Gentlemen, witness the not too subtle death of witticism.

At 19 and with limited experience, my opinion is that he is not worth 20 million and the reason that is what United paid for him is because he is English. When it comes to young English players you can double their true value and get their sale value.

Having said that, he does have a lot of potential to one day become a 20 million centre back.

If you've never heard of this guy before, you've clearly not been a very keen follower of english football. This guy has been praised numerous times, 'next John Terry' - Ancelotti, 'Rolls ROyce' etc.

I think it was £16.5m.

I had actually noticed Phil Jones towards the end of last season as a player with a lot of potential.

I thought however, that with Smalling, Ferdinand and Vidic (with Evans as back up) we wouldn't be buying anyone in defence.

I'm really happy that we have signed him and I don't really care about the price because I'm not paying for him. I just hope that SAF can keep them all happy.
