Plus he's English, (quite) young and rumoured to be pissed off at the Swamp.
We should have the feelers out for Christian Eriksen and Luke Shaw as well.

I think you are related to him.
A note on Luke Shaw; Angelino has just been voted into the UEFA best youth 11 at left back. I'm not sure spending 30 mil on a kid to play infront of him & Greg Leigh sends out the right message. There are other positions we can strengthen, with expreienced players.

Wouldn't actually take any of the Man U team now , though have to admit would have signed Jones after I saw him play for Blackburn against us.

Fair point regarding Shaw, but we've been burnt before when we could've done with a player, not made a move and then watched them go to a rival and do well (e.g. Hazard). Eriksen is touting himself to all CL qualifiers and has had a very impressive debut PL season. He would also solve our perennial rubbish-at-set-pieces problem. As for Welbeck, he is sometimes rubbish and often looks awkward on the ball, but his performances at Euro 2012 and for Stretford against Madrid last year and Bayern this year showed the job he can do if used properly.

If I had to make a guess, I would say Devante Cole has the ability to be better than Wellbeck & possibly still not good enough for City.
Eriksen is a quality player but there are a lot of similar players around. If we could find another one at Silva's level it would solve a lot.
One young player we are being linked with who I would sign in a heartbeat, is Iker Muniain. He has stunk the place out sometimes & failed to live upto his ability, but imo from a raw talent level, he is right up there with Hazard etc (& Jovetic for than matter who we have yet to see) & at his best is also someone who runs like fuck. It would be a gamble, as for some reason he looks a shadow of the player he was, but the talent, athleticism & intelligence are all there if we can get him playing.

IMO a player that would be fantastic for us is Arturo Vidal, would love to get him in. Maybe we stand a chance as he is chilean :-)
