Alexis Mac Allister, The Perfect 10
Liverpool have completed the signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £35 million.
The player was unveiled Thursday morning after weeks of speculation, dozens of meaningless updates that all said the same thing without saying anything of note from everyone's favourite "transfer expert" and denials of any sort of deal being in the works from Brighton's local journalists.
His signing marks the first of what should be a raft …
Six Is The Magic Number: DM Please Jurgen
“The first cheque you write is for the mortgage, but the second is for the insurance.” Never has a Sandra Bullock movie had so much relevance to Liverpool’s extensive search for new midfielders. Whilst the same names are repeated in the form of Mac Allister, Mount, Gravenberch etc, there seems a disparity amongst other targets and how genuine they are depends on your belief in the source. Either way, there is a real concern amongst some Reds that a key …
Three Jude Bellingham alternatives to solve Liverpool midfield crisis
With news breaking last night that Liverpool have 'cooled' their interest in Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham, the Reds will be forced into looking at cheaper alternatives in the upcoming summer window.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Jurgen Klopp will still look to sign two or three midfielders to add depth as well as quality to an already ageing midfield area.
This decision has no doubt been intensified by the upcoming departures of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner, as their contracts …
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:

Luka Sučić & The Need for New Blood
It’s no surprise to see another player being linked that has been through the corridors of either RB Salzburg or Leipzig’s footballing machine. Despite having a recruiting model that was once so fruitful, our ability to regenerate our tired empire sees us once more looking towards their own roster of players. It’s clear that there will be a combination of expensive and smart signings (this summer), therefore the lesser known quantities may not be Jude alternatives as feared, but merely …
Why Mason Mount Might Not Suit Our Regeneration
With Chelsea spending their way towards FFP peril, it will now be only a matter of time before a huge exodus unfolds. Before the Stamford Bridge club are forced into a series of profitable sales, there will probably be one or two players that will want to depart an ever changing dressing room. As Manchester City process their own FFP implications, it seems that the Premier League has been able to alter the trajectory of overspending, with 113 charges filed …
Mason Mount: Ideal Summer Midfield Addition for Liverpool?
We are hopefully about to witness a significant rebuild of a Liverpool midfield that has needed major tweaks for some time now.
In hindsight, last summer simply had to see at least one big signing made in that area, but a mixture of FSG's unwillingness to spend and Jurgen Klopp's loyalty prevented it from happening.
Things have gone from bad to worse in the middle of the park this season, with the decline of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson particularly galling …
Could Mason Mount Be The Bellingham Alternative?
Mason Mount travels to Qatar this week for the forthcoming World Cup. His call up was never in doubt, and only an untimely injury would have scuppered his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad. This spell away from Chelsea could be the relief he needs right now, with the West London club currently in a period of disarray. With changes of ownership, changes of managers, and the recruitment of various players a constant over the last couple of years, he …
Liverpool Fall To Record Fifth Home Defeat In A Row in Chelsea Loss
Liverpool fell to club-record fifth consecutive Premier League home defeat with a 1-0 loss to Chelsea at Anfield.
Mason Mount's first-half goal separated the teams in a result that could well prove a hammer blow to the Reds' Champions League qualification prospects.
Controversy ensued when Jurgen Klopp replaced Mohamed Salah late on, despite the Egyptian looking like the host's best chance of manufacturing a goal, with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino -- both of whose performances were well below their …
