He skipped past Evra at Old Trafford last season.
Great run and cross vs Wigan for Jones to equalise
Passing against Blackburn earlier this season was brilliant
His quick, short, one touch passes are something we havent had in midfield for years and because of this many fans dont appreciate them. These quick passes create so much more space for our other players and keep the game flowing.
Ah right, so world cup is the same as league games.
And you are taking the papers word as fact now eh? I'll assure you, whatever Ferguson rated him at 4 weeks ago will be pretty much the same as he is rated at by Ferguson now.
Two things, both of which were last season, and I specifically mentioned earlier how I had been dissapointed with him, THIS season, and how THIS season, I hadn't seen the things that make him so supposedly impressive and worth £20 million or what have you.
His passing at Blackburn was good for the first half, not so much the second I'd say, where we struggled. You would expect a hungry and clever cm to run a game against ten men, no?
The quick, one touch passing is certainly an asset, and it fits in with our now enjoyable style of short, tidy passing, but he's not the only one in the side to do this, nor is he the only young cm in the premier league to do this. It doesn't make him worth an awful lot of money or the next anyone. It's a strength, an asset, but it's simply a positive in the good qualities column, which is about equal to negatives in the weaknesses column. All adds up to him being an alright cm, with plenty time to improve and get better, which i hope he does. It doesn't mean he's more or less a year away from being Paul Scholes in his prime, or anything approaching that, though.
