Lescott could play the same bad balls back to Hart, but at least he can defend
Ted Hughes wrote:I have never seen any of this talent which so many people have talked about on here.
I have been asking since day one for someone to tell me exactly what it is, that he's supposed to be good at. He has no pace, can't read the game, can't really tackle, can't jump, isn't especially strong; he's not even good at fouling. When has any of that been different ? Last season, he got skinned alive by any fucker who ran at him, & outjumped by anyone who challenged him.
For some reason, people couldn't see it then but are noticing it now. Nothing has changed; he has always been like that. Only City fans seem not to notice.
It's not just me who saw it; I asked neutrals & even rags, just in case I was missing something. Not found one person who rates him. Two Christmasses ago, I saw some rag mates I haven't seen for years & we discussed the likely outcome of that season; they were saying we didn't look solid anymore & were wondering why the fuck we had destroyed the Lescott/Vinny partnership for 'that fuckin' whatsisname; he's shit'. All I could do was agree completely.
Not only is he a non entity defensively, but also on the ball. He can make the occasional decent pass, but most of the time, he just passes it simple or back to the keeper. He doesn't open teams up or find angles; he just does exactly what Lescott does, apart from Lescott also can tackle, anticipate & head the ball, which Nastasic does barely at all.
He is nearly 21 now & age is still an excuse but if he's really that good, he will need to have one fucking amazing year, because if he's the same at 22, he won't be worth even 10% of what we paid for him. There are equaly average players of 22, all over Europe, going cheap.

He has gone backwards and I agree that we need to sell him on this summer , there again we need to sell Lescott, as well as one or 2 others.
