Jude Bellingham: Generational and Defining for LFC
It’s amazing in football what appears to develop when nothing can actually happen isn’t. The performances of Jude Bellingham for England at the World Cup, pictures with Hendo or Trent and the tweet from Christian Falk will only seek to add more fuel to the roaring bonfire of hysteria. This is a generational player who Liverpool appear on the surface to have a real possibility of securing. What happens between now and next summer could well define so much in …

Two World Cup Stand-Outs that Liverpool could target in January
The 2022 World Cup has divided opinion so far, some have loved the drama of the group stage while others have been disappointed with the lack of quality football on display. The group stage was marked by poor quality games, in particular some of the worst defending you could ever expect to see at the highest level of professional football. The round of 16 has gone as expected at time of writing with the Netherlands, Argentina, France, England, Croatia and …

Could Virgil van Dijk Emulate Fabio Cannavaro & Win the Ballon d'Or?
In 2006 Fabio Cannavaro led his Italian national team to a marvellous World Cup victory in Germany. During that year the legendary centre back was also named Serie A player of the year (with Juventus), before claiming the La Liga title with Real Madrid in the 2006/07 campaign. This period solidified the former Napoli graduate as perhaps the greatest defender on the planet, and quite rightly saw the 136-cap Italy captain named as 2006 FIFA Player Of The Year and …

Why Kylian Mbappe should never be a Liverpool transfer target
The Liverpool FC buyout saga has rumbled on, and much of the fanbase will be quietly (or not so quietly) compiling their own dream teams for the new ownership to go and buy. There are of course my own wants and desires, and I would love the Reds to be as competitive as possible, but there has to be limitations on those dreams.
The foundations and history of this club has to be maintained, and no one player should ever …

Salah's Swan Song?
After Mohamed Salah started the 2020/21 campaign with a red-hot performance against Leeds, is it time for us Liverpool fans to recognise the real possibility that this season may be his last at the club?
Salah joined Liverpool from Serie A side AS Roma in the summer of 2017 after Jürgen Klopp was convinced he was the right fit for his squad by The Reds' scouting team. Speaking just months after Salah's arrival at the club, Klopp said:
"Our scouting …

Mbappé to sign new PSG contract amid transfer rumours - but insists on 'gentleman's agreement' to be included
PSG star Kylian Mbappé looks set to sign a contract extension with the French Ligue 1 champions as long as there is a specific 'gentleman's agreement' included.
As reported in the Mirror, release clauses are actually illegal in French football contracts so Mbappé has asked for an arrangement where he would still be able to leave should the right club come looking for him.

The one Real Madrid player Liverpool should sign
Madrid isn’t usually a city Liverpool go shopping in but the Reds never pass up the opportunity to bag themselves a bargain. Perhaps the most opportunistic club in the world right now, Michael Edwards and the recruitment team know how to find value for money in what is a grossly inflated market.
The Premier League leaders have been linked with Isco recently while Marco Asensio is reportedly a long-term target, too. But it isn’t either of the playmakers who Liverpool …

Kai Havertz vs Houssem Aouar: Who should Liverpool sign?
If reports are accurate, Liverpool plan to flex their financial muscle in the near future. Countless outlets have linked the Premier League leaders with Jadon Sancho while Kylian Mbappe remains a dream target for fans. The new link to Nike has only strengthened the belief that one of these two could soon be plying their trade at Anfield.
However, they aren’t the only players reportedly on the club’s wishlist. According to David Maddock of the Daily Mail, Liverpool are long-term …

Where would Mbappe fit in in 2020 Liverpool?
It is one of the transfer rumours that simply won't go away.
Kylian Mbappe is one of world football's hottest talents, and the young Frenchman never seems to be too far from the gossip columns.

Jürgen Klopp has previously spoken of his admiration …
