hi, this is for Ed001 if you're about?

just wanted your opinion on Curtis Jones. i've liked how comfortable he appears in possession and seems to use the ball quite smartly. and appears he has a decent shot! are the club/ Klopp looking to develop him into a first team regular? he seems ready for more minutes i think. or is being developed to be sold?

cheers mate.

{Ed001's Note - he is seen as having a future with the club and there are no plans to move him on. That is why he has made the bench a few times recently.}

Of all the youngsters he seems to be the closest to breaking into the squad. Personally, I wouldn’t want to see him go out on loan but game time is always invaluable. What worries me is that we’ve seen a lot of youngsters in recent times go out on loan to never return. Woodburn, Wilson to name just a few. Curtis looks a lot closer to first team than they did though.

Jones looks far closer to the first team than either Woodburn or Wilson ever looked. If we were forced to play him in league games due to injury i would not be worried one bit. I fully expect him to take Lallana’s place in the squad once he leaves.

I believe he has more than shown he can give us valuable minutes and with key players like Milner and Fabinho out not to mention the littany of recovering/ tired players, I can't imagine Jones only getting FA cup games.

i agree, even if he's getting on for the last 15 or 20 to rest some legs. id not be worried by that!

Agreed. Thing is we have some fantastic midfielders.

The fact he can play centrally or in a more advanced role too is a real bonus for us, can see him being a cracking player for us.
