It is clear to most fans by now that Nastasic is a special talent. He will develop more quickly playing first team football regularly than he would playing at EDS level and that is good enough for me.
There are so may of us that believe that De Niro has posted a clarkie because so many of us believe in the player. He shows a positional sense and composure that belie his years and I look forward to watching him develop into a legendary player at the club. The management team have placed considerable faith in someone so young and I trust their judgement.
Joleon is a good premiership defender and I will always support him while he is at the club; particularly because he helped us win our first trophies since I was 7 and cheering beneath my Dad's protective shield. Joleon's achilles heel though is, unfortunately for him, the strength very apparent in Matija: composure. Joleon often looks uncomfortable when he has the ball and, his passing range places limitations on the midfield as they drop deeper to collect the ball and secure possession. All will show in time of course but let us all for now just celebrate the potential emergence of a precocious talent.
