highest number of second balls won in L2 last season.... so he's a defensive/combative midfielder by the looks of it.

Sounds like a good signing. Experienced, wins his tackles and knows the league. Played every game for Carlisle last season before Covid19.

Obviously not a goal scorer but you need someone to do the dirty work in the middle

You rate every footballer on goals scored......obviously never kicked a ball in your life or know the game if this is the case!!! Other jobs in football than putting it in the net.

Players like Jones are what Barrow need to get bedded into the EFL. Winning the ball is key. I'm sure Dunn will replace the goals/flair of Rooney soon enough. However, getting a solid base to play from is vital.

Correct. One will be playing league football and one non league.
And Barrow will be the team that suffers.
Why will we suffer .he wanted to go

Not true. I’m just giving you facts. I’ve never seen him play - I have no idea whether he’s a good player or not. I hope he is and he does well for us. Rooney scored 31 goals last two seasons . Whether M Jones is a better player or not we will see. Looks like he can tackle, intercept and pass.

Again, he isn't Rooney's replacement!!!

Rooney left today - Dunn won't have got his replacement signed up already.

Could be Taylor’s replacement with him dropping to a squad player

Rooney has made less than 50 appearances in the EFL. Jones has made nearly 500. Clearly Jones is better at what he does than Rooney.
