    My take (from limited games he has been in), is jones probably has a question mark over his athleticism to step up a level. Possibly the same with knibbs 
    I don’t even think it’s an athleticism problem because he works really hard but it’s clear Jones likes a defence/set piece approach first, which Bree is going to have over Apter every time. Seems weird for him to drop 2.5M on one player he knew he wasn’t 100% invested in from day 1
    2.5m? Was he? How did I miss that?!

    Maybe Jones should have thought about this before he spanked £4m out on the pair of them then?!

    I like Apter and he has a lot of qualities. People say he's small, but hes very combative. He got replaced by Bree who then went flying, so no complaints. But if i was him I'd be asking questions as to why a bloke who by NJs own admission couldn't take a corner (could he even make a clearance?) then gets in ahead of me! Its all very odd...

    One thing I find odd about Jones, all our big money signings, Kelman, Knibbs, Apter, Oloafe, Ahadme, JRC, A.Mitchell just don’t seem to suit the system or he falls out with straight away the only other big money signing Kaminski is the only one hes fancied, whereas most of the freebies loans or cheap players have done brilliantly for him

    I think the bigger the signing the less likely they are to completely buy into Jones' system of olay and the more likely they are to want to keep doing what they believe made them successful before, so they don't become Jones' players and so they get less game time than players who completely follow instruction.
