and played 2 games in 3 years.Phil Jones is available on a free. Only 31. Premier league winner and England international.
He is called crazybladeWrong section. Should be in the " are you seroous?" section
I wasn’t being no. Sorry!Wrong section. Should be in the " are you seroous?" section
Then it's a no from me and also from Simon CowellI wasn’t being no. Sorry!
The level of disrespect to this bloke is unreal. The effect of ‘football Twitter’ is so strong they’ll have you believing a bloke that’s played for Man Utd for about ten years is shite. Look what’s happened to Harry Maguire. They’ve not had a holding midfielder for about 12 years and then every single central defender regardless of who they are can look like absolute shit. Maguire for example. He can be in the World Cup 11, euro 11, then turn into a conference player overnight? Varane? Multiple Champions league winner, goes to that mess that is Man Utd, turns into a shit defender? Fuck me! Perhaps the problem has been that club rather than these players.
Phil Jones is a very good footballer and would be a coup for us. Think about it objectively, pros and cons:
Pros:
Massively experienced
Free
Can play anywhere across the back 3, right back and could slide in at CDM (basham replacement?!)
Cons:
Injury record? If he can pass a rigorous fitness test? (Is the reason he hasn’t been playing for Man Utd his injuries or his status in the squad?)
Wages? (He will have to take a pay cut)
Pulls funny faces
Amazing people are turning their noses up at him when you think how hungry he will probably be to reinvent himself, at his age I reckon he’s got fucking loads to give.
IMO with our budget, needing cover at CB, be ideal signing frees in those places to focus any budget we have up top. I think a 3 year deal would be good if he can prove his fitness.
You're right he's a talented player. Three years ago I think I supported taking a punt on him. His career has been ruined by injuries though, it's hard to see a way back for him. On the rare occasions he managed to get on the pitch, OF COURSE he was way off the pace/ sharpness required.The level of disrespect to this bloke is unreal.

Jones was a fantastic prospect as a kid and got lauded as the next Duncan Edwards when moving to Man Utd due to his ability to excel in a variety of positions.Man Utd fan at work told me yday that Solskjaer gave him a £110k pw contract said before whilst grotesque I have no issue with elite players earning disgusting figures as commercially they worth it and if they don’t take that money someone else will but Phil Jones on £110k pw is just obscene. That’s the problem with football
Indeed. Ferguson said he could be Man Utds best ever player.Jones was a fantastic prospect as a kid and got lauded as the next Duncan Edwards when moving to Man Utd due to his ability to excel in a variety of positions.
No idea what's happened with him but it says it all to me that I'd be hugely disappointed if we signed him on a free and paid him 5k a week.
