They won't be.
But who gives af about Jones or Rojo being happy?

On contract until June 2021...Who cares haha rojo out of contract soon.. Jones will be injured. Bailly out for ages. Tuanzebe could easily go on loan at christmas once bailly back
Bailly's injured, Rojo will likely be loaned/sold in the next few weeks.
Pecking order for the rest will be something like:
- Harry Maguire & Victor Lindelof (League)
- Axel Tuanzebe & Phil Jones (Europa & Cups)
- Chris Smalling (when Jones inevitably gets injured/injures someone else)
The worst part of that comment is in a double pivot he is probably one of our better optionsHave people not figured out that Jones will be a midfielder this year?
He barely played in pre-season and was an unused sub for the last couple of games. Don't know whether it is because the others needed more games but doesn't really bode well for him.Even though we are looking to play from the back which Smalling is awful at, I still think he will be 3rd choice myself and currently rightly so, I am hoping Tuanzabe can prove himself though, think on paper he is the best partner for Maguire by a mile but unproven or experienced as of yet

Well we often get carried away by preseason, especially with youngsters. I think the tween you embedded sums him up perfectly. He is a decent defender, that area of his game as improved during his time here and its those reasons alone I would put him third choice, currently anyway. Lindelof is bound to be second choice to start with, but I just wonder where the good centre back partnership is coming from and that is why I want Tuanzabe to succeed as he seems the best partner for all the other three above him to me, I dont see any of Lindelof/Maguire/Smalling working as a partnership, we know SMalling/Lindelof doesnt at any rate, hope I am wrong but concerns me Lindelof/MaguireHe barely played in pre-season and was an unused sub for the last couple of games.

Little discussion about him on the podcast. Do agree with you about if he is third choice it would be rightly so as despite his faults he has been one of our most reliable defenders in terms of fitness, though that isn't saying a lot with Rojo, Bailly and Jones who are medical marvels in terms of their injury-proneness. .
