Fair fecks to you if never wrote of Evans, I'm sure you can agree, that most on here did.
And I couldn't care less about media hype, I'm in South Africa so I'm pretty numb to the English media. I form my own opinions on players. And Jones impressed me during the pre-Christmas stint. I can't be arsed to search for it now but you will find many posts raving about how good him and Smalling were at the start of the season, in particular Jones. And whilst you feel that saying he's 19 is irrelevant, well feck me, then I don't know. Not all players are absolute world beaters. As for having a different opinion to SAF, well that's your decision but whilst I have opinions, I've learnt that when it comes judging youngsters, SAF's not far off unlike me and other fickle football fans.
You've taken a serious dislike towards Jones for a slump in form after his great start. There's a reason we signed him 'early' as SAF said because other top sides were after him as well. That would mean all of these other top sides are all looney for rating him highly. Seriously mate, have your opinion, it is a forum after all but I'm not in the business of just slagging of our players willy nilly, especially when they're youngsters. I think he's got the potential to become an excellent CB and so do most people. But according to you he'll never make it at United...that's quite a bold and strong statement to make.
EDIT: oh and regarding good games he's had, well without doing an advanced search, I came across two games that he was in the top 3 for MoTM (Villa and Spurs) and one that he was MoTM (Spurs) in.
