Any chance we see him next to Lindelof against Leicester? He’s fit (for now) I think and I don’t think Ole trusts Bailly all that much.
Don’t think he’s played enough minutes yet
Phil Jones is going to come back as a DM into the squad and win us the champions league. You heard it here first.
Its been a long international break hasn't it?
Your username is equivalent to Phil Jones playing that role
Hey its Friday night, enjoy the beers
You can use cat diarrhoea as a nice little base gravy for most popular curries. You heard it here first.
As much as I think the Bailly-Lindelof partnership is a much tried and failed experiment, Jones has been out of action for so long that he'll probably need 2-3 reserve games at the very least just to get back with it.
We'll need to wrap Matic up in cotton wool between matches as he'll be indispensable without both Maguire and Varane. Let's see what Eric Ramsey has up his sleeve when it comes to defending set pieces.
Too bad we got dumped from the league cup. Pill Jones could habe got games.
Deserves a run of games over Maguire at this point!
No chance he plays the city game even with our defensive injury worries.
Which begs the question why the feck is he still here?
He's a charity case, pure and simple
You’ll see him go on Jan I feel. Hopefully permanently but probably a loan initially.
About time
He's going nowhere. I don't think anyone will touch him without an airtight pay-as-you-play contract and even if it's a loan, we'll be paying 90% of the wage.
I could see a lowly PL club take a risk on him

We'll probably end up giving him a new 3 year deal to up his sale value and end up not being able to find a buyer.
Lets hope so. Jones and Mata can both leave asap
Derby wants him.
Ole should have been sacked the moment he gave a yes to extending this joker's deal.
Never leave us Phil, your comeback is on. No club is as calamitous as us in every position you play, there will be plenty of chances.
Insane how many managers he's outlasted by now
Looking at how long he keeps the streak going

If he's still somewhat competent, I'd keep him for squad depth. Both Varane and Bailly are injury prone.
He has no value, why are are people so keen to "get rid"?
If he's worse than the reserves I could see the point in releasing him. But unless you've seen him in training and in the closed door games, you can't know.

He won't survive the next manager IMO. He could be gone next summer
If he is healthy and training well I would consider playing him ahead of Maguire at this point. Phil has made some dreadful mistakes in the past, but he's never come close to having a run of calamitous games as long as Harry is currently experiencing.
Knowing us i won't be too sure
We might see old phil back at it again though I thought we won't see him outside the league cup games but now seeing how varane is injured and baily will leave for afcon and we having shipped of tuanzabe we might need him to fill in at some point down the line
It’s amazing how many people keep saying this nonsense.
he was given a contract when he was a playing member of the first team and also in the England squad. So are you going to release him then? I think not. Common sense. if he doesn’t suit the team anymore you then sell or loan.
he then got his career threatening injury and couldn’t train or play for 18 months which brings us up to current state where he’s trying to get peak fitness.
13 clubs have enquired about him for January! Whether he’s fit enough is a different note. Id be tempted to loan out to get games into him
Expect him to play and captain the side tonight.
Yes, many didnt want him then as he was already very poor and injury prone. Was the perfect time to move on from him. English NT selections are absolutely woeful and random for years, it is no one to one depiction of ones ability. There are better center backs than Mings, yet he gets called up every single time. No one in the world rated Jones apart from United and England. He was a laughing stock at that time.
Hyperbole. He wasn’t a “laughing stock”. Why do some of you lot always have to exaggerate.
my point is we could have sold him. It’s nonsense to think we should just release him for free.
Just embarrassing.
Doubt it means much, he travelled to the european game and couldn't play as not registered.
Probably just need him around to clean boots at this point.
What is embarassing?
Wow, my initial response was a smile and an "amazing. good for you, Phil" and then I read your disaster of a post
Player in might play shocker......
