I wonder how much difference it's actually going to make TBH. The fact that Jones hasn't been getting that time despite injuries elsewhere in the squad tells its own story about how the management see him, currently at any rate.

Jones has been injured himself no?
Lucas mkII.
This also means either one of Keita or Ox will be put on the transfer market very soon.
Melo's clearly bought as a squad player and my guess is that he'll be replacing Ox, i.e. if anyone wants him.

Eh? The market has ended and if they go in Jan (which is unlikely), it'll be for a nominal fee.
Hopefully we can get a couple freebies ourselves next summar. Some decent players becoming available.
Yeah, even if they go, you'd still have to replace them.
I still think we'd go big on Jude either in Jan or the next window, which seem the more likely.
Big on Jude plus two freebies.
Yes, but not the whole time. He's been on the bench quite frequently without getting much, if any, game time on those occasions. My reading of it is that Klopp and his coaches don't think Jones has shown enough quality often enough when chances have come his way and, if that's the case, I'm afraid I think they're right.
at least we know a song about the lad will be easy if he turns out to be good ...

Jones has done nothing so far to convince me that he’s going to be a shoe in regular first team starter. Even with game time, I don’t see it. Elliott was plain to see, as is Carvalho.
Swing Me-lo, sweet chariot?
Jones is likely a talent bracket below Elliott and maybe Carvalho, but there's plenty more to come from him. He's needs some injury free spells, opportunities in the cups, and to start moving the ball faster.
There's no need to rush to judgement on him at 21, especially in the context of an aging and injury-prone midfield.

I think this is the key to his development - if he masters this, I actually think there's quite a player there. He's got a good engine, tough, good passer and a good shot - but he's mentally slow ...
The other point worth making (again) is that we don't necessarily need Jones to be good enough to be a guaranteed starter.
If he can stay fit and contribute as a squaddie (which he's definitely got the talent for), that's still a big win for us (assuming he's happy to play that role).

I like that.
Would change the last line to;
His name is Arthur Melo…
You can pay me later..
Anyone's better than Chris Martin, even George Ezra and his fucking nursery rhymes.
Doesn't look too dissimilar to Thiago in terms of stature, ability to turn and having good close control. He's also got that ability to stroke the ball about effortlessly. His game does look a bit slow and methodical, but he will hopefully get up to speed. It's a bit of a project signing, we know there's talent there, it's down to Klopp to make him realise it. Too many times we've given players a sort of last chance saloon opportunity and they've failed, let's hope this lad feels like he's finally at home with a big club.
