"Manchester United? They had just signed Phil Jones in my position," Varane said.It was Varane own words
He was being compared to Duncan Edwards when he first joined us.What actually happened to him? It’s easy to forget he plays for us.
All jokes aside about his faces and injury record, he did show some real potential when he first joined. He was a big part of a title winning squad too. He now looks like a retired player coming back for a charity match whenever we’re desperate enough to select him
Being overacted there.It's crazy how Smalling was sent away and Jones got a big contract extension
Wouldnt be surprised if hes related to someone in the club and being protected.It's crazy how Smalling was sent away and Jones got a big contract extension
Jones contract got the option of a further year though, it's kinda like Mata's extension. (Probably, not 100% sure)Being overacted there.
Smalling also got an extension though. He was sent away probably because no one wants Jones, while there are clubs wanted Smalling.
Doesn't make any difference though. I thought it's an optional for the club to choose whether they will trigger the extension or no.Jones contract got the option of a further year though, it's kinda like Mata's extension. (Probably, not 100% sure)
When Jones was all over the places some fan praised him, only a few spotted the problem. For a good defender, you anticipate the problem, like VVD, not reactive to it. OK a few tackles and dive header will save you the day, but not every time, particularly when you create the problem in the 1st place.What actually happened to him?

Or everything isn't the coaching teams problem and sometimes players simply don't develop as they could have due to their own qualities or fitness issues. When Jones started his United career he appeared to be a real talent. He wasn't a lock in for any one position but he appeared to be capable of almost everything - still fondly remember his marauding runs into the opposition half leaving opponents in his wake. It's just that over time he couldn't take those developmental steps - consistency, defensive acumen, composure, specialisation etc the things you should be attaining as you get get older.When Jones was all over the places some fan praised him, only a few spotted the problem.

Back to your question. When Jones has such limitation, when he is unfit (i.e. split second slower), lacking confidence, it can only get worse, does it? So the question should be, what happened 6-8 years ago, did the coaching team fail to identify his deficiency, or too busy with something more important.
I thought he was the one with the option. Good to know!Doesn't make any difference though. I thought it's an optional for the club to choose whether they will trigger the extension or no.
I'd watch that Nutflix movie. But Bob himself should play the old lady
I haven’t laughed like that in ages so thankful to him for that right nowI'd watch that Nutflix movie. But Bob himself should play the old lady
He's clearly had plenty of bad luck but it's infuriating isn't it.Tweet

"Value", "long term plan", "he is good but only unlucky".....why do they keep renewing his contract?
i think the main reason the club are always willing to give players on the fringes new deals is just so they can sell for a fee and it gives the numbers a better look. I don’t see this approach as particularly beneficial in cases like this. The player is on very big wages in relation to his productivity and we have him in the shop window for years but he can’t stay fit. We should have just let him go on a free and he’d hopefully be able to find a good enough deal. The way things are now we are stuck with him more or less unless we pay his wages at another club or give him away for free. It doesn’t make any sense at this stage now reallywhy do they keep renewing his contract?
Yup I thought the same.I remember when Jones signed and had such huge potential. Among many other things, he looked like such a natural leader I thought he would become United and England captain for sure.
You really never can tell.
He has the right attitude. I just think his injury record hurt his development. Everyone makes mistakes, but Jones' tend to turn out costly and because of that he's become some what of a scapegoat (just like Young was). Hard to believe he's still only 28. He's been at the club for so long. But I think it's time for him to go and make way for Tuanzebe. As it stands now, including Smalling, we have way too many centre halves on the books with Jones, Smalling, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Lindeloff, Bailley and Rojo. That really is 3 more than we probably need...Jones should do a good job if he goes to somewhere like Westham or Newcastle. I like Jones. He gives all for the team. He never gets out of a tackle and he does put his head on the line. He is simply injury prone. He is never a fake. I really don't know the hate for Jones.
