Yeah he needed surgery on it before last summer which probably put clubs off

Training on his own, it seems. I think we all thank God for that. It would be the most Phil Jones thing of all time to spend the entire season injured, come back into training for the final 6/7 weeks and injure a key player before the Europa League semifinal/potential final.
Definitely has that cheeky wee one in his playbook, I feel.

It’s all quite sad I think. He had some great times with club but now is a running joke
Would be absolutely delighted if he finds fitness and a new club and proves his worth again

So he must have done some serious damage to be out this long. I know he's injury prone but has he ever been out for this period of time?
It's the one constant in the post SAF years where we have had 4 managers and a ton of players in and out, Phil Jones is still here injured all the time.
Why are we using this picture for his thread? it is a bit disrespectful. I can understand other fans mocking him for the facial expressions, but why we united fans?
I wouldn't go to it. Even if it was on the cards.
It would be a cringe fest. Hes not got a playing legacy to celebrate. He'd be out injured anyway
The man, the legend. Let's take a moment to remind ourselves
Enjoy the saturday lads
I really hope Phil revives his career at another premier league club.
How is this thread 11 pages long?
What is the day in the like of Phil Jones is like? Not played for nearly two seasons and not much the previous 8 seasons.
I thought someone actually had any injury news.
Is there a chance he is back before this season ends? Not that it going to matter much at all, but would be nice to see him playing.
Of course it might be a crap game that just wish we had sold him long ago.
And yes no way he should get any Europa league minutes anyway unless Maguire and Lindelöf both get injured.

A loan in Jan would have suited him, even if it meant dropping down a league. I'm sure Rooney could have used him at Derby?
There is, he's injured.
Just done some digging. He signed a new contract in Feb 2019.
Since then he's played 22 matches. Two of those as a sub with 1' and 2' respectively. So, basically 20 matches.
Edit: 2 matches he was taken off at HT. So there is another match off the tally. 19.

I can't even remember how he looks like now as it is so long I saw him play or even a current picture.
That’s honestly about 15 more than I would have guessed. And about 22 more than it should have been.
If there's any team interested in Jones this summer we probably won't be looking for any fee, he has a contract until 2023 and hasn't played for who knows how long. Getting him off the wage bill would be enough. Shame for him, had so many injuries but there's still time for a fresh new start at some other club, he's 29 so not that old yet, especially for a centre-back.
That's around 78 in Phil Jones years.
surely someone would take him on a pay-as-you-play loan deal? Would love to see him get some game time at a club like Norwich or one that’s getting promoted.
You know they would though and end up scuppering the move somehow.
What injury does he have?
has he lost a limb and theyre waiting for some cutting edge science to grow a new one?

Imagine he plays his first game of the season in the final and has a blinder?
He's the hero we need but maybe not the one we deserve.

Two league games in two seasons.
What a life this dude has had... Sitting on his ass getting paid thousands for it. 
Still better than Bailly
How to handle Jones, is Ole's first real test.
Is he back?
Think of all the donkeys we could have sponsored instead of this oneWhat a life this dude has had... Sitting on his ass getting paid thousands for it.
Starting today if the leaked team is to be believed
Hope he does well if its true. Obviously its time for him to move on, but he also doesn't deserve the disrespect he's had from the fans due to his injuries and rustiness when he's returned.
Biggest comeback since Jesus - I'd absolutely love it for him to turn it around, and have a good few years with us even as a rotational option in the squad.
He reminds me of myself, I'm all heart on the pitch but a shitty defender as well.
Come on Phil!
The beast is back
Really happy for him.
Amen. Feels like I've said this for years now but really hope this is his last game for us.
Beast contained.
Would’ve been nice for him to get one last game. I find it hard to dislike Jones.
