I not so sure....Andrew Cole improved as a player immensely after moving from Newcastle to Man Utd and he was around 25. So did Ian Wright, Dion Dublin...ex-armyman Guy Wittingham..... to name a few, all improved significantly as players after their 25 birthday. Not that I'm saying he will, but it's not wishful thinking....is just depends on how determined Jones is to improve himself as a player.

Those kinds of things come down to better tactical awareness and off-the-ball running, which can certainly be improved.

But generally once a player is in his mid 20s any kind of increase in his skills is going to be marginal.

all increases are marginal, particularly if one discounts for cumulation ... further, when is peak age?
