    Phil Jones joined us from Blackburn for 16.5 million pounds, i seem to remember the deal taking ages to complete due to the release clause, add to the fact there were a lot of clubs in for him like Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool as well. He's had his fair share of injuries while he's been with us but he's been a big game player for us, he's not let us down, i can see him being our captain in the 2-3 years in my opinion.

    On the very same day children were born and people died, lots of people went to opticians, doctors and dentists and many had fish and chips.
    I'm sure many people remember that day well matth.<ok>

    I always thought Jones would become a top quality centre half but he's been ****ed around with at United by being played in midfield and at right back. He's only 22 mind you so United need to keep him at centre half and bring someone in who can do the job beside him.

    You would. A turd with a Manchester United crest scraped into it is worth £5m in your world and should be in the England team over Henderson.

    Well, you would. So far he has been nowhere near worth that amount.

    You would say that being a QPR fan, Jones was class for us in his debut season for the club.

    Being a QPR fan makes me neutral whereas you're totally deluded and **** over Fabio's panini sticker. Jones has at no point been class- he's a good centre-half, an average midfield player and a poor full-back. If given a long run at centre-half he might just about one day look like a player worthy of such a fee if he can stay free of injuries and improve considerably.

    He's better than Mertesacker.

    Matth, just think before you type. Every time you've watched Phil Jones, you think he's been class?

    He definitely ****ing isn't.

    Deluded on both counts. He's struggled to get in the United team over a crocked and past it Ferdinand and Vidic who has been on his way for months. ****ing Smalling is on a par with him and Evans is better.

    If ever there was an argument for Matth actually being a normal person orchestrating an incredible wum, this is it.

    He bloody is, he has more pace than Mertesacker, that's why Wenger wanted to sign Jones.
