Matija Nastasic

Whole back 4 were pretty good tonight but that 19 year old kid is top signing

Apart from our defending at corners ;)

Yes, but he's not alone. Some of our veterans should be ashamed.

Oh, I agree about the corners pal, there was plenty of blame to share around!
Overall he had a good game tonight

Re: Nastasic (sp)

Agree with you about Nastasic, very composed and gets better every time I see him.

At 19 he is quality, fucking very very very good.

I love Joleen, but Nasty is already better

Re: Nastasic (sp)

Still early to judge but so far his peformances are still looking very promising. It was his mistake which led to our shambolic defending from the resulting corner, but did well to recover.

Re: Nastasic (sp)

You mean the guy who gave away a silly corner from which ajax scored?

Yep thats the guy. Just looks a young kid to me who will make mistakes (like tonight). Hope he goes out on loan to learn his trade, far from the finished article thats for sure!!

Our future captain when Vinny ends his stint

Im so impressed with this lad. At his age he was bellowing to Zabs to keep the line and not drop. This kid and he is a kid is very special, he exudes class. He will make mistakes mind but he needs to know we are behind him as i dont think and im being very serious here i have not seen a better centre half of his age ever.

I like him I really do, but I feel for Joleon as he has been made the scapegoat this season. Whatever you say about the guy he has been the other central defender that had had the best defensive record over the last 2 years.
What about a back 3 of :-
Kompany Nasty. Joleon

That's probably what Mancini had in mind for this season, as he paid alot for him considering his age, looks well worth it though as he could be worth £30 mill + in a couple of years!

I think Mancini could've been thinking:

_______________Hart_______________
_____Kompany_Lescott_Nastasić______
Maicon_______________________Clichy
___________Yaya____García_________
_______________Silva_______________
__________________________________
___________Agüero__Tévez__________

In fairness it should work on paper, as we performed our best last season when the fullbacks pushed up lots to free up space in the middle. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work...

Never ever smiles, that's how defenders should look like :)

I think we might got a gem in this boy. Good thing in overall lousy transfer summer.

Re: Nastasic (sp)

Lescott = injured - for those that don't realise.

Nastasic was our best player at West Ham, and also had a good game tonight, but its early in his career so lets wait and see how he progresses, the early signs are however very promising.

Re: Nastasic (sp)

He's so calm and cool on the ball it's criminal. And I love it!
