It's not Championship Manager where players have a set position and play excrement if you play them out of position. For all the talk of Jones not being a striker, his goal return and general play last season was very good/promising.

He's an attacking player, and he's a good finisher/likes to score goals. If he's played up front and performs well, then that's good enough for me!

But he's clearly better as an attacking midfielder. So many of his goals came from runs from deep, so it's be such a waste to play him up there. We need to get a striker who's athletic and can create space for jones to run into. With Osbourne and dembele on either side, it could have the potential to be a potent attack.

I don't know how you can say that with confidence as he never played that position for us. He is clearly a scorer of goals from whatever position he plays as his previous record attests, so it's up to the manager to find his best position. That may well be as a striker as he develops his game over time.

               Rose       Osbourne

                       Vernon

As it stands, would like a natural Left back and new striker but it still doesn't look to shabby

Jones will be best utilitsed with another striker who can occupy defenders up there with him, whether that be a strong hold up man (like Vernon) or someone who's more athletic (like that Walker) it doesn't matter but he's not a loan front man, he looked most dangerous when running from deep.

We know that, he's on a two and a half year deal.
