Guess Fergie does think of him as Duncan Edwards reincarnated.
Phil Jones
- Thread starter Baby Faced Assassin
- Start date
He's going to be an immense CB. Great praise from Fergie.
Ferguson has gone full-blown muppet on us.
He loves Jones, doesn't he? Lofty praise indeed.

Shit Phil, no pressure son

I always thought Fergie loved the lad but ... fecking hell.
High hopes or what from Fergie?
He's developing into something very good, very quickly. But that's pushing it a bit.

Ffs Fergie 
He'll be campaigning to have him canonised next season.

What a fecking player, was a beast today!!!! Yeah!!! What a man!
The way he composed himself today was absoltuely incredible.

Wait, does this mean Jones in midfield next year, damn you Frogie.
He gave Welbeck huge praise a few years ago when it seemed a bit silly and he took that in his stride and seemed to revel in it.
That comment was for phil jones alone.
He can become a fantastic player for us.

Only for the fact RVP scored a hat trick tonight, he was my man of the match.
He's an excellent prospectto be honest. To be as good as he is at his age is scary. Hopefully he'll get to continue in the middle.
fecking hell
Gotta say, tonight he was outstanding against Benteke. He's going to be a world class centre back for years to come. Any doubt I had over his ability in the centre has been wiped away with every performance this season.

Capello called him 'Baresi' and then Fergie says that... if this guy doesn't end up like Duncan Edwards meets Bobby Moore, he's a failure.
I know John terry is not popular and so many non Chelsea fans seem to not give him credit for his peak years.
When jones plays in the centre he is like terry version 2. For me this is a very good thing.

I remember when we signed him.. Nev kept saying he was 'Gold'
Everyone rates him very highly.

WooWW. Big statement on him by Fegie! However you can see where he's coming from.
Jesus, no pressure mate
Obviously caught up in the moment. We were playing Aston Villa who are 17th. Played great though.

Like I said. Fergie said Welbeck would be a future England starter. It seemed ridiculous.
That comment from Fergie will mean the world to phil jones.
Thats a huge compliment from the gaffer. Best ever player potentially?
Spot on.
Great man-management once again by Fergie. He really does inspire the players to get the best out of their abilities.
Imagine Phil's face when he heard that!
When exactly did it look ridiculous?
Given Welbeck's talent and England's lack of quality strikers besides Rooney, chance were always pretty good.
Does SAF think Phil Jones is Scottish?
Aye true but he's played very well in the games he's played over the past few months. Just needs to shake off these nibbling injuries he seems to pick up, a full season at anywhere near the form he's shown in the past 2 month and he's a contender for player of the year.
Where can I see that interview?
Hey, Phil, guess what Fergie just said....
And I dont think he is a liability any more playing at centre back. I am fully confident he can get the job done now no matter who he plays against. He has matured over the last 12 months, grown stronger, better header of the ball and has generally become a better defender.
He said it before his loan move to Sunderland.
Phil Jones v Varane thread is needed.. in a few years
Hey, Phil, guess what Fergie just said....
Bet it was easy finding a picture, he makes the most ridiculous faces.He is incredibly good all ready. What a performance again tonight.
There was another phil jones special face tonight. Bentekeke took a close shot and you could just see Phil's face, anyone have the pic?
We need to blood him more at CB.
yeah the regular 2-4 week injuries he gets are hugely annoying. Promisingly none of our players seemed to get injured in this last month or so? Well except Young. Hopefully means our injury 'luck' is now over and returns to normal levels.
Brilliant tonight and it was clear to see why he should play as a CB
He said Welbeck would get into the 2010 World Cup squad IIRC.
