Not sure what point it is i've made thats BS as i was mostly agreeing with your post lol.
But i ask myself the bolded part also, Rashford has pretty much replaced Young. We have Williams and Tuanzabe who could step up an replace Jones and to be honest i don't think i want us to ever have another Fellaini type player.
Sessegnon the guy who played for Sunderland?
Here's a little ditty for Phil
"Phil jones is a bag of bones, sailing down the river, a big fish come and bit his bum and made his willy shiver!!!"
Oh right hadn't heard of him, probably due to his age. At 16 he's more one for the future than an option for next season though.

He'll probably be back next year.
Oh, do piss off, you massive waste of spunk. Time to sell him to Stoke or something. He's never proven to be even close to good enough to justify the amount of allowances we have to make for him.
Hopefully we've seen him play his last game for us...
I've never seen you so emotional.
Harsh
Tbf, Smalling was mentioned in the same sentence (unlike this tweet) with Jones... It's harsh if only Jones getting this criticism where Smalling was the one who injured him this time, got off the hook...
He's reckless. You can attribute part of it to bad luck like a Saha or Hargreaves but the way he seems to throw himself around in training and in games clearly suggests there's more to it than meets the eye. Was this his longest period being injury free? I thought he'd turned a corner when he started developing that partnership with Rojo.
Won't be missed either way, he hardly plays anyway. Would do well at a club like Sunderland.

Give me a chance to copy and paste my post into the Smalling thread, will you?
'Long-term carthorse'
Taking the piss now. We've sold better defenders than him. His injury rate makes it even more absurd we haven't moved him on.

Feels like that's it for Jones at United.
Smalling injured him this time. And it's quite weird that Smalling & Jones more often than not swapping place with injury. I meant Smalling out injured = Jones stayed injury free. As soon as Smalling got back to fitness, Jones started to pick up injuries again. This had happened in the past too.
If that boy was a race horse...
As they seem to share one place in the team, maybe they can therefore share a wage and we can use the other wage to pay someone who will stay fit.
I wouldn't wish that on him
Only if the insurance company let us share their coverage...
Has to be sold in the Summer.
His injury record is absolutely appalling. Not only is he always picking up injuries but they're never 1 or 2 week absences, they're always serious. He bruised his foot against Hull and missed a month .
I don't even rate him highly when he does manage to play either to be honest. He's been here now 6 years and I don't think he's improved one bit since then. He's still just a rash injury prone decent at best centre back.

Not sure he'd do well at Sunderland, he'd still get injured all the time.
No point with Jones or Smalling anymore.
2 sick notes who have barely improved and the both of them seems to be made of glass.
Wouldnt mind seeing either being sold in the summer but Jones should be first out the door imo.

If he's out for the season then that really should signal the end of his time here. Enough is enough, unlucky or not he's just taking up space and wages at this point and can't be relied upon.
Sell
I can't believe people actually thought this might not happen
Long term toe-injury?
Damn you Smalling.
How many games has he actually managed to play for United?
Both were shit anyway, i take this as a positive knowing both will be gone in the summer.
He didn't play any football from January 2016 to November 2016.
Then he had 2 and a half months of injury free football where he formed a nice partnership with Rojo and played well, got injured against Hull, missed another month, came back in March for 4 or 5 games and was absolute shite, and then injures his toe and misses the rest of the season.
Is there anyone on the cafe who can make a reasonable argument for not getting rid?

Homegrown quota & he's insured. Would be more costly buying an homegrown now paying higher wage, than just pay his wage & collect insurance money....
Just sell him for the love of god. It's like Anderson - we all waited years and years to actually stay fit and show us what he's about. Jones is the same type of player. Always injured. And when he isn't, he is falling over himself or giving away penalties.
West Brom kind of player, not Man Utd quality.

I swear I've seen this posted (not necessarily by your good self) after his last 12 injuries.
Just put the bloke down.
We have a ruthless manager in charge now though. David and Louie kept dross around for too long, as did SAF in his final years.
Think comparing him to Duncan Edwards was premature to say the least.
Some of the posts in here are pathetic, all the toys being thrown out of the pram today. Youse knew they were injured and would be out for a while. I'm sure there will be changes in the summer, they never chose to miss the most important part of the season.
England will be paying his wages for the next few months
Buy a top CB and promote Tuanzebe. Tired of this shite. Down to the bare bones again.
both Jones and Smalling should not be considered starters for United going forward, Jones should start paying for his own treatment must of cost us half of the Chevrolet deal by now ffs
