Sheva. 5,373 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Some funny transfer threads... was Welbeck before, now Jones. Soon it will be Buttner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Alex Ferguson has completely mismanaged Phil Jones, moving him all across the pitch when he should've let him develop at CB. He could've been a top CB by now but as I said before he's been mismanaged.I wouldn't put him in the same boat as Smalling or Cleverley at all, far more talented than both put together I think. We don't need a CB right now so this would not really be a good transfer but I still think he's a very good player with a high ceiling.To be honest I like him in the DM role.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Great prospect, but a bit like Luiz, which might make him tricky to use - esp in Jose's system. Prob safest in RB though.I am a firm believer that you buy talent when you are convinced talent is there. And you ought to pull the trigger before others see the same as you do. Finally, the best time to buy is actually when such player is in poor form, most likely due to his side being in terrible form - not after his side wins the CL... (hypothetically speaking of course ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike 373 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Phil Jones is going to be England's/United's next captain....I would take Jones without hesitation. His versatility is great and he is a great example of a Mourinho player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdog 2,084 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 We just saw Old Man Eto'o eat this guy up. CFC plays against the Best forwards on the planet & you want to give this guy some run? People Jones might be good when you press your buttons on FIFA but in real life this guy has Sunderland, Villa or whatever mid-table side you like written all over him.

DanishBlue 426 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I always thought Jones was a very good player. Not that I want us to buy him though, but I think it's wrong to compared him to Smalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 He is bit better than what people think here, Im sure he will eventualy get into United CB spot on regular basis (and probably england NT too), but in no way I want him here. If we are to buy another CB, go for Varane or sth, but another CB is not even required here right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Why do people feel the need to post transfer rumor by lol worthy and unreliable sources like caughtoffside,tribalfootball et al and worst of all without any quote to give the rumor any credibility. there actually use to be a time when the posting of rumors from these sources were prohibited on this forum.

Totally different individuals.My point was Cahill was 27 when we signed him and he really rose to establish himself around then at Bolton. Jones has been mishandled at United but to write him off at 22 because he's had a nightmare season is just wrong.. But he's still got plenty of potential and talent that can be utilised.

But he's still got plenty of potential and talent that can be utilised.Thanks for correcting me about Cahill. Bolton, Blackburn it's all the same to me. However Cahill & Jones aren't the same to me. Cahill proved himself to be an outstanding player that wanted to goto the next level. I don't see the same from Jones. Again you can keep Phil Jones on your FIFA 14 Ultimate Team. I don't want him on the Real Chelsea Football Club. I rather see Kalas, Chabolah or Omeruo developed & play for CFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Again you can keep Phil Jones on your FIFA 14 Ultimate Team I don't want Phil Jones here, but to say that anyway that's saying he's a good player should stick to FIFA is a bit ludicrous. The Cahill comparison isn't really that off either because both were players who were ready to make the next step - difference with Cahill is that he's been managed properly (especially under Mou) whilst Jones hasn't. Jones is only 22 though so has plenty of time on his side. Regardless, this is not me making a case for wanting him here. You're right in saying that I'd also rather see our crop of CBs develop - doesn't mean you can't appreciate a good player when you see one though.

In fact I will proudly wear the Phil Jones Hater Badge. Don't like. Never liked him & he hasn't showed me a reason why I should like him. Because of his failures @ manure he doesn't deserve a spot on CFC. Again, let him go to Bolton, Blackburn, Sunderland, whatever mid-table side & prove himself. He hasn't proved to me that he is CFC material. This is my opinion & like everyone's else opinions they stink like buttholes, but everyone has one.
