You have to remember Ferdinand at 30 mil and Rooney at 30 mil, at similar ages in a much less inflated market,
I Jones turns out to be 90% player Ferdinand is he's worth 20 odd mil now, same with Henderson.
Granted Rooney and Ferdinand had done it in our league so much more of a risk and thus the lower prices compared with 30 mil.
Not sure about Jones he will become a good defender but for that price i'd expect them to be faster or read the game much better at his age.
Henderson though reminds me a awful lot of Fat frank at West Ham and I feel we're taking less of a risk compared with the Mancs with Jones as quite a few people in football seem to already know Henderson is due for big things in the future especialy with such a level head and such maturity.
My only worry is if we mould him into being a player in a role which doesn't max out his potential, like Mikel as a dm/playmaker, and Lucas as a dm (he was destined for bigger things as an att mid but Rafa made him a dm), sturridge at chelsea.
Lastly you have to think about it as only a potential 36 mil being spent if we get jones which is still unlikely meaning we have two key positions filled with roughly 50 mil left not inc sales etc.
Adam + lb will be under 18mil, wickham will be 10 mil odd, leaving 30mil + sales for 2 wingers, downing 12 mil and mata 20 mil or marveuz free or nzogbia instead of downing for under 12 mil.
Upcoming world class players IMO for 2014 WORLD CUP:
K-P Boateng, Gotze, Sturridge, Kroos, Lucas Leiva, Hummels, Kyriakos Papadopoulos,
