Rovers - Jones: Excited to be here

Doesn't sound that excited to me.

[brian_gallagher85]

Is it just me or does he sound like he doesn't actually want to be here after the loan spell...?

[Hughesy]

Nothing there about an option to buy at the end of the loan.

Hughesy?

Not much there at all! Hopefully Nicko or the LT tomorrow will confirm the clause, and perhaps the price.

[joey_big_nose]

Doesn't sound that excited to me.

Ha! True. Hopefully we will win him over if he does well.

JJ spoke to Boltons Holden before coming to England. Mentions the physical side of the league n beasts like Samba... Seems up for it!

[rog of the rovers]

Does he have a squad number yet?

[iammikec]

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but here is some footage from the press conference

[John]

Can't believe he was asked a question on Samba maybe leaving, ridiculous! He was not allowed to answer that one.

Said it is possible he could stay longer than after the loan deal.

[Majiball]

Looks pretty excited for a German to me.

He'll love it once he knows where the sunbeds are, quick, give him a towel

Ah very interesting. From reading the quotes I thought Jones sounded underwhelmed about being here. However, I assumed he was half American and therefore spoke fluent English, but having watched the video it now makes sense.

[jimw1988]

So he likes to play "fast" and "strong" then!

[brian_gallagher85]

His English is as good as Savages too, so it looks like the comparisons aren't too far fetched

[patrickvalery]

Poor sod seems to have caught a cold already!

From Grella, probably.

I think that the Savage comparisons aren't bad, but they don't do Jones justice. He's a far more complete player than Sav ever was, in that he is far more an attacking threat.

For me, its great because its another compatriot in the kit for which to root; I've been missing that since Big Brad left.

Funny how we finally get another yank and he's one that doesn't speak english well and has barely lived in the states. if he stays in Lancashire anywhere near the time Brad stayed he'll have a wicked German-Lancashire accent with a bit of the american south in there.

Jones is very fast, domineering and never misses a tackle.

He can't pass for toffee though.

This is according to my dream last night.

Was he a homophobe in your dream too or did he try it on with you?

[braddock]

He came off midway through the first half to vaseline his head. He was also very wavy with the crowd. Maybe he was suppressing something.

[Valois]

Will be interesting to see if Jones plays in the behind close doors game with Huddersfield today. Would be good to give RSC a bit of match time, and perhaps N'Zonzi.

[John]

From the comments yesterday, Jones is meant to play 45 minutes today.

The Huddersfield who lost 4-0 at Carlisle in the Johnston Paints semi-final last night?

[Tom]

Yes Phil that's the one, also the team that beat Big fat Sams rovers team in a pre season friendly

Regardless of their quality or lack of it it's good to get the new guys on the pitch with a couple of their new team mates.
