Selling Jones 'just doesn't make sense'

Curtis Jones should view working under new boss Andoni Iraola as an opportunity to establish himself at Liverpool, believes podcaster and fan Ben Kent. BBC Radio Merseyside discussed Jones' uncertain situation after the club rejected a £21.7m bid from Inter Milan for the midfielder. "I just think it's really sad for him and the club," Kent said. "He's not established himself as a first choice player in the XI yet but he's within that core of about 15 or 16 players. "It's just the fact that he's a Scouser – he grew up supporting the club and I just think it's really sad that the club aren't wanting to keep him because of that. It just doesn't make sense to me at all. "He's not a youngster anymore, he's not coming through the ranks as an 18 or 19-year-old, he's 25, he should be establishing himself as a first-team player. He played for England a couple of times last year and scored that brilliant goal against Greece. So he's probably got aspirations to have been in the World Cup squad so you can understand him wanting to play. "But we've got a new manager coming in and he might give him a chance. If I was Curtis, I'd be looking at it as a massive opportunity now." Hear the full discussion by clicking play above or listen on BBC Sounds here
