where do you think phil jones will end up (position)?
putting our lack of decent/fit midfielders and full backs aside and just thinking about his best position, where will jones end up? he's not played much as a centre-half for us or for england, mainly as a full back or midfielder, but he's usually talked about as a centre-half first and foremost.

Phil Jones is the new Paul McGrath and will be one of Europe's top players, Wolves boss Mick McCarthy believes. McCarthy says he tipped Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson off about the former Blackburn man and was not surprised when he signed in the summer. "I said he was one of the top players - I sensed [Ferguson] already knew that, but I was offering my opinion," McCarthy said of the utility player. |

At CB for me. he brings some interesting traits to midfield, can go box to box, real physical presence, ability to make those surging runs with and without the ball. He could be a goal threat with late runs into the box as well. However he would need to improve his short passing and touch play to stay there long term.
There is also the issue that as he ages he will thicken. He is already a big lad as it is at 19, and in a midfield role it is harder to be as dynamic at his size. |

I think we should play him cente-half, anything to get Evans as far from getting a game as possible.
I think his best position is as a deep-lying defensive mid with a role of getting forward as and when it is possible, he is great with ball at feet so should capitalise on that when the situation arises One of the reasons to be cheerful in a horrible couple of months for MUFC Him and clevers I can see being a big hit together (should clevers ever puta run of games together that is) |

he can play defensive midfield or right back, but he should be centre back. however, when he has played there, he has been all over the £#%&!ing place. needs to learn some discipline as a centre back. fast, given where vidic lies and what the alternative is. but I would rather watch jones flounder a bit than that gormless @#%&! jonny £#%&!ing evans.

That was his best and most rounded game for Utd so far. Wolves never worked his touch in tight areas but he looked like a midfielder, not a defender playing out of position. |
