It's the Bellingham lies that frustrate, not the logic
So, an already-dreadful season has just got even worse for Liverpool.
For many Reds supporters, there was a genuine chance of Jude Bellingham coming to Anfield this summer, even though others always felt it was a pipe dream.
All along, the 19-year-old has seemingly always favoured a move to Liverpool, liking the idea of playing under Jurgen Klopp, and in his playing style, not to mention emulating his boyhood hero Steven Gerrard.
Sadly, it is the cynics who have been …
Three summer signings to get Liverpool back on track
The upcoming summer transfer window could be a really exciting one for Liverpool supporters, with the club tipped to make a number of moves at the end of the season.
Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joel Matip could all need replacing as they continue to be linked with moves away from Anfield.
Here is a list of three summer signings that Jurgen Klopp could turn to as he looks to begin a new era on Merseyside:
Jude Bellingham:

Which Of England’s Current Squad Should LFC Target?
With the international break just about at a close, it has perhaps offered a little more insight into how England will build for the next major tournament. The European Championships are in June 2024; therefore the next 15 months will be about players solidifying their spots in that future squad. Some players, like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez, will be fighting to get back into reckoning, whereas the likes of Curtis Jones & Harvey Elliott may hold a desire to …
Tony Evans: Missing Out On Bellingham Could Be A Blessing
The international break gives everyone a chance to take stock. Where do Liverpool go in the final third of the season?
The ideal scenario would be to knock Manchester City out of the title race and then bring them back into play by beating Arsenal – dispatching Chelsea on the way. It is a tricky run of games, though. The season could be over very quickly.
Is there any reason to be optimistic? It’s still hard to believe that a …
Klopp is taking risks with Bellingham obsession
The transfer window has closed and Liverpool have not addressed their biggest need.
The Reds entered this season very obviously short of quality in midfield and with significant question marks hanging over each of the existing midfielders.
Thiago Alcantara is an incredible footballer but he is 31, soon to be 32, years of age and for the majority of his career has had injury problems.
Fabinho struggled toward the end of last season and has also had injury problems but …
Klopp Presser Embargo: Something of Note
The embargoed sections have been a bit dull in recent times let’s be honest. That’s been linked to the woeful performances and desperation for further reinforcements, but there’s been very little of note hidden ‘til late into the evening. The day before an FA Cup replay against Wolves surprisingly bucked the trend and to little surprise, it was the ultimate ‘tier one’ journalist in Paul Joyce that prompted it all. We take a look at key parts from their exchange …
Is Matheus Nunes the Midfield Alternative?
One of my Anfield Index colleagues has been compiling a comparison piece that relates this this one. The topic of that article will be a direct comparison between Matheus Nunes and Jude Bellingham. The latter is perhaps the most linked player to Anfield in all of football history, which is a very difficult prize to have won. As much as we would like to believe we will spend that sort of money on one player, it’s far more likely that …
Bellingham Funds: Time to Break Glass as Emergency
It’s annoying to use a quote that Gary Neville’s made in recent times, but as he’s stated “things are never as bad as they seem and never as good as they appear”. Things don’t appear to be good with Liverpool’s team and especially the midfield right now, but it’s not beyond repair and the season isn’t over as some Reds seem to be intimating. Certain plans will need to be accelerated and the intentions may have to change, but in …
Why Nunes as a Bellingham Alternative for Liverpool is Unacceptable
Welcome to 2023, everyone - Liverpool are still an absolute nightmare to watch.
Monday's dire 3-1 defeat away to Brentford was the latest in a long line of unacceptable performances this season and they were deservedly punished for it.
A run of four Premier League wins in a row may have been encouraging, but ultimately, those results had only continued to paper over the cracks.
Just as Liverpool's latest act of ineptitude got underway in west London, news was breaking …
Why Liverpool should favour Jude Bellingham over Enzo Fernandez
So, are we really going to end up living in a world where both Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez are in Liverpool shirts next season?
It's a mouthwatering prospect, that's for sure.
This week's transfer rumours have teased us all that Liverpool could genuinely be in a position where both are signed in the next six months or so, as Jurgen Klopp looks to rebuild his midfield.
The question is: what if the Reds can only sign one of them? …
