Makes sense. We signed him with no transfer fee.

Buying from PL clubs is extortionate, he'd never provide enough value to be worth the money Everton would want for him.
Are you serious? HOW can you defend a player like Jones like that is beyond Madness. He’s done nothing for this club last 4 seasons. Jones is making a living for doing nothing! And makes huge money from our club! I know it isnt his fault but he dosent seem to have any shame in him for taking MILLIONS out of the club every year.
Jones dont deserve any praise.
And what disrespect? I am the one talking sense here. Why do you think no club wants to pay for him? Because his demands are way too high for a lower league club.

To be fair, that was his personal opinion, not a transfer report. He's Tweeting that out like any other normal person would. At the end of the day, he can use Twitter for personal reasons along with professional ones.
If he goes, he will go to a club to play as first goalkeeper right? So 90k £ not that much? Right? (Prob bepends on the name of thw club. Sell him to Chelsea.) Unless our business God wants 50m £ for him so everyone can say how brilliant he is at selling.
50k or 60k I believe.
Big fan of your work Ed.
League 1!
He is no where near that level at all!
As other posters have pointed out that he is a Top 10 PL at least
Really? I thought Chelsea had about 60 players out on loan some of whom had been with them years and never played a game.
a) you can pretty much ignore the opinion of anyone saying Chelsea would or will challenge
b) why would rumours about two guys who have near a handful of guys ahead of them in the pecking order leaving a club with a squad that needs trimming cause dressing room unrest?
That is a business model, not a bunch of players signed for the first team that turned out to not be good enough.
Romero is on 70K (pounds) per week....

Jones should have been sold years ago, he is only here because of the incompetence of the board.
The amount we're paying each week for keepers now is insane.
Talking about keepers, is Lee Grant still at the club?
He is, yeah. He appeared in our pre-season match against Villa as a sub.
Cracking interview with Dawson on United Peoples TV,very refreshing to hear a journo drag out how poor Utd are at doing deals
I can’t take you serious anymore. What other posters thinks that Jones is a Top 10 PL CB except you? Worst thing I’ve read on here ever
Did not know that, haven't seen the game. So how many keepers we have in the first team, 4?
Actually the championship and lower leagues are much more physically demanding than the PL. So yeah I agree he is no where near that level.
Are you serious???? He has no shame. What a terrible comment!!!!
What should he have done??? Turned down the contract we offered him? Asked for a transfer.
Crap post. Crap opinion.
It’s not really a good one though if it is. Most of them never play a game and achieve very little in the transfer market.
Either way I wouldn’t say it was consistent with a ruthless transfer strategy, more being bankrolled by an oligarch.
Gentleman, this is Transfer thread, not Phil Duncan Jones one. Please..
Basically, though Grant very rarely gets involved, and Romero is for sale.

Surely he meant capable of playing for a top 10 premier club.
Something tells me we're going to sign a couple of players in the next week and it will be two we never heard about or were linked to a year ago with a small mention in twitterverse.
or, we won't sign anyone.
or, we won't sign anyone.
I keep repeating myself with this caveat, but if he could get some luck with injuries and get a run of games in a team like Burnley, or Fulham etc, Phil Jones would be excellent. He 100% has the ability to be a damn good premier league defender. A few years ago I think, under Jose, he had a run of games and was outstanding.I can’t take you serious anymore.

At a team like that where all they want is back to the walls defending and aren't on his back because he isn't Beckenbaur, I am confident he would excel and the team/fans would love him. I swear just look at Johnny Evans, it would be the exact same.
He just needs some luck with injuries.
Hes brilliant though. If the fee was reasonable 40-50m we should be all over it. Best LB in the league after the guy at Pool
Yeah I think this is more likely than anything else.
There is definitely no interest from me either.
I'd bet there would be interest though if we didn't pay them wages most teams cannot afford or we were offering a transfer fee that reflected those wages.

Literally on the previous page.....
Yes
He'd cost more than that, we're hesitant to pay half of that price for Telles already, Digne would be well north of £50m. He's got 3 years left on his contract, their owners are wealthy, Everton have no need to sell and we've not left them a lot of time to get a replacement in.
Isn’t Digne a little bit shite as well? Shaw is a much better player if fit
Quite a few fees in there i don’tbelieve. For example i find it very hard to believe Mata got renewed at 160k. Hemight havehad that in his previous contract, but no way he has that now. I’d guess he’s at around 80k now.
On the flip side, McTominays new contract is at 20k/week. If thats the case i volunteer to be his new agent....
We saw the info about 65k for Brandon Williams - it’s unlikely McTominay is on such peanuts then...
But his injury issues likely won't ever go away and it's these type of players that are very prone to finding themselves slipping down to a league like league 1, his best bet would be to cut his wage demands and try and to find a club in italy to take him on because in serie a it seems like many of the clubs can work wonders with players shaking off past injury problems and thrive in their later years there.
He was a free transfer so it's possible.
Fecking fantastic. Skint Tottenham are going for another player. While we have Homer Simpson involved in Manchester United's transfers.
I can't believe Spurs have the money to spend this summer despite the pandemic and having just finished building a new stadium. I'd love to see what kind of accounting magic they utilize to pull it off.
Every day seems to tick by and still, nobody arrives and nobody leaves.
