Better players come and go but Phil Jones is still here somehow.

Two more years and he's eligible for club legend status!
Fergie would have gotten shot of him a long time ago. I know he said Jones would be the greatest ever United player or whatever but he also fiercely defended Veron but was quick to get rid when he know it wasn't going to work out.
He can still be sold to a domestic team right?
Phil Jones has just turned his phone back on after switching it off in June.
If they are in the championship or below yeah. He’s probably league 2 standard on a good day but somehow earns about 100k a week
Easy to forget he’s still at the club.
We could still need him this season. If he can find form and avoid injuries for a while he is a potential starter like he was under Mourinho and did well mostly.
Although under Ole and us right now they will all probably all look shit at the moment.

Is he fit or still injured?
Have a guess.
Last seen doing a photo shoot at a local hospital for a blockbuster movie, Keeping up with the Joneses 2.
Just release the always injured crock of shit.
Makes sense they said.

How's this useless buffoon survived another transfer window is beyond me 
I know he doesn't get injured on purpose but he pisses me off.
Haha.. say what you want about Phil Jones but that header at 3.17.. that is determination! Had me laughing with tears in my eyes.. I hope he comes back strong. It's not like the back line is irreplaceable.
Maguire with pace was what Jones should have been.
With Smalling leaving, he may be the best CB defensively we now have which is a sobering thought.
Yeah fecking right.
If I remember correctly, that header when he was on all fours did the trick and the attacker couldn't get his shot or cross properly.Haha.. say what you want about Phil Jones but that header at 3.17.. that is determination!

Report in the Sun says jones wants to quit united because he is not included in the squad.
Doesn't he have to be first fit to play before anything to do with selection?

This has still never been explained. It literally made zero sense.
We’re stocked on defenders, he’s shit and injury prone. He has no resale value and we’ve been trying to trim the squad yet this happened. I can only think he must be liked in the dressing room.
Now don't feck with my head like that, i though he signed a new one.
Excellent news and a shrewd move by the club. With only 3 years + 1 optional year left on his previous deal he was in serious danger of leaving the club sometime in the next decade. This move ensures that he's a mainstay at the heart of United's defence (treatment room) for years and years to come.
Just leave Phil, go away and never come back.
I didn't realise he was injured which explains his omission even more. But then again, it's Jones, I should have assumed by default
Any news is he back soon? Doesn't matter I guess since he is not in the squad for PL so will not even be on the bench.
Not for CL either so I think his best chance of playing is third round in the Fa cup if Tuanzebe and Bailly are out with injuries.
Think Ole said December
2020?
Haha
Real shame how his career turned out. Was excited when we signed him.
not that he was deserving of a space in the squad, but makes sense him not being there. He could always be added in January.
I think he can be added again in January/February for the second half of the season. I hope not, though.
I know people keep ribbing Fergie for comparing him to Duncan Edwards but I think he meant in terms of his tactical flexibility, that he could play in multiple positions. Yes Fergie thought highly of his talent but there was a time (a long, long time ago) when it looked like Phil Jones would turn out to be a good player.
Anyway, just terminate his contract and get Phil Jones out of this club.

Santa to deliver him back as a Christmas present. At least that's what Ole has told us
What kind of operation was it?
Ideally we will sell him or Rojo in January. So he either goes or stay and fight for his spot.
Instead of whom, I wonder?
Rojo?
