Kenwyne Jones

[El Rojo]

Liverpool are interested in signing Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones and could make a £12m bid for him. (Mirror)

 

Proof, if ever it was needed, that newspapers never refuse ink.

[Rashid]

I am scared of this link because I have a feeling it is true.... Jones may or may not end up as a great..but how many more mid range strikers do we need?

[23 Carra Gold]

at 12m you can forget it hopefully usual tabloid bullshit

[coop]

We laughed when first linked with Peter Crouch so i wouldnt totally dismiss it.

[shannow]

Would you swap him for Kuyt or Voronin????

voro yes as he cost us nothing, kyut no, i reckon they would laugh at us going on recent form.

[Guest TK-421]

I think there might be something in this, he sounds like a direct replacement for Crouch. I haven't seen much of him but a Mackem mate says he's a very good player.

[coop]

In all fairness from the little i have seen of Jones he has looked a decent player. Big, strong, holds the ball up well and has a bit of pace about him.

 

If we were talking about £4-5 million then i would say he is maybe worth the risk but at the figures quoted at around £10-12 million then i would expect an International with far more pedigree about him.

LETS GET IT RIGHT HES SHIT

LETS GET IT RIGHT HES SHIT

 

Have you seen him play much? What are his strengths and weaknesses?

[RED Tezza]

gotta say it stinks of tabloid bullshit especially at 12 million, seeing as the black cats paid what 6 million in the summer? not seen much of the lad myself but heard he can be a bit of a handful. but as some have said the Crouch link looked like a load of shit at the time. i really can't see this happening though. if it was for 4-5 mill like coop said maybe i'd believe it. but the fee is garbage, and it's in the Mirror

[Rashid]

I've seen him play, he isn't my type of striker. People liken him to a poor man's Drogba.

Definately not worth 12 mill then?

[moxter]

I've heard worse insults...

[Rashid]

I'd say he is worth £7M tops.

[Unrighteous]

I'm not quite sure what to make of this... We are linked with Pandev and Huntelaar. One is more obscure but class.... and one is one of the most sought after strikers in Europe.

 

Now are linked with Jones? I fucking hate Journos.

[memyselfandpie]

If such a thing could exist; Drogba was a 'poor man's Drogba' at 23 wasnt he?

 

It looks almost certain that Crouch will be on his way, and it seems Rafa wants someone good in the air. The fact that Kenwyne Jones is very fast is a bonus I guess.

 

I wouldnt be too quick to either rule it out, or rule him out as a player, he's growing for sure.

[Hermes]

The next forward we sign has to be top quality. Not somebody who has hardly played the game, has no record of being a success elsewhere and is only being touted by the press because Roy Keane is trying to bump up the price so that he can get rid.

[Red Nick]

Would you swap him for Kuyt or Voronin????

 

I think you know my answer to that question

 

However unless he was swapped I think a signing like that might just be enough to push of lot of loyal Rafa backers over the edge

 

It wont happen though

[RED Tezza]

I'd say he is worth £7M tops.

 

would probably go along with that, but not that i think it'll happen.

What? I think all loyal Rafa backers and ANY Liverpool supporter will give Rafa's signing time to either shine or fail.

 

Stop talking bollocks.

[Rashid]

I don't really think Rafa has made a quality striker signing (Torres aside) so I'd prefer he bought proven quality which less chance of failing.

[Unrighteous]

I do agree with you Rashid. I also don't feel that we need to worry about having a 'giant' striker. We just need someone good in the air(hey look! Huntelaar is great in the air!)

[G Richards]

Surely you know that the word 'Morientes' is the perfect riposte to this!

[Hermes]

Maybe Rafa had trouble understanding Roy keane on the phone and thinks his name is Can'twin.
