ive heard it al now.......
http://sport.uk.msn.com/football/news/capello-compares-jones-to-baresi
just to remind you, that's Franco Baresi...'the Little One,' one of the greatest defenders EVER.
Over 750 appearance for AC Milan and Italy. World Cuip finalist (ok ok he bottled his penalty in '94) possible World cup winner in '82 (did he play for Italy then?)
3 Champions League at least 5 Serie A's
Even had his No. 6 shirt retired... (All facts need checking, all memory work tho im confident they are accurate)
and there is Phillip Jones on the other hand...less than 75 games, not even got a proper position yet. Given the runaround by Adam at Anfield.
El Postino is deluded.

With all due respect, I'm not sure you've fully understood why the comparison has been made?
Maybe not, i respect the way you worded the comment, maybe my grasp of English is not great...
i haev to go but the final statement
Baresi is Prada, Ferrari, Paris, Champagne
Jones is Umbro, Lada, Bognor Regis, Cherry Coke
bye and sorry if i upset u, i swear it wasnt my intenion
Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool Kuyt

This actually really made me laugh!!
Jones is more the unfinished article, but he has raw talent and seems like a decent guy. Maybe when he's a little older he'll see sense and join a real team...

Capello has made a silly comment, just like when Giggs was likened to Best that was daft.
Jone at 19 is a decent player, if he carries on he has the possiblity to be world class, but dear me he's only 19.

As Capello has much more experience than all of us on here and has worked with both I go with his judgement.
Jones is going to be a very good player, good enough to have his shirt retired by United.....only time will tell.

Nobodies shirt gets retied at United, that sort of crap is for Ice hockey or american rugby. If it were the case shirts got retired then Best, Law, and Chrlton would have had it years ago, If Jones is half as good as any of these three he will be world class

If we had retired the no.7 shirt after Dalglish finished we'd never have seen new icons come in to create new memories like Nigel Spackman, Vladimir Smicer and Robbie Keane
