Depends on the type of Hockey I suppose.
Grass Hockey I'd probably say no, with it being a non contact sport. From watching them both play football I'd say Nikis appreciation of space and technical ability would possibly make him the better Hockey player.

Ice Hockey you'd probably look at Jones physical prowess. If he could make that work on ice could be quite handy.

Apologies.

Hmmmm, by fitting in to the possession system we play, building slowly from the back, I guess you want a forward who can bring others in to play. Good technical ability, good passer of the ball, bit of flair to open up teams who park the bus.

Now, I'm not ****ging Rom off but, I don't think he has the previous listed abilities in spades. What he does have, strength, size, power, adequate finisher etc makes up for that. So while he has worked out (he's a very good player) for us this year, I don't think he is ideal for our style of play. By extension I very much doubt Jones, a downgrade on Rom in almost every department, would be good for us.

Sadly we missed out on Negrado, as I think he would have been perfect. Big and strong, with great technical ability and a touch of Berbatov about him with his vision and awareness.

It's a shame with what happened with Niki, as when he came he looked like the real deal and seemed to have many of the attributes that we require.

P.s. As a centre forward Niki > Hibbo > Howard > Jones
 

Seen that guy linked as well to us alcacer seemingly at finch farm and was shown around last week just prior to team going away I think it'll be something like this a unknown someone that hasn't been mentioned before
 
Why are people giving any credence at all to this Kenwynne Jones rumour? He won't move anywhere where he has to take a wage cut, and we wouldn't pay him half of what he's currently on.
