This is like Wesley Sneijder from a couple of years ago. Which basically means it won't happen

Fact is we just can't attact the names like we used to. Everyone wants to go to mainland Europe ie RM etc.

Think its nailed on that Juve will sell one of Pogba or Vidal as they have the 2 of them and Marchisio and want to move to a more 4-4-2 formation so don't need all 3, Marchisio is not worth anywhere near what the other 2 are...
Reports this morning (check out Sports Witness, superb coverage in a non-sensationalist way) suggest Juve want to offer Pogba a new contract as he is their most valuable asset given age etc. and will fund that + signigns of Iturbe, Morata, Evra etc. by selling Vidal.
Think you lot have a good chance of signing him. He's expensive and not a true DM (tho neither is Khedira) but I'd love to see us go after him having just signed Sanchez, 2 of them could really help each other!

As much as Vermaelen went off the boil he's still way better than Smalling.
If he can re-find his previous form he's top quality.

I always thought Smalling looked good when he played alongside Vidic or Ferdinand but poor when he was alongside Jones

Thats the problem, Smalling or Jones alongside an established centreback isn't really a problem. Putting Jones and Smalling together and its like they don't know what to do.

Remember Wenger bid quite seriously for him before. I don't see Verm ever recovering here as he will always be 3rd choice, at least Smalling could give it a good go. IMO anyhoo!

that's certainly been my impression of him (and Jones/Evans tbf)

Jones hasn't been given the chance at Centre back yet. I think hed be decent if that became his regular position

I think Jones is a liability tbh.
Vidal will move to United. The way he's talking it would be for United to back out of the deal more than him/Juve.

Jones should play midfield and only play defence as cover.

5m seems rather cheap for a young and talented RB.

Jones should be taken aside and taught positioning and timing every day for the next five years.

Apparently he was entering the last year of his contract and had already told Feyenoord he wouldn't be re-signing
