For all we know, that may well be part of his contract.

No wonder he's always injured. The cnut must be in his 70s now.
A normal workplace where an employee cannot perform his/her duties because they are injured ON the work because of the work.
300+ plus days of sickpay..
Where can I get into a Union that good..

It's not his fault that he's always hurt, aside from the way he carelessly throws himself around.
I blame the club for sticking with this no-show, it just smacks of Anderson.

Must be a part of the medical staff by now.. Let's hope he helps Bailly reach full fitness soon.
I'm fairly certain our annual reports say we have insurance against long-term injuries. Since we're a public company, it has to contain a lot of information.
It's such a boring read though, so I'm reluctant to double-check.

Jones needs to be cut loose.
Hope to see him sold in the summer or better yet,in January

It was ridiculous how long Anderson was kept at the club. Too many wasters have been allowed to earn a living at our club without being anywhere near good enough, with him being the worst of the bunch. It always annoyed me how fans would laugh it off because he'd do stupid dances and act the clown, as if it was acceptable for the fat sod to make millions being a jester. He wouldn't have been tolerated at any other big club, and neither would Jones.
That's blatantly not true. Loads of examples of injury prone players at big clubs. Diaby didn't play for about 3 years at Arsenal
Why we didnt sell him last summer is beyond me. He will never realize his potential at OT.
To clear up any confusion. He posted it on his website in February this year.

We really dodged a bullet on this one and Smalling too.
If Stoke really wanted then we were silly to keep him. Even when fit, which never seems to be the case, he isn't good enough.
Why Smalling?
Just remember that when we do sell him, his injury record will drive his price way down. Not that it really matters, but inevitably when we sell him for less than 10mil there will be complaints about how he should not have been sold for anything less than 20mil.
I suppose it's possible mate we don't know either way, but i imagine if he did agree to a contract like that he would have wanted the news to get into the media so if he does suffer more injuries (which he did) people would be more sympathetic to him.
Giving him a new deal was a ludicrous decision.
I think he's a Tottenham-level player. Not top-drawer but still decent...kind of a Michael Dawson sort.
To be fair, most jobs don't have a high risk of occupational injuries which completely stop you working.
That's why he should have been sold at least 2 years ago. I think we give players way too much time and then sell them for nothing. Look at Chelsea, they constantly get good prices for their players because they know when to sell them and usually Chelsea get their money back for flops. It's clear as day Jones will not gonna make it here (and not only because of his injuries as he is simply not good enough) but we extended his contract instead of selling him...
This is funny. Spurs have 3 better centre backs than any we have!! Spurs level, sure........
So what?
Phil Jones is the subject of internet memes so he's considered uncool. It's a trend that's repeated over and over again with different players.
The converse is that someone like Blind makes more errors than Jones ever did, but he's got incredible hair so all is forgiven.
Online mob mentality has made things worse than they used to be.
Glad he ignored that easily outraged twitter army.
Maybe, though I'd imagine he's still getting a guarantee of a certain amount each week and rest might be pay as you play.
No way he was going to let Bailly out-do him.
I thought we needed a fourth CB in the Summer with Rojo and Jones basically being lost causes.
We can't be running a football club based on blind optimism.Keeping Jones here any longer is basically that.
That contract Van Gaal have him will be a noose around our necks though.

when was the last time he played for us? feels like it's been well over a year even though it might not be that distant.
I think he's going to retire soon this injury thing is beyond ridiculous he's done something new to himself every week.
He will end up tripping over a hospital trolley and go careering out of a fecking window
not as Ludicrous as eating Tobleron.
Jesus, I remember when we signed him and Smalling. I thought we had the future English first team centre backs combo sorted for the next 10 years.
How about those of us that lived through Munich? Do you mind if it offends or outrages us?
Me to. Remember those runs he use to make from the midfield into the box? What a shame.
Haven't you heard? Rojo finally had one half decent game last night and is now a good option.
