Hope the wages aren’t too high for friend and Wilson. Yes we need experience but don’t want another Mark Hughes or two. Another younger CB required with friend as cover please

Happy with this, on the proviso it doesn't squeeze out another defender in the Taylor/Gibson mould.
Seems to have decent experience and will be good cover and give guidance to younger players.

Can offer value at left back or LCB, two positions we needed cover. Adds massive experience and touch of class. Very smart signing this one imo.

Friend has played at a high level and comes with lots of experience. Hopefully he can be a leader is the dressing room and on the pitch. I just hope he still has the hunger and desire.

He’s a left footer as far as I was aware too… “Barton switched all bar left-back Ryan Jones for the second half” “The 19-year-old joined Rovers on a three-year deal from Weston-super-Mare in October 2020. The youngster, who plays on the left-flank, signed a three year deal with the Gas and returned to Weston-Super-Mare on loan for the remainder of the 2020/2021 season.” www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-jones/profil/spieler/824937

Isn't he to old now though, still if Joey thinks he's good enough then that'll do for me

Another good addition to the squad if this comes off. Looks like we will certainly have a much better balance of youth and experience this season which can only be beneficial. Can’t wait for the season to start.

Is it a pattern emerging that JB likes a very experienced player around the squad on matchdays? He might not make the starting team but is someone he can bring on to do stuff like see a match out or calm things down. JB didn’t have one when he first came in but with Coutts and Whelan he did. Neither will now be playing so he needed to bring in someone who can do that role. Perhaps George Friend will do that.
UTG!

I hear “probs too old” and then I think of Paul Coutts Port Vale (A) 2022 & what was a rare 10/10 showing and one of the best individual performances I have ever seen from a Rovers player.
Welcome Georgey boyyyyy

Jones is definitely left footed. I saw him make his debut for Weston as a number 10 and then was converted into a LB/LWB and also played further forward as a traditional winger on both sides. I have a friend who scouted for the club at the time and I tipped him off about Jones and he was there the night Barry Fry was watching him and we basically pretty concluded a deal that night after Fry had also made an offer to Weston and with other clubs sniffing around too.
