Derby have been linked to Jones. Whether this is going to be a loan or them buying him, I'm not sure. Rooney is in charge at Derby at then moment.
They could do with adding Jonesβ vast experience to their ranks, as they sit 22nd in the second tier, and he's not bad when he's playing in certain set ups. Injuries have ruined what potential he could have reached, but he should be adequate at mid PL and certainly for the Championship.
There is also interest from West Ham and Newcastle. Though out of those two, I can only set him at Newcastle.

He must be close.

We signed Jones just before DDG so probably Jones

If there’s anything that sums up how incompetent the board is with no clue about football, it’s offering Phil Jones a 4 year contract extension when he’s been a sick note pretty much since he signed. Wtf were they thinking.

Can't believe this gurning caant will be due a testimonial soon, 16 games a season average.
Stealing a living.

A bit harsh, it’s not his fault he keeps getting injured. And he didn’t offer the new contract himself.

Missing a game here and there is OK
But only playing 165 games over 10 years and taking up squad space is stealing a living. That's being kind.
If people can't play they are of little use, talent or no talent. And Mr Jones was a liability on the field.

Balance Sheet asset value is the only thing they could have been thinking of. Won't have been a footballing decision

I can't believe someone has made a sentence with Phil Jones & the phrase "on the move" in it
