I've been a big fan of Jones over the years, but he hasn't progressed as much as I'd hoped and his goal-scoring record isn't too impressive.
That said, he would be more useful to us than Ryan Babel.

agreed
this would be nice as he's big, fast and powerful. i haven't seen much of him, though. what's he like?
According to some Sunderland fans Jones is known to be a bit lazy and has a poor attitude on the training ground. He just doesn't seem to give a shit and Bruce is rumoured to be at the end of his tether with Jones.
Even though he'd be a decent back up, I'm not sure adding him into the mix right now would be a great idea.

i just have a random hunch he'd step up if he came here.
He can't be as lazy or half arsed as Babel surely
is he not fast? i thought people said he was fast when we were first linked with him.
When I see him on the telly I'm struck by his basic massivenessity.

No players are fast anymore really. If he isn't lightning he's now deemed slow.

it's a thing of relativity.

So let's see. Which of the boxes that we need ticking does Kenwyne?
Pace? Nope
Creativity? Nope
Width? Nope
and most importantly
Goals? Err nope.
I'm whelmed by this idea.

Cover for Torres: Check.

That's OTT. Since Bent's arrival he's been playing more as a target man, which gives him less scope to exercise those qualities, but in the past he's shown he does have them in his locker. We badly need a back-up/stand-in for Torres and we could do worse than this guy.

1. to submerge; engulf.
2. to overcome utterly; overwhelm: whelmed by misfortune.

I think he is neither overwhelmed or underwhelmed. Just whelmed.
We could stick him in defence. We could do with someone who can head the ball.

In that respect he's perfect for a swap deal with Babel

I'd rather keep Babel.

Agreed and the extra height for set pieces would be good not to mention them muscle.

God no please. We've suffered enough. Kenwyne is fucking bollocks.

Given that The People's track record of having the inside scoop on any clubs transfer business, let alone Liverpools is practically non-existant, I wouldn't be too worried just yet.
