Was just looking on Wiki at our transfer business and had to double take - did I miss something or did we really sell Jones to Boro for 3m? I checked and it does look like that was reported at the time, but that feels much higher than I thought it was? Close to 5m for Jones and Alzate was actually quite good business in the summer.
He’s a solid and proven championship centre half, at a very good age, who’s proven his worth by going on to be a mainstay in the leagues best defence, at least until his injury around Christmas time. I always felt he was very underrated here and £3m was a fair price all day long. A rare bit of great business for both clubs, we got a solid fee for a player in a position which we are stacked with quality and they’ve got a really good dependable player.
