While Jones is. I know who I would prefer we keep..
That's fair from anyone who doesn't rate him, and even his biggest fans don't care if he is replaced by better players, but only after we have finished replacing options that are worse than him. We cannot sell him befire selling players who are far worse than him, and he is our most reliable CB for years now, it's ridiculous.
You would have something like 72.7% or 74.2% pass accuracy if you keep passing the ball to the opponent.
1) He can play football and has won trophies. Where are yours?
I agree. I might not rate him but right now he is the last CB we should be showing the door to.
Yep same old stuffThis is like when people wanted to get rid of the likes of Nani, Rafael, etc. before finding replacement, and then we replaced them with the likes of Memphis Depay and Darmian. Great times, just shows how fickle our fans(and our board) are. 5 years later, we still have worse options on the wing and fullback than Rafael and Nani. But as long as we got rid of them, eh?
Jones made it to the world cup should he get a new contract then? You dont think the fact that southgate prefers younger players might have something to do with it?
But do you at least think Emery would aspire to have a centre back like Smalling? Otherwise what point were you making that they would pay £120k/week to have him on their books?
That he's a better CB than any they have. So obviously he'd want to improve his defense. Its pretty simple
Ok well here's hoping you're right and they come in for him when we eventually try to shift him.
he isnt available hes our first choice CB
Erm get rid of the manager asap, sort the club out and then we would be able to make a decision either way come the summer? surely more logical... what if the next manager doesn't want him ala Southgate, or has his eyes set on bringing in a couple of CBs. This management debacle is causing unnecessary hassle in terms of not having a guiding authority who is best placed to make these calls with the long term in mind.
If the next manager doesnt want him at all then thats a bad sign that we havent improved on our current manager.
well pep let sanga, zableta, clincy, kolarov go on free in one summer and bought walker, mendy, danilo, and laporte the winter after. Last time I checked, it worked out pretty well.
He's a pretty good defender in the purity of the role, he's just not good enough or confident enough on the ball. That doesn't mean he's not a good enough defender, and in the right system he can be very, very good. IMO Southgate made the wrong call in leaving him out of the World Cup squad, he's always useful for defending leads and his height can be important when defending late on in games. At least he has strengths, unlike Cahill and Jones.
If you're new to how things work in this side of Manchester, we cannot do that.
We'd have to pay somebody to take him.
We've been shit for 5 years.
Yes and his annual budget is a blank chequebook. Things don’t work that way at United....
