Lets be honest, whilst some on here reckon hes a tad reckless hes been playing for a canny side in Germany and in the champions league, surely hes an upgrade?

When he wasn't sitting on a 3 match ban....I'd definitely agree with you. Fear he'd be in the stands a lot though mate.

If.. and a very big if... he can keep his head, he'd be the 2nd best midfielder on the team, after Ki, and certainly the most experienced. Cattermole and Colback would be out of a job - which would not be a bad thing. They're part of the the problem. I'm surprised you weren't impressed with him at Schalke - have you watched them a lot? He's usually very skillful and fairly creative for Schalke... there's little question of his skill among the Bundesliga fans/players and the German press... there's just the question of his sanity.

With all apologies, Jones is far better than Ki.

The game I went to he scored a great goal but other than that he gave the ball away all the time. I then normally only watch them on tv v bigger sides and he can seem a bit out of his depth although maybe he would play a different role. But in general I'm sure he would be a decent signing and would obviously improve on that third slot
 
Shouldn't really compare Ki and Jones. completely different players. Jones is much more like Catts, but covers more ground.
