So let me get this right, a week or two ago Tickles posted a Twitter link for us all to follow, and it turns out to be Tickles himself attempting, and massively failing, to be humorous. Then when not enough of us have clicked on the link and followed he's taken to copying & pasting the unhumorous bollocks in here anyway. Have I got that right?
http://www1.skysports.com/football/...uch-is-open-minded-over-his-Stoke-City-future Would we go for him? If he's "Open-minded" on his Stoke future. The lad can get goals.
His wages would be an issue, but he would fit right into this team with the service of Brady,Figueroa and elmo.
After Stoke paid £8m for him 3 years ago, I'd have thought the fee would be higher. Mind you, he only made 10 starts last season and scored 3 goals. He was pretty good for Southampton back in the day, but I don't know what he'd be like now. For that price I'd take him, but I doubt it'd be that easy.
If Jones played with a tenth of the determination of a Whitehurst then he would be in any of the top teams wish list. He is a bit of a wet blanket though from what i've seen
Heck of a good price - where did you hear this? The Sun (although it's sports reporters aren't great) states Yannick Sagbo isn't £3million and is in fact £750k too.
I got an email earlier saying we're in for Jones at around £700k - £850k. So the £750k is probably right. Great price for a decent enough player.
