Kenwyne Jones to Liverpool is one of those persistent rumours that simply will not go away and no matter the comments made by the player himself or anyone associated with the rumours the press are completely convinced that Jones will be a Red next season.

Today The Sun (Yes I know, a rag) blasted the headline Kenywne has a Kop dream and went on to quote him, thing is the quotes don’t quite say that, this is what he apparently said,

“If one of the world’s big clubs comes in for you, it’s understandable a player might have the desire to go to that next level.

“Until you sign a contract with a new club it’s all just talk. January was a crazy time and now I have to focus on the games ahead.

“The manager spoke to me. The reassuring speech came out to let me know the club still wanted me. That is always nice to hear.

“But sometimes a big situation like the transfer story can make it hard for the manager to say anything.
“All I can do to prove I am committed to Sunderland by showing it in games.”

The last line I find compelling when he says he is committed to Sunderland, now we all know that is a load of crap from players most of the time but the fact that the press can take his quotes and turn it in to something else just goes to show that they (the press) are convinced he is coming to Anfield next season and will not let the story die down.

Personally I am of the opinion that Jones will be coming as well, just far too many rumours to simply dismiss the possibility.
