Mainoo was not allowed to join a team on loan during the summer, but he still seems to be unhappy with his situation.

Jones, who has worked with the club's academy, spoke about Mainoo's potential departure, saying, "I really admire Kobbie as a player. I enjoyed watching him play and remember his first start against Everton. He had a great game, controlling the pace of the match and showing maturity. He continued to play well throughout the season.

However, it seems that Mainoo is currently out of favor with the team's manager, who has stated that Bruno will be the primary choice for a certain position. This may make it difficult for Mainoo to get regular playing time, especially since the team is not participating in European competitions this season.

Jones thinks that if Mainoo doesn't get the playing time he wants by Christmas and January, he may try to secure a loan move to another team.
