David Jones

Didn't he used to play alongside Darren Potter, at Wolves?

Sheffield Wednesday have triggered the £2.5M release clause in midfielder David Jones contract #SWFC #BurnleyFC

 

 

 

£2.5m for a 31 year old journeyman midfielder? Not a chance in hell.

Played nearly the full game for burnley this weekend. I know they're buying Defour but not sure they'd be happy for him to leave. 

 

They've been linked with centre-mids galore. Defour, Hendrick, Ledley, Stephens, and Westwood. Maybe Jones will be surplus v.soon.

Sweetener for loan bid for Tarkowski?

[Guest wilyfox]

Doubt the price would be as high as that.

Burnley are about to sign two central midfielders to take his place 

Wow, he must be good! They're only signing one to replace Barton.

Would be a good squad addition but not sure he's a starter for me, always happy to be proved wrong.

 

I would agree with that. Think he would be an ideal player in tactical games where we need a solid base and structure to the midfield. A better tackling midfield option than we currently have and good at set pieces. If we were to sign him I would expect to play more against promotion rivals and in away games than in home games where we would be expected to have the lions share of attacking threat.

Yeah, an upgrade on Semedo and Melo for when Bannan anchoring the midfield looks too lightweight maybe (although he was awesome against Naarch)?

[parkerowl]

very good signing if it happens IMO.

Why does nobody ever say "he's got a great right foot on him" about right footed players

 

But you always hear people going on about players having a great left peg or a sweet left foot, seems unfair to me

Not a huge fan of his at all, but he has been promoted 4/5 times I think. Not good enough for the prem, but that bit of experience could be very useful in getting us over the line.

[Bluesteel]

Good player, but not ticking the obvious boxes we are missing.

5 clubs permanent, 4 loans, someone called Steven Fletcher a journeyman earlier and he's had less clubs with more appearances so the comment stuck in my mind ;)

Naah in fairness mine neither, thought he'd played for more clubs until I actually went and checked following your reply :)

It's good, but it's not right.
