's up. So I'm thinking he's faking injury or its mental and pelegrini doesn't trust him.
