Phil Jones - Blackburn

I really like the look of this kid. Could have a very big future.

 

Yeah from little bit of the game i watched last night he seemed to have a stormer. Think i read Arsenal had an interest in him.

 

Kenny and Comolli at the game last night, anyone else they could have been looking at?

 

If they were looking at him then i'd say he is on his way because he was top notch last night

 

i like the look of this lad big and strong to looks a player would be a good addition to the squad

 

Didn't he just extend his contract at Blackburn last February up until 2016.

 

i think so hes a local lad and blackburn fan

 

Could have said the same about andy carroll

 

Balatelli - he's young.....ok only joking

 

true

 

Yeah and look at the money it took to cut his ties with Newcastle, Blackburn would be looking for big money for Jones as well(not 35m of course), he's there most sellable asset by a mile

 

True. I guess it's up to the club to set a limit on what they believe to be value for money. I think he has serious potential though. Seems to have real drive and determination

 

If blackburn go down, he could come abit cheaper..

 

He's a good player, but is he what we should be looking at?

I'd need to see alot more of him to make my mind up.

 

Kenny Dalglish is ready to slug it out with Sir Alex Ferguson in a £15million scrap over Blackburn star Phil Jones.

The Liverpool boss and his director of *football Damien Comolli saw the England Under-21 centre back against Manchester City at Ewood Park on Monday night.

Dalglish is a huge fan of the highly-rated 19-year-old defender.

But he will have to show the same *financial daring that saw him land Andy Carroll in January for a British record fee – given the rival interest in one of the hottest properties in the Premier League.

Manchester United boss Ferguson asked about Jones last summer, and indicated he will make a serious bid at the end of this season.

Fergie has identified Jones as a long-term successor to Rio Ferdinand, given his partnership with United defender Chris Smalling for England Under-21s.

Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested, which will raise the price, as will the fact Jones signed a new five-year contract a month ago, but that won’t deter Dalglish.

He reminded me of agger the way he runs from the back with the ball very strong young lad

 

This kid will be on the move in the summer but to who. He has bags of talent for his years and is well worth a pungt. Unfortunately you'll have to pay big bucks for him and it would probably be somewhere between £10m and £15m. By the time you opted for Oxled-Chamberlain, Wickham and Jones you be counting loose change from £35m. Is it worth paying out that much on potential?

 

Starting to wonder if the tabloids/rumour mills are trawling on here for their next big story, we start about Phil Jones yesterday and now its on all the papers today, last week I stuck my wish list in the "7 players needed" including a total "only in Championship manager" wish of Phillip Lahm, and lo and behold, I read on 3 different sites 2 days ago we're looking at him. I'm telling ye, we should be getting commission on here.

 

I'd like messi, xavi, iniesta, ozil, kaka, etc etc

 

Pah sure this thread only started after I Mentioned him in the "Left-Back" thread, so the mirror are even getting their info 3rd hand!

Awful transfer piece of shite rag.
