Phil Jones will be a better player than everyone on that list, except maybe Wilshere and Thiago.

Oxlade-Chamberlain of Portsmouth :lol:
Hazard mate.
Hype.
Reality.
Nah Jones plays for Utd so therefore Jones>everyone who has and will ever play football(with no exceptions.)
FYP and I'm glad you know.

I don't see how. Jones isn't close to Wilshere, Thiago, Hazard or Gotze from what i've seen and I rate Jones highly. Also calling Hazard hype is a bit hypocritical when saying Jones is better than the rest as the lad is currently mainly that wanked off so much when Smalling is comfortably the better CB.
It's always hard comparing defenders to creative players as people will instinctively go for the creative players but the potential Jones has is phenomenal. He could play pretty much any position on the pitch and it wouldn't have that much of an effect on his game. His footballing brain is certainly on the same level as those players and his overall ability as a player is up there too. He's the most natural leader I've seen since Roy Keane and he has great control and technique. Also, Smalling isn't "comfortably" better at all. At the moment he is marginally better if anything, but both still have a lot of developing to do.

And I'm wumming about Hazard :lol:
I don't think it always does. With Arsenal we've had van Persie, Cesc etc... playing well in recent seasons but my thoughts go straight to Sagna when saying our best player in recent seasons :D I wouldn't agree his football brain or overall ability is as good as the 4 I mentioned but he is close so its hard to clearly judge like you can with some. I know he isn't comfortably better :lol: I always go OTT for effect.

Good <_<

I agree with Viva in that sense btw, if a list of 100 greatest players was made 999/1000 would have the top 10 possibly more being all attacking players. Be surprised if the likes of Maldini et al would even get a mention unless it was a poll of defenders tbh.

What you agreeing with? because Jones is a very good prospect but not done anything to be ahead of Wilshere and Thiaga and even Hazard just yet even Smalling id have to add in there.

Public I believe. I voted Jones as it's obvious he's the best on the list. He's lucky Macheda isn't on there I tell ya.

That more often than not an attacking player being compared to a defensive one is nigh on impossible and the attacking player will generally be considered the 'better'.

What has Thiago done that puts him so far ahead of the likes of Jones?

I was going to mention that but was unsure of how much he has actually played.

Ok yh thats fair but i think being a defender you get better with age wheras attackers play better when they are younger. In regards to Jones he hasnt warranted anything just yet defender or not.

won the under 21's and was pretty much the best player there. Comfortably barca's best youngster at the club and whenever he plays impresses. Has played for SPain already which no mean feat considering how good there players are.
