    It did work earlier either through tomfoolery or someone jumping the gun.

    We'll have to wait and see about the medical. Some say failed others say no problem.

    Was impressed with his performance against us. Good vid link to it here;

    http://thebusbyway.com/2011/06/08/v...why-rooney-rated-him-as-his-hardest-opponent/

    According to wikipedia (which is never wrong) he is only 5'11 which is short for an EPL central defender. Vida, Rio, Evans, Smalling etc. all around or taller than 6'2. Maybe SAF has a holding mid role in mind in our new 451/433? :)

    Possibly started the thread a bit too early.

    I wonder what Bebe is up to this good evening.

    The official site, the Blackburn one, lists the same height for Jones. He is the same height as Jagielka. Pity Jones has only just turned 19 years old and has therefore fully grown. :(

    16 million of our precious cash.......for a Blackburn defender? It can't be true. I refuse to believe it.

    Continuing with the tradition of signing players that 'I have barely ever heard about'..

    Hope that he is groomed to play in United's MF

    I wonder how long the U-21 guys are getting off at the end of the tourney. I know the experience is probably good and whatnot, but I'd rather our younguns get a decent break and then get to preseason it up with us.
