I would like to see him in a race with Harry Maguire
Phil would leave him for dustI would like to see him in a race with Harry Maguire
Corrected that for you.Phil would crumble to dust
It is so long since SAF left now. Feels like he was around here only yesterday. 7 years since he left now.He'll have been with us a decade in June next year. Our longest serving non-homegrown player alongside Smalling, who has also been with us a decade.
Let that sink in.
He would manage to get them both injured before it is over.I would like to see him in a race with Harry Maguire
Crazy, I remember how excited everyone was when he first signed as a dominating CB then a marauding RB.It is so long since SAF left now. Feels like he was around here only yesterday. 7 years since he left now.
With Jones it doesn't feel that long since he has not played very much the last few years.

Are those 25 appearances including as subs? I think average of minutes played per season is a more accurate stats.Crazy, I remember how excited everyone was when he first signed as a dominating CB then a marauding RB.
Interestingly he has averaged 25 appearances a season for us over the nine years, which is surprisingly more than I thought.
Probably a better way to look at it is that we usually play 50+ games a season.Crazy, I remember how excited everyone was when he first signed as a dominating CB then a marauding RB.

I wonder how many of those are down to injury versus him being shit and not picked?Probably a better way to look at it is that we usually play 50+ games a season.
So he's missed 25 or more games every season for 9 years. That is incredible.
injuries for the vast majority.I wonder how many of those are down to injury versus him being shit and not picked?
I remember being completely and utterly bemused by the decision. He'd not even had a run of games or anything like that leading to the new contract I don't believe?Anyone else who were pissed the day they announced that United extended phil Jones's contract with 4+1 years and KNEW it was a shit move? I know i fecking did!
We'd be stupid not to contact them. £5 million would be fine. A bag of chips would be fine. Anything to get him away from here.So Fulham’s DOF has (rather stupidly) announced on twitter that they have missed out on 5 CB targets & are desperate for a couple of CBs.
Perhaps we can take advantage of this. Big Phil is a premier league winner & England international. He’d be a great fit for them! Get him in Fulham! £10m? Cheers. Full wages top of course.
He was rarely used before the contract offer, i remember hoping that the club would just let Jones leave on a free but with the incompetent people running the club, i was not surprised that this happened.I remember being completely and utterly bemused by the decision.

You know that's actually a great shout. Is Jones fit? It's super unlikely but if he could stay fit for the season he'd be a great pickup for Fulham. Even £2m would work for us simply to get him off the wage book since he's probably like 6th choice currently.So Fulham’s DOF has (rather stupidly) announced on twitter that they have missed out on 5 CB targets & are desperate for a couple of CBs.

Phil would obviously sprint ahead but suffer a really unlucky injury after 50 metres leaving Harry to jog past him slowly and winI would like to see him in a race with Harry Maguire
Yes, Harry would win that race handcuffed.Phil would obviously sprint ahead but suffer a really unlucky injury after 50 metres leaving Harry to jog past him slowly and win
He’d smash Maguire - always had pace.I would like to see him in a race with Harry Maguire
We should give them Rojo too. Buy one get one free. Two World Cup / Champions League experienced centre backs! Would be a coup for them.We'd be stupid not to contact them. £5 million would be fine. A bag of chips would be fine. Anything to get him away from here.
He’s a lot faster than Maguire. Jones isn’t slow, he’s just shit.I would like to see him in a race with Harry Maguire
But after all those injuries? He lost some pace, he looked slow when he did play last season. There is also the issues of finishing the race. Maguire might have a very slow acceleration but atleast he doesnt break down during his race. Phil Jones likely will get injured during the race.He’d smash Maguire - always had pace.
It is dreadful to be good enough to be a top level footballer who basically can never get near a pitch for more than a couple of weeks at a time.I feel a little for him, he's become a subject of ridicule from both united and opposition fans. I'm sure he doesnt want to get injured all the time and would rather be playing on the pitch. If we're looking to point fingers then look no further than our board and Ole for giving him that stupid contract extension!
It's him or De gea. But surely must be one of them.Is he now our longest serving player?
Yes. He edges out De Gea by a couple of weeks.Is he now our longest serving player?
