I wish. He's a beast. Think I mentioned before that he'd have been in the US squad for me if the poor guy could his stuff with Cuba sorted.
Disregarding int'l status, he's EXACTLY what practically every MLS club needs. You can't defend by possession in a league that has a self-imposed limit in the number of players with the skills necessary to play such a style and the all-around athleticism rampant in the US and CONCACAF.
The way teams are structured, you absolutely need at least one world class athlete in the midfield (ATHLETE). If you get a guy like Alonso who also has some skill, and you send him out with a few more competent players you're safely in the upper half of the league based on that alone. That's why I think Jones would be so great in MLS. His game is almost tailor made for the style. He's older than Alonso, but he's also more skilled with equal (though presumably declining at some unknown rate due to age) athleticism. I think Jones could give us 3 good years or more, and he has a grittiness about his play and style about his family and social life that would make him a local favorite. Not the face of the franchise per se, but the grinder whose shirt is a favorite of all the "real fans".
