Really surprised to see him go.
I was just looking at the official site and his profile was still on there after everyone else had been removed, in the 'team mates' videos the other players were talking about him as still being here and apparently he went on the preseason tour - so i get the impression even those within the club believed he would end up staying.
Maybe Jamie hasn't been able to agree terms or maybe the emergence of Tickle and Amos contract trigger arguably pushing him to 3rd choice played a factor.
Nixon has just reported Boro want to sign Jones, so manybe he was due to renew but got a better offer in the Championship.
But whatever the case he's been a great representative for the club over the years, so it's sad to see him go and you wish him the best.
He's had his ups and downs, but for me the 2 stand out moments where the save in the last minute away at Shrewsbury that gave us a priceless 3 points in the admin survival season and a double save at Birmingham away when we were down to 10 men. I thought last season was his best for us and he really should've been playing ahead of Amos for me. I think Jamie wrongly had blame put against him for Toure's complete incompetence to organise a defence that saw us concede 12 goals in 3 games and wrongly got dropped. If it wasn't for Jones pulling off so many good saves it would've been more like 15+ goals in 3 games.
