      Liverpool swoop for centre-back Jones

      Published 23:00 10/06/11
      By Alan Nixon

      Liverpool have signed Plymouth centre-half Lloyd Jones - just days after missing out on his namesake and fellow stopper Phil.

      Reds manager Kenny Dalglish agreed a six-figure compensation fee with the cash-strapped Devon club and sorted out a three-year contract with the Wales youth international.

      Jones (Lloyd, not Phil) impressed Liverpool during a trial at the end of the season and Dalglish took time out from chasing his big-money targets to talk the kid into signing.

      Several other leading clubs, including Everton, had an interest in Jones but the lure of Anfield and Dalglish won the day.

      No worries, I checked a Plymouth Argylle site and some of them didn't know him either.

      Honestly? I find it hard to get over excited about the signing of a 15 year old I've never heard of but as he's now a Red - congratulations young fella, I hope you become a great.

      This may sound wierd but I have a mate who knows Lloyd. From what I've heard he is a tall lad who is a real talent.

      Shouldn't this be a player thread?

      Anyway, best of luck Lloyd, hope you work hard and earn a place in the starting XI in a few years.

      He's 15, I don't think he signed him with the idea of playing him this season.

      It's the short term mentality that persists and persists, it's a hard perception for some to grasp, you can't just look at tomorrow, you need to look at all our tomorrows.

      Welcome to LFC Lloyd, hope you flourish here!


      What's with the England flag?!  :P  He's Welsh!

      ...According to The Daily Mirror, “Jones (Lloyd, not Phil) impressed Liverpool during a trial at the end of the season and Dalglish took time out from chasing his big-money targets to talk the kid into signing.” Lloyd Jones is in fact, like Phil Jones, a centerback and he is in fact a Welshman that Liverpool managed to sign from Plymouth.

      I'll give him a few more weeks.  If he doesn't cut it, get rid :f_tongueincheek:

      edit: @whyohwhy - in FM when real players in the game retire they are replaced by randomly regenerated players with fairly generic names, Roddenberry just so happened to get a Lloyd Jones who was also a CB.  If you look up the top, you'll see the game year is 2043 and this particular Lloyd Jones (who is English instead of Welsh) is only 27yo.  It's not actually him.  

      I'd say it's a coincidence but how much cooler does it sounds saying that it's an omen that he will be a legendary player for us :D
