. ;. so the question for me now is where does jagielka fit in? Stones is looking like becoming an awesome 'ball playing' centre back which I'm not sure Jags is. & he clearly fits into Martinezs set-up. difficult 1 this because jags is a terrific defender, but I cannot see roberto breaking up this winning side anytime soon.

It's the Oviedo/Baines thing again.

Jagielka will turn 32 this summer; Stones will turn 20 in May. I don't see any issue with each getting games in our team for the next few seasons. That's until Jagielka eventually retires or leaves and Stones is a regular first choice and becomes our captain. The bigger issue for me is who is successor to Distin?

Tyias browning is the answer sid

Browning might be, Swan, but he's not yet as ready for the first team as Stones clearly is. Until Browning is truly ready, I feel that we would miss Distin more than any other of our defenders.
