Probably says more about Liverpool's centre backs than Jones current level, to be honest.
RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I find the dumb responses of resident Liverpool fans on this forum in this thread more funnier than RAWK at times.
They cant resist this thread.
Writing such a statement after his massive club Liverpool just signed 3 players from Southampton. Right.
As you wished

Oppo fans: Jones is average, a squadie, overhyped
SAF: Jones can be our best player ever.
Who will I believe? hmm.

Is neither an option?
It should be.
Opposition fans views are closer to the truth.
I hope so. He's not going to be our best player ever but there is still a lot of time for him to be one of the best defenders in the league.
well thats just like, your opinion, man.
They're not happy with the closer match-day involvement of the mascot. Zero utterance of the obvious thus far. though.
Wrong thread for the discussion so I'll just be brief, but I personally reckon he'll be a great player for you as long as two things happen: he stays injury free and you stop mucking around with his position and give him an extended run at centre back. Think it harmed his development moving him about.
...now you can go back to laughing at RAWK

That's horrid suit. With all the money he has he picks that out!
You know their regular references to United supporting mates of theirs who coincidently only say things Liverpool fans like to hear? Well some Everton supporting mates have appeared...
They've paid £28m for the worst touch in football, what were Everton thinking?!?! Should've listened to their support.

It's on here somewhere
FFS
those are the funniest."You know, had my united supporting mates over and they reckon Evra's a troublemaker and Suarez is innocent la..."
Tbf a lot of Everton supporters do criticize Lukaku for his first touch. Being Rawk though he exaggerates x100.
I remember Drogba's first season at Chelsea when he was drawing comparisons to Henry. They said Henry had pedigree after coming through the Clairefontaine academy while Drogba's education in Ligue 2 was evident in his first touch.
That soon changed.
Wasn't it on this forum that someone was arguing that technical skills couldn't be learnt past 22 or something

Sounds like Scholsey to me.
Forever in our hearts.

16
It was Scholesy and it was older than16, I think it was 21 years old.
The main bulk of technical attributes are learnt at an earlier age, you expect the mental aspects to come more into play, but to say it stops at X age is madness...
How are they taking the possible signing of Balotelli?
Will he suddenly become a world class prospect as opposed to the idiot they thought he was last week?

He already is a World Class player.
Are they asking themselves the question - "Why is Milan letting a world class talent go for 16m?"
they're just excellent at negotiating, la.
Tbf, if United signed him and sure there would be a massive divide in opinion on here about it.
He already is a World Class player.
When on form, he certainly is.
The same could be said of Nani.
Nani hasn't been on form in years. Fortunately, for Liverpool fans, Balotelli has. If anyone can get the best out of him, I think Rodgers will. He's a header but when on form is unplayable.
The same could be said of Nani.
And just like Nani, you have to really look hard for the world class games Balotelli has played since 2012. If it wasn't for his antics, who would even talk about him anymore?
Are they saying anything about us and our current woes? They must be having a field day with the meltdown we're all going through right now.
To be honest, Liverpool's current standing means that elite strikers are tough to attract. Years outside the CL has meant Liverpool haven't got the same pulling power currently.
This means that Rodgers is looking at players who could step up despite not costing the earth. Sturridge is an obvious example of a player that wasn't universally rated but had potential in spades. Whatever your view on Mario, he has huge potential. If it works out then Liverpool won't miss Suarez hugely.
Never mind Malky Mackay & Mario Balotelli, over at RAWK the Mighty Red mascot controversy continues...
I'm annoyed by this idea. My view on him is that he doesn't, in fact, have huge potential. He has a certain potential of course, but his attitude and immaturity has led to an easy narrative for fans and press to say 'he's potential world class but wasting it' and so on. I honestly don't believe he is, he scores some incredible goals now and again but he'll be at the very best a decent striker.
This is just my opinion, but I was annoyed by the wording of your sentence that was that everyone basically has to accept the guy has huge potential. It's pretty easy to argue otherwise.
