In fairness, it is probably 20 pages of them (rightly) laughing at us.

They still love Luis.
Most of 'em anyway, this is apart from those saying they do not care, obv.

I'd batter my child if he acted like Suarez does.
They're used to kids with ASBO's to be fair.
Damn it, how will we cope without Suarez......
Wait...... what?
Wait...... what?
Indeed.
must be some other 'Leading Manchester United forum', perhaps the imaginary one in their mind.All of their Manc supporting mates are members.
They're complaining that Vidic got a free ride over all the years fouling players and never getting booked for it. They must've been ignoring Skrtel last season.
Jones:
That's funny, but I actually did think at the time that we'd bought him ahead of schedule, so to speak, because it looked like someone else (likely Liverpool) would nab him if we waited too long.
It's now apparent that he could well have benefited from a year or two more at Blackburn, in my opinion.
If he'd shown what he's shown here at Liverpool instead, I wonder what the views on him on here would be.

I still laugh at the fact that United triggered Jones' release clause of £16.5m which enabled us to talk to him, but when Liverpool got wind of this, they offered Blackburn £22m to try and seal the deal.
Hilarious.
We couldn't; Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs had all officially bid for Jones at the time so we had to act quickly.
However, it does seem as though the early hype surrounding him was a bit much. Good squad player, versatile but not the player some expected.I still laugh at the fact that United triggered Jones' release clause of £16.5m which enabled us to talk to him, but when Liverpool got wind of this, they offered Blackburn £22m to try and seal the deal.

That's right. At the ripe old age of 22, while being the best centre back option for the biggest club in the world, his career is pretty much over. Might as well retire. #scouselogic
So, they can't compare their last season to this season, because Suarez is banned now anyways.
#ScouseLogic
Suarez
You are thinking of Varane, not Jones, and he is only 21,fwiw.
Varane does not play for Manchester United. #scouselogic
You're right, of course. Jones has lived up to the hype. His trajectory looks incredibly promising.
Carragher, Hyypia, Agger to name three who are better.
Carragher? Are you on a wum? He's no better than Tyler Blackett already is.
Okaaaaaayyyyyy....
Obvious wum is obvious.
Tbf Jones has rather been disappointing ever since he came here. He is just 22 but in 3 years he has been here, there hasn't been the kind of improvement you would want to see in a player in their development phase. Jones playing at 3 positions and not in one role with regularity clearly hampered his development. Right now he doesn't look assuring as a central defender and he doesn't inspire confidence when playing there. He has all the tools necessary to become a top centre back but he has to really apply himself if he wants to make it here.
However, Smalling looks like he could be the better centre-back in the near future with his astute tackling, strength, pace and reading of the game. However, he too lacks the commanding nature that most top centre backs have. He does look a bit reserved and 'in his shell' at the moment and hopefully with a regular run in at the centre of defence he can become a top centre back that he always looked like he was going to be. Jones is just 22 and Smalling is still rather young for a centre back and we should stick with them because they have what it takes to make it here.

Both are young, strong, quick centre halves who have spent most of their time at the club playing out of position. Along with Evans they will be mainstays in the United back line for years to come. Hopefully Rojo too, but I haven't seen enough of him yet to judge.
The comments on Jones are ridiculous. He's still incredibly young, would be in any position but especially for a CB, and has been moved around in 3 different positions, which is very rarely asked from such a young player. That he's been able to have that level of adaptability so far is pretty good, whichever way you look at it.
To know whether his hype was deserved, we'll probably have to wait at least 5 years. It's seriously stupid to draw any conclusions on Jones at this stage.

I know I'd rather have Jones at centre back than any of Liverpool's 4 centre backs (except possibly Lovren).
Probably says more about Liverpool's centre backs than Jones current level, to be honest.
