Phil Jones ITK

[iwantpie]

Just read the ITK in @spursman18 thread. I think this would be a very good signing. Young, English, no-nonsense centre-half probably available for about £12-£15m (less if Blackburn go down). Him, Dawson and Kaboul would set up our central defence for a good few years yet I would think. Did I imagine it or can he play full-back too?

Don't think kaboul is good enough

[mattyvw]

he looks like he could be a very good midfielder as well think they'll be a lot of clubs after him

[rossdfc]

Kaboul has a long way to go before he's ready for being our centre back, but he's an excellent right back IMO.

Having said that he was at the heart of the defence that beat Inter Milan for example and he was excellent that night. I think by the time Gallas leaves/retires he'll be ready, because all he is lacking is experience.

Back on topic, I think Phil Jones is an exciting young player. He's been great when I've watched him this season, although I haven't watched him enough to make a proper judgement. I try to avoid watching Blackburn whenever possible

He would be a decent signing and one for the future to seriously consider.

Caulker and Jones. The next Tottenham defensive partnership for the next decade . . . or two.

[CmonyouSpurs]

Jones has shown incredible ability so far, and he would be a magnificent signing. Can't think of anyone else I'd rather have to replace Woody.

I'm not convinced we'll stand much chance of signing him, but I'd love it if we did. He has a LOT of interest and deservedly so, but I couldnt really see him choosing us over some of the other clubs that are supposedly in for him. I'm more than happy to be proved wrong though.

[spursman18]

I think Liverpool or Ars*nal are his likely destination

[BlueCrew LA]

I think Arsenal, which would disappoint me because I really rate that kid. I would rather see him go to Liverpool.

I'd love Jones here. He's absolute quality.

I may not have sky, but watching a blackburn game is a horror of the modern world that must be avoided nonetheless.

[MagnaThor]

Indeed I haven't watched much of Blackburn and I'm proud of it, so I haven't even heard of this guy. But 15 million?? Man what is this, I thought we were looking to spend that sort of money (and a little more) on a striker?? And what's with this renewed interest in Charlie Adam? We don't even have a spot for imo on of the best performing D-Mids this calendar year in Sandro, how would we make space for him? I know he plays a difference midfield role, but still we have so many that are between being nearly as good as him or much better, so spending so much on Adam is ridiculous as well.

I don't understand that post in the ITK about 10 of our 11 men are leaving in the summer. Is it just my eyes, or does it really say TEN OF THE STARTING 11 ARE LIKELY TO DEPART??!!!
