So you did! 
I just saw a comment from someone on instagram saying they ādonāt see Jones becoming the new Gerrard so I would sell himā and it reminded me that there is a reason McDonalds coffee has a warning on it that the contents might be hot.

I donāt see him going this summer. We need a local core ā we need homegrown players at the very least, and we arenāt exactly blessed in that department
We should keep him and I want to keep him. The only way we might sell is if he is up for it, we consider the fee as all profit, and we put the dough against another homegrown midfielder such as Wharton or Anderson.
But for me, even if we are getting someone like the two mentioned, there is plenty of room for Jones and I hope he signs a new deal.

Curtis should be kept but under a new manager, that will give him a chance, hopefully to shine.As with others under Slot he has had little chance.
Curtis isnāt perfect, but he is the one that I trust to keep possession better than any other player we have at the moment and for me he should have been used this year far more than Macca & Grav.

Jones apparently would like to stay if he was āthe main man.ā
https://www.thisisanfield.com/2026/04/curtis-jones-liverpool-transfer-inter-milan-update-2026/
Iām assuming that means that he wants to be a regular starter, rather than the āmain manā in the way I would traditionally understand it (an undroppable member of the starting XI, ala Virgil or Szobo or Alisson or peak Mo).
If itās the former - I can see his frustration. I think heās been excellent at RB in the last two matches, but my guess is that he wants to play in the midfield. Iām just not sure he makes it into a midfield three ahead of Szobo/Wirtz/Grav. Especially if we add Anderson and/or Wharton this summer.
Iād love to keep him as a squad player for rotation purposes, giving him regular minutes without making him a guaranteed starter. His ball control, dribbling, and passing have always been very good. He also brings a certain type of arrogance and confidence and Scouser pride that I love to see, even if it doesnāt always serve him well on the pitch. Heās versatile enough to play all around the midfield, at RB, and as a forward (in a pinch), so heās useful and a valuable squad player.
But the truth is, if he expects to be undroppable, he can go play for a lesser club because heās not good enough to displace any of our regulars permanently.
I personally donāt think he would accept the idea of potentially become a permanent RB option here. I donāt even think thatās our plan, either. Very interesting one to follow this summer. Iād like him to stay, but not at any ācostā.

Heās much better than Gravenberch.
He should have had more game time this season. So wanting more minutes isnāt a surprise.
I donāt think itās even about being a midfield shoe in, just playing minutes in the midfield.
I feel itās poor squad management particularly in rotation. This was mentioned last season so isnāt a surprise (Harvey looked for a way out and went).
We will end up having the small squad Slot likes and noone to fill the home grown status.
What Iād take from any move by Jones to leave is that Slot is staying!

Iāve always liked Curtis, and defended him against the body of opinion that has wanted rid of him over the last few years.
But the lad has shown absolutely nothing to suggest he should be a first name in Liverpoolās first team (where we want to be, not so much this season). If Jones is the fourth player for a three man midfield, weāre doing really well.
I suspect that Jones has a high enough opinion of himself to believe he should be weighed in to the save level as the money that has just been put on Gravenberch, and will likely be needed to secure Szobozslai. In which case I think heāll leave.
I think he shouldāve played more this season considering Macās form for big parts of this season and that it is Jonesā best position in this formation. Sometimes maybe even instead of Gravenberch (who started the season well, but also had issues with time). I donāt think itās only about money, but having a more important role. And perhaps when he takes everything into account, heād be open for a new challenge (even if it means being in the same position as heās now here, but with a better chance to become that starting XI player).

He is definitely good enough for a 4 into 3 situation, and I agree he should have played more this season.
If he sees himself as more than a 4 into 3 man, then I do think there will be a departure. If a new manager is coming he might want to see how he fares in the shake up.
If he does go the need for homegrown intensifies, and I think that would make Adam Wharton quite likely.

He has been better than both Macca and Grav this year.
One of our problems 8s keeping possession and another is passing through the 3rds of the pitch and his stats for progressive passes are excellent.

Id keep him. Probably be the last of our midfielders IĀ“d sell.
HeĀ“s quite versatile, not on a high wage and homegrown. IĀ“d actually put him back in midfield and tell him to keep picking out Wirtz like he was before.
Obviously idĀ“sign better midfielders in the summer but as a backup heĀ“s a good option.

Like him to stay, at least get a look in under a possible new manager first.
Given Slots tendency to use the same old faces,if Slot stays, he may as well go, he has shown enough to be given time under someone else.

Why didnāt Slot play the Jones - Szobo double pivot like against Fulham again? It was by far our best midfield performance over the past 2 months.
