Phil has a huge task on his hands to get his starting position back. If im honest, I don't think he ever will now with the likes of Fosu, Tuanzebe and Williams all coming through.
Our very own Ledley King
Gutted that he is out again. But how on earth do you sustain another injury despite not playing a single minute of football?
Training.
Also, it'll be bloody tough to sell him if he has long left on his contract, people wondering why we havent so far should consider what we're paying him.
It's truly incredible. How does he keep doing such an array of injuries.
I think the time he got DVT said it all. Which footballers get that for frig sake!
Just when he might have got a game or 2 as well with the Europa/league cup starting
Joke of a footballer. To think I got heat in another thread for saying one of the worst things we've done in recent years is give this man a new 4 year contract.
SAF didn't sing his praises for nothing. Jones was very, very highly regarded. Don't be daft
He was very highly regarded and looked very promising when we signed him 5 years ago yeah.
But the last few years, even on the incredibly rare occasions he isn't injured he's not been impressive.
it is not even funny. he might be a good player but he is very unreliable. should be moved on.
King played frequently. He didnt train between games though.
King knew how to defend. Jones is all hype and facial expressions. If he was non British he would be hunted out of other like a dog
He is the new Diaby & Hargreaves
That's right I remember that. I guess his training was limited to cardio work on his own?
Clearly I was referring to his injury record.
Get rid asap

What's happened to bring about the bump?http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37393483
Is he getting injured while on the physio's table?
How on Earth is this guy injuring himself?

He's just moved Ashley Young into second place for players I'd forgotten were still at the club.
Shame for the lad, could and should have been more than he has been up to now.
Injured again!! 
He's had horrid luck with injuries.. Can't seem to get a run of games without getting injured.

It's the same injury isn't it?
Sounds like he's injured himself again, whilst already injured?

All I can imagine is that he keeps falling of it.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37393483

Apart from potentially being the best player ever for the club, he's nowhere near good enough for ledley king levels of patience.
At this point I doubt even Stoke would take him. We need Moysey to hold on till Christmas.
Poor guy (not really). Unfortunately, we need to sell him and move on.
If, and it's a big if, he can get fit for January, we should send him on loan as I doubt anyone will buy him until he's shown he can string a run of games together.
how must is he paid a week?
Glue
He can't though. He's already proven that. Even if he went 10 games without injury, you'd always know that another breakdown is not far away. It's crazy at his age but he's now entering the realms of a 'pay as you play' deal elsewhere if we were to move him on.
Shame how things have gone for him
Travellers yard. He's not even good when he's fit.
His goal against Shakhtar was a nice one. I think he defended against Cristiano Ronaldo pretty good, I think.
How anyone could still have any sortve hope that he'll make it here is beyond me. He gets injured without even playing any games, and then re-injures himself while recovering. We need to do anything we can to get rid and bring in someone who can at least manage to not get hurt while sitting on the sidelines.
Haha... straight down the keepers throat and still went in.
Citing two incidents from 2013 in his defence... that about sums Jones up.
Last time I saw him was towards the end of last season playing for the u21's against Chelsea, where he was nutmegged no less than 3 times in one 45min period. Out of breath, out of shape and out of ideas... those Chelsea kids had a field day against him. A humiliation of sorts.
Pretty good you think? Who's place would he take in the current XI and who would he push off the bench?
I'm not saying that he golden, but he does have his moments. RB is the only weak spot right now. If Jones is fit and if TFM performs like he did last time, I'd say it's fair to give Jones a chance to show what he can do, but without any promises.

Time to get rid.
Appalling injury record, and not very impressive when he does play.
