If fit, I rate Jagielka. Big if. I know he's got a good jump on him, but he doesn't exactly give us that out-and-out height we seem to lack, does he?
What have you made of Phil Jones?AnthonyG said:If fit, I rate Jagielka. Big if. I know he's got a good jump on him, but he doesn't exactly give us that out-and-out height we seem to lack, does he?
He has a lot of promise and, dare I say it, a good mentor in Nelsen. Not the biggest, again, but seems to know what he's doing out there. Would he better for us than, say, Bartley? Not sure.ricky1985 said:What have you made of Phil Jones?AnthonyG said:If fit, I rate Jagielka. Big if.

Yeah, I like what I've seen of him, too. Seems to read the game really well and make good decisions.AnthonyG said:He has a lot of promise and, dare I say it, a good mentor in Nelsen.

Good to know.ricky1985 said:He's not 5'11" btw. I read an interview one of the broadsheets did with him a while ago - a one-on-one type of thing, and the interviewer talked about him being "6'2" and still growing".

Prices are always hard to predict with inflation and what not.. some players like Falcao only have a year on their contract so won't be out of the question at least..

Yeah.. and I just noticed Blackburn aren't interested in selling players like Jones or Samba. They aren't really in a position where they need to sell players and I guess 15m value they probably wouldn't be interested in selling unless it was for 20+.
Parker is getting up there in age but I do rate him. He'd give a few good years at his position with leadership skills and work rate.

Floating said::roll: This would be an utter disaster. We'd be shipping out nearly every single experienced player we have, and replacing them with complete unknown quantities who have high ratings on Football Manager. We want our squad to get older, not younger. This would set our squad back 5 years easily.
