Curtis Jones

[Irishnev]

100% stay

He showed flashes of real talent and he seems to have a happy knack of being in the right place to get on the end of things. He should have scored one and maybe even two plus was a bit careless on the ball a few times. This is to be expected of young players and as I said before he looks to have the most potential of any of our youngsters.

Such a talent and already contributing - will be a regular player this season and could fill the void if we don’t sign a Ginny replacement

Was superb again - he looks like he has come to terms with the system and adds his sprinkle of individuality when needed

What a player he is and what he will become

I genuinely think he’ll be one of the best midfielders in the world in a few years - he’ll go the same way as Trent. On a tough day at the office he stood out again - he is 19

Haha, maybe not the best person to be calling for patience after "telling us before and telling us again, Jones will never be LFC standard" and calling for him to be sold the same day he signed a new contract.

Ahem - look at the first 5 pages of this thread, I’ve been on the CJ hype train from the start

That could be read as saying Nev was calling for Jones to be sold.....




That fecker Nev

I think he’ll be a worldie (I said it from the start ) but as Dan says we need to be patient with him - the EL should allow us to develop our younger players

He done well towards the end of the season when he got more game time which was great to see. He has had a good tournament for England, as have many of their player but I would certainly not be in the category of "putting him on a list of players we should sign" based on this small sample size. I would put him in the "He's done well recently & lets see what happens" category.

He's young, he has ability, he'll get some game time this season & lets see if he can progress and find the consistency and quality that can make him a main stay in the side. I feel this is another optimism vs realism conversation again, let's not get carried away and just see how he goes. Personally I have no issues with him in the squad but I feel he's only a squad player at the moment with others in that midfield ahead of him in the pecking order.

Also, I feel like I'm going to be called miserable again for this post

Definitely one of you more positive posts Dan. Hoping you can keep it up

The sheep shagger and the koala banger are at it again.


Just get a room , fellas. The shag will do both of you some good.

[danperkins]

Sure ya weren't. Anyways thanks for clarifying what we all knew you meant initially. Also, keep practicing your shtick so when you do follow me around, you actually have something substantial to say.

[Harv]

You're a terrible WUM Harv, keep practicing.

I wasn't trying to be a WUM. I was agreeing that you're a miserable *******.

The lads turnaround the second half of last season has been spectacular. Id written him off, was injury prone and totally ineffective when he did play. That change in formation seemed to do wonders for him.

He's moving the ball a lot quicker now. It was always the big knock on him - he'd dwell on the ball too long and opportunities would pass him by. But now he seems to have learnt when to shift it and when to hold it. Always had the technical ability, but he's learning the craft too.

I didn’t realise we were telling them about the canteen yet?m

Invite only

Tell 'em all. Let them know of the nice things we have whilst they are standing out in the rain playing pocket pool to keep warm.

Elliott's an interesting one. I like him. He's definitely got talent. He's also been very good before getting injured. I'm just not sure where his best position is. I don't see him as a midfielder or a forward in a 4-3-3. A change in formation, or a more flexible formation, could suit him.

Elliot is one we can look at and see there is something there but that he does not quite fit into the systems we use or rather the ones we were using and he has the same problem at the moment fitting in the England u21 team.

But he is also a guy that we are at least a year or two away from having any real idea of how good he might turn out to be.


Had Carvalho not gone to RB Leipzig on loan I would have loved to have seen Elliot go there as think he is good enough to get plenty of game time there and a season getting regular minutes in a team in a strong league that likes to attack would do wonders, imo, for his on pitch progression.

If Leverkusen did not have someone like Wirtz on their books, that would have been another team I would have liked to have seen him go out on loan with as they make use of tricky AMs there.
