Why? How many top class number twos are there about who are happy being number 2? Jones does a job for me.
I agree with you in as much as not many teams have quality back ups, but in regards he does a job I'm sorry but you can see he instils no confidence in his back four whatsoever. The fact he's spilling balls left right and centre be it from direct shots or crosses is surely a big indication as to the fact we need a more solid replacement for when Pepe's out.
Cavalieri was a good example he never took Reina's place as number 1, but he was a very solid performer when he was called upon.
I'm quite happy to have the right sort of goalkeeper sign for us and then leave a couple of season down the line if they can't become our regular number 1. It shows there hunger to be the number 1 at at club and not be the guy who'll step in if needed (which imo is what Jones will now be till he retires).
If you look at the EPL as far as the goalkeeping department go and I'm not talking about there first choice I think there's quite a few teams that are ahead of us.
Imo we are only in front of Everton, Fulham, Wigan, Reading, West Ham and WBA in terms of our back up to our number one gk. And a couple of them are debatable!
