Understand your view - but I could not have a more opposite opinion
We are in a problem situation because we do not have sufficient cover in the CB area - so why loan him out??
It is clear that the club and their management team see him as a central player in years to come. IMO the mistake we made was nothing to do with Nastasic - so lets stop dumping on him please.
Ideally, Kolo would have stayed but that was not the case. Lescott is seen as not good enough now - certainly nowhere near as good as Nastasic - that is not my opinion, my opinion is just a fan's opinion like yours - it seems the opinion of highly qualified managers, both current and previous. Logically (hopefully) far more qualified than you or me. We should have bought a top number 2 CB in the summer - and then let Nastasic develop - that we did not is not his fault!!
We need to get 3 quality CBs and another developing that can play in the style & formation that the manager wants - and lose the rest.
I am certainly one of those that believe that CBs need to more than they did decades ago and Lescott does now - but again that is unimportant - what is important is that Pellegrini thinks that.
I think that people are getting a bit fixated in their views against Nastasic - again just my opinion - and cannot let it go.
