Phil Jones

99’ers twici begins. 15 for the lump, 12 for Rojo, 12 for Darmian, 20 for Bailly in the Winter window. 60m for the dross makes the 80 seem palatable, and we have a rotation of Lind, Mag, Tuan and Mike. That’ll do pig..

Work with a girl who is best mates with Jones mrs and she confirms he’s off to Newcastle.

Dont care if he ends up in the tyne. £#%&! off

Should at least be as part of the Longstaff deal.

Will end up hitting a horse or whatever the geordies do.

£15m would be a £#%&!ing bargain btw.

What luck. Maybe we could get 13.5

I'd be delighted if this oaf £#%&!ed off but it shows how the club is run when a bloke who averaged less than 20 matches a season since 2011 get's a 4 year contract extension while we have a temporary manager only to be the first defender out of the door in the subsequent transfer window.

A totem of our decline.

Delight when he leaves.

It was the very reason they did this you clown. To preserve his value.

This is always mentioned, but can someone explain how it works how does giving him a new contract make a player worth more or preserve his value, surely it puts clubs off if he is on stupid wages?

It does increase the value, but really only for players that are in demand. If a team wants to sign a player with only a year or two left on their contract, and the player is up for the move, then the selling club is under pressure to sell, as he would be worth less with only a year left on the contract (with the threat of leaving on a free when the contract is up), and then available on a free once the contract is up.

If the player has 4 years left on the contract then the selling club can take the stance of 'pay up or £#%&! off, the player is contracted for 4 more years, we have no need to sell.'

Of course that only works if the player is in high demand from another club, or if the club who are selling don't want to let him go. Neither is the case with Jones. In fact clubs will probably know we want to offload the @#%&!, the length of his contract will probably work against us a bit.

It can increase the value, but not in the case of Jones imo.

You're actually right tbf as much as we're sick of the lumbering @#%&!, in todays market it's a bit of a steal.


But we simply have to get rid.

wow. can't see quaders taking this lying down.

From what I've seen if Longstaff I really like the look of him.

Seems to have a great mixture of passing range, press resistance, strength and mobility.

Like a less two footed but stronger
Carrick.

As has been mentioned should try and make him part of the Jones deal.

Don't go in for the thesis you can't get an idea of a player by watching some YouTube footage.

For example no YouTube videos of Lingard will show Lingard as a great dribbler as he simply isn't one.
