You find it hilarious despite never having seen the player in question? You really are clueless.

And no, he looked very good. Then again you think Oshea was shit so clearly judging players isn't your forte.

you still prefer keeping on discussing a four phrase sentence don't you?

Internet serious business

I've never seen Edwards either but the way people talk about him it was baffling to see Jones get compared to him. And the other stuff about him 'being one of our greatest players ever' was very strange stuff from Fergie

Did he not once say Dong Fangzhoa was the new Gabriel Batistuta? :lol::wenger:

It was Sir Bobby who made the comparison along with Crerand and Mcguinness. And it was the style of play that was compared not their ability.

I watched batigol play and dong was nowhere to him.
 
where the heck is he, he'd just got back from the last injury then disappeared again. Is farcical.
 
I still think he will be FWIW.

There's still a good chance of that happening anyway.

He's a good player when he's 'fit'.

No matter how good he becomes, he'll never be a captain anywhere until he proves that he can stay fit.
 
There always has to be a question mark over a player who would probably play exactly the same as they do if they were drunk.
 
Was on the fantasy footy site, and checking some United defender stats, and checked Jones's record out.

Think I clocked two 90mins in the league and something like 500mins all in.

That's out of 29 league games.

An incredible record. Always seems to put himself out for 7-8 weeks every 2 or 3 appearances
 
His time is up. We need to buy an established CB and make TFM a regular in the first team squad.

Jones needs to go to a mid-table club like Everton, prove his fitness and the fact he is actually a decent player for 3-4 seasons before earning a big move again.

He's done nothing in 5 seasons at United apart from regress.

I'm done with players who've been sitting around for years and have been given a pass in the name of potential. My club is being destroyed and we need to ship out all the dross. LVG, Jones, Fellaini, Rooney, Mata, Carrick can all feck off. Nothing would make me happier than never seeing these guys put on a United shirt again.
 
That was posted yesterday was it an April fools joke.
 
Just keep him away from the training pitch. We don't need anymore injuries.
 
He's probably played the same amount of games as Shaw this season, which is a real shocker, as that was such a terrible injury.

Still hope he can achieve his potential here, but we undoubtedly need to buy a quality centre back for next year. No way is Mourinho playing Blind there.
 
Bubble football might be the best thing we have to keep him fit.
 
He needs to be shown the exit door this summer or accept a squad player role on a reduced salary.
 
He needs to be moved on.

He really, really does. Hasn't lived up to his early potential as many players fail to do. He seems to be absolutely cursed with injuries too which has played it's part. I personally never got the hype around him but he started well for us.
 
I think he needs to be moved on too but I can't see it happening this summer.We're not going to sign 2 CBS to replace him and Rojo and Tojo deserves to go more.
 
How much could we get for him? He is still young,and if he can get past his injuries he still has talent
£4 mil by our past 'deals'. We only got £7 million for Hernandez in the same summer Sunderland are buying Borini for £10 mil.
 
Back in the squad for tonight's u-21 game.

I hope he stays far far away from the senior squad for a very long time.
 
7-9m (whatever it was) for Hernandez was ridiculous. I hate how much we get mugged off in the transfer market, even if we're alright financially.

I'd say Jones is worth about 6 or 7m. I think it's time he made a move. He's not even useful as backup with how often he's injured.

There always has to be a question mark over a player who would probably play exactly the same as they do if they were drunk.

:lol:
 
A combination of injuries and him being used as a utility player has completely wrecked his progression. I feel he could have been top class centre half otherwise.
 
In fully reformed, extended squad with greater depth he may have a slight chance in upcoming season but we could really take title race a bit more seriously. Not looking good for him. Needs a special training program or a football brain but mostly a titanium skeleton.

I'm guessing a little heartbreak for Fergie as he saw unlimited potential for a defender in this lad.

Fingers crossed he'll return to consistent football. Not much we can do for him if he can't go through short term physical pressure without a damage.
 
We should be able to fetch £15m for him easily

I'd like to think so, but no chance. 5m at most.

I wouldn't mind Jones as a squad man under Jose, who can put his arm around Jones and show him how to protect himself. He's still only 24. With TFM looking the real deal and Blind having done a very decent job, if Jones can turn the corner on fitness we can take a pass on purchasing a CB this summer and focus our transfer cash elsewhere.

The thing about Jones is that when he's fit enough to play 3-4 matches straight he's been fantastic. Do you we really want to give that away before we bring in Jose?

I don't know what kind of wages he is on but there is no point in selling him for a paltry 5-7m. Use him as a squad player and maybe invest in a top class CB. If that fails still Blind and TFM.
 
The contract he sign d last year is rumoured to be £80k a week.
 
Get him on a pay as you play contract. I think we should have done that with Rafael, this guy is no different. He's won trophies with us. He's played over 100 times for us. He's 24 years of age. Our squad is really small. If he can get over his injuries, he is a good squad member. What would be the point in giving him away for cheap? We were mugs regarding Hernandez and Rafael. These clubs don't do us any favors. We don't have the squad currently for him to be a problem and he's at an age where he can overcome these things. Smalling went through something very similar but touch wood, got over it. Jones is sometimes his own worst enemy but once he calms down, hopefully he will go on a run. I imagine many would have sold Robson for a fiver because he got lots of knocks too.

Not comparing them as players but Jones has had more then a few good games under his belt. Let's not be rash.

If a top class CB can be had, absolutely do it. I'd like to get Blind back into midfield, where his passing range in a 4231 can be used brilliantly.

Maybe when Mourinho comes in he can bring his skill at selling players you don't want for whopping fees with him!
As otherwise, in 1-2 years I could very easily see us selling Jones for £3m to Everton or Sunderland, as seems standard.
Then he'd go on to have 10 decent years for them
