Steve Kean has reiterated his desire to hold onto superstar defender Phil Jones, but you could be fooled reading the rest of his quotes.

Jones has been earmarked as a future England captain and more importantly, a future Rovers captain by all and sundry.

But with Jones attracting interest Kean has stepped into ward potential suitors off… before bigging him up a dream.

Kean told Sky Sports – “I don`t know if Phil would go straight into the team at a Champions League club’

“He is a Rolls-Royce, he is a fantastic player and is bound to attract interest.

“He plays like a 28-year-old, he`s got experience and calmness and when needed he has got that turn of pace.”

“He is also a supporter and it`s great for the fans to see one of their own playing”

“He was outstanding at the end of the season.”

“You always brace yourself for bids – we have had offers before for him and I am sure there will be solid ones in again”

“He will move on some time, but I can see him being captain here first.”

A little admission at the end there? If Samba leaves then make Jones captain I say.
