Curtis Jones

Best performance from him in a long time. Keep that up for the rest of the season and he might have a spot here after all.

Sorry QDan but you're wrong. Again.

He was ok imo, don't see him long term at LFC

Very good performance from the lad. Certainly better than “ OK “

[Rich]

Thought he was pretty good. Encouraging. Vastly more mobile than Elliott.

[rudedog]

Overall pretty good, definitely looked better when the spaces started to open up as the game went on.

[kubrickscube]

Thought he was excellent and was intelligent with his runs and use of the ball.

Only Leeds etc, but that was very encouraging.

Loan or sell.

It's not happening IMO, one reason at least is th HG quota. at present we only have 7 HG players who need to be registered in the main squad (Kelleher, Gomez, TAA, Phillips, Milner, Henderson, Ox) Probably 3 maybe 4 of those are leaving in the summer, Elliott and Carvalho don't need to be registered next year, but Jones does. If Jones leaves we could find ourselves with just 3 HG players from the squad we have, plus anyone we sign in summer, as are unlikely to sign 5 HG players we are likely in the situation where we either keep him or have an empty space in the squad. I think the only way he leaves is if he wants out or we get an offer that is way over what we value him at.

He needs a loan and regular games.
Not just looking at last night's game but I have always said he runs with the ball, then stops, it kills our speed and ability for a fast break. It's almost as if he is realishing being on the ball and on camera!

He's got the mobility and strength to be a decent midfielder, but he seems to run then come to a stop with the ball before making a decision on where to pass.
This means the player he's passing to is often being closed down and then struggles to control so we end up losing possession because of his slow thinking and lack of peripheral vision.

Loan or sell.

Ha, I didn't pick up on it if so. I was just thinking you wanted me to break down the numbers and prove that it would be cheaper to sell him now on a lower wage than give him a new contract and possibly sell him for a higher fee.

Oh, no! Not at all

I imagine his previous contract was absolute dog**** to be honest?

My post was a bit aggressive in hindsight, apologies

I meant those people saying we only offered him a new contract so we could sell him. That doesn't make sense, it's ludicrous actually.

Edit: Reading back I can see why it's pretty misleading without quotes.

Yeah... I remember Stevie G was quite injury prone as a youngster. Hopefully when he stops growing he will be less prone (Curtis...)

Not as much as gets said.

Between the ages of 19 and 30 he only played in less that 30 league games in a season twice and those two seasons he played 28 and 29 league games.

To take his game numbers for all comps. Between the ages of 20 and 30 he played between 43 and 54 games each season.


Not that whatever Gerrard did or did not do at any age has any bearing on what Jones will or will not do.
