They are elusive. You have named 3, one of which is currently at the club. |

Jones could do the DM role - he's more useful there than on the bench where it seems he's playing behind Ferdinand and Vidic. He has done the role before and it would at least give him some game time. |

Including from the subs bench yes. The lad could be playing 90 minutes week in week out though - if he gets full games regularly at his age (and he certainly never burnt out for us!) then it is only going to benefit him in terms of awareness, concentration, fitness and general ability. |

The only matches I can't remember him starting are West Brom and City he's had plenty of game time. Vidic and Rio were both injured from the first game of the season remember.

As already pointed out though, Jones has only been in the first team due to injuries. Whilst he has made a lot of sub appearances as well, when Ferdinand and Vidic are fit it is hard to see him getting much game time at centre back. |

“The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.”

i dont think that would of been a problem if you were not forced into buying jones because of our interest in him. fergie didnt want him until next summer dont forget |

Which is why I was surprised he never shifted on another defender ie Evans. |

I would have said that at the beginning of the season but based on the performances of Vidic and Ferdinand so far this season, I think Jones could well play in front of them! |

yep he was due to injuries which was correct. He couldnt just walk in and be a starter. but due to injuries hes played more games than expected and has staked his claim. |
