Is this the man to save Liverpool’s season?
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on January 18, 2010 | 12 Comments
Perhaps save is the wrong word, cause let’s face it, no matter what happens between now and the end of May, this season will no doubt be seen as a failure for Liverpool fans.
Anyway, Rafa Benitez’ search for a striker continues and a new name entered the frame today. Sunderland’s Kenwyne Jones is now understood to be on Liverpool’s radar with several leading newspapers claiming a six-month loan deal may be on the cards.
Jones, 25, was recently valued at £40 million by Sunderland boss Steve Bruce following claims that Stoke City were interested in signing the former Southampton man.
Names like Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Roman Pavlyuchenko, Emile Heskey, Marouane Chamakh have all been linked with moves to Anfield in recent weeks, but for whatever reasons, nothing has materialised on any of those fronts.
Sunderland have today done their best to rule out the possibility of Jones moving to Liverpool, however I have a feeling we haven’t heard the end of this. With all due respect to Sunderland, I would love to see Jones make the move to Merseyside. It would be fascinating to see Jones partner Fernando Torres in a Liverpool front two. I personally think it would work wonders, but whether the move goes ahead, we’ll have to wait and see.

a BIG NO! not a liverpool player, not by a long way. i would rather have a 33 year old ruud van nistelrooy, than this donkey! its a sad state of affairs when the most successful team in british football history has to go “cap in hand” to sunderland to “borrow” their player.

what on hell does he have to give us

What’s wrong with using Krisztián Németh? or any of our other young reserves, who knows is they will respond to the step up unless they get the opportunity?

Rafa please play Babel up front! He is the man we need and once he gets a few goals the new partner for Torres!
January 19th, 2010 @ 3:28 pm
“a new name entered the frame today” – no this has been going on since the start of Jan…
Noblelox – Németh is currently on loan at AEK Athens (and is considering a permament move there). Ngog obviously isn’t up to the task of being a lone striker, i would however like to see him use Pachecho more.
Jones isn’t such a bad choice, yes when compared to the others we’ve been linked with so far, Van Nistlerooy would be best. But Jones is proven in the PL to score and he has a bit of pace about him so tatics wise we wouldn’t have to change too much.

I agree wiv jon play babel up front but i would like 2 c jones as a back up fo torres or even play alongside of him, because of his attributes hes fast, strong, goal scorer someone that could replace torres however babel has a different gameplay to torres and jones.(but babel would be very good upfront if he learns how to hold up the ball slightly better he could be a liverpool star)

We’ve actually already signed Chamakh, he’s joining in the summer.
January 19th, 2010 @ 4:56 pm
Rob, lets be honest, that was a lie!
January 19th, 2010 @ 5:09 pm
Well, tbh, it really wasn’t
January 19th, 2010 @ 7:05 pm
no way near a liverpool, especially not for £12 million. V.nistelrooy on loan would be ok or bojan (Barcelona)
January 19th, 2010 @ 9:28 pm
Jones is a class act and would be good for Liverpool.
Unfortunately he won’t be going anywhere this January.
January 20th, 2010 @ 1:23 pm
no way ;-
1 KEEP GERRARD AT ALL COST
2 invest in joe hart, victor moses, shawcross, mancienne, johnson, romelu lukaku and rodwell.
3 give a chance to bruna, ecclestone, amoo, pacheco, kelly, darby, spearing, nemeth.
4 get rid of babel degen aquilani riera plessis cavalieri aurelio lucas itandje kyrgiagkos etc…
