With him being injured and on the transfer list, does Jones have a future at the club? IMO he is a waste of space. He had one good game - and that was on his debut.
He wasn't that impressive at Leeds - They couldn't believe it when we paid them 3 million for him.
I remember Lennon's last game for us - Against Leeds at Filbert Street which we won 3-1. Jones was playing for Leeds that day. For one of our goals, Jones gave the ball away in his own defensive third which led to Akinbiyi scoring. Jones had a terrible game with Lennon trouncing all over him.
A few days later, Lennon leaves to go Celtic, and Taylor purchases Jones for 3 million. Good thinking Mr Taylor.
Jones is a woeful passer of the ball - as illustrated by the Leeds example, where he gives the ball away in dangerous positions. He also did this against Liverpool in the Premiership a few seasons ago. We were containing Liverpool quite comfortabely at Anfield at 0-0. Jones attempts to do something fancy in midfield and gives the ball away which led to Heskey scoring the winner. Basset said afterwards he was 'doing a song and dance in midfield.
The thing with Jones is that he tries to do the fancy things which don't work. He doesn't do the basics very well. His tackilng is reckless and he often wonders around the pitch like a headless chicken to no real effect.
I can't wait to see the back of him.
