Bellingham Blow-Up: Hold….For Now…
For anyone familiar with tune, the Boomtown Rats had it right when news comes through in the morning like it does. If you’d believed that the international break would be a quiet and calmer period after all the turbulence of the current campaign, David Ornstein did his best to dispel that myth with his news that Liverpool are looking ‘increasingly unlikely’ to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham this summer. One glance at social media will show you a variety of …

Do Liverpool’s Targets Depend on Champions League Qualification?
Neil Jones has stated this week that there is potentially a list of players that the Reds will target, though only if Champions League qualification is secured this season. Failure to secure a top four finish in the Premier League (or win the European Cup) would therefore make such players unobtainable, thereby forcing Liverpool to shop from a more secondary list of players. This kind of admission is very worrying, certainly when you consider the form of Jurgen Klopp’s side …

January Sales Shopping: Konrad Laimer v Youri Tielemans
Famous sayings can be true but also work against each other. Everybody loves a bargain, but at the same time, you do get what you pay for. Liverpool’s midfield needs are great and many hands make light work. The January window is notorious for the challenges that it brings, which means Julian Ward and co will have their work cut out. For all the top names linked, FSG seem unlikely to let the purse strings be loosened too much so …

January Attacker: Cody Gakpo v Noah Okafor
Liverpool’s announcement of their Dubai training camp and friendlies against AC Milan and Lyon, will do little to switch focus away from other matters such as takeovers and transfers. With planning now well underway for January all focus appears locked on midfield, but there may be another area of the pitch Jurgen Klopp seeks to reinforce. With Roberto Firmino entering the final few months of his current agreement and remembering the impact Luis Diaz made at the turn of this …

Will Logic Prevail For Liverpool In This Window…
One of the saddest moments for any football supporter, is when their teams summer transfer business is prematurely complete. Now and and again, I’ll type in the name of a player we’ve been linked to, and read only the twitter threads that state a signing is imminent. Anything that offers bad news (often logic) is dismissed, and I start to envisage what could be. A deep dive to uncover some background on the player might come next, with a thorough …

The Silly Season is (nearly) over...
Silly season(n)
1: a period (such as late summer) when the mass media often focus on trivial or frivolous matters for lack of major news stories
2: a period marked by frivolous, outlandish, or illogical activity or behaviour.
There’s been a lot of silliness. It’s roughly two months since the Champions League final. A disappointing end on the pitch to what was nearly the greatest season of all time. A near tragedy off the pitch. We didn’t quite get over the line …

Ollie Watkins Should Be A Transfer Liverpool Avoid
The transfer rumour mill has gone into overdrive in the last few weeks.
Liverpool -- like every other club -- have had several players linked with a move to Anfield.
The latest name to be mentioned in the same breath as the Reds is Aston Villa forward, Ollie Watkins. Football Insider claims that the six-time European Cup winners are interested in adding the former Brentford forward to their attacking stock in the summer transfer window.
Jurgen Klopp and his squad …

Will Liverpool Repeat Relegation Signing Trick With Sander Berge
If you analyze Liverpool's transfer business over the last few years, one thing sticks out: they are not shy of signing players from relegated clubs.
Georginio Wijnaldum, a key cog in the club's recent successes, arrived from relegated Newcastle United in the summer of 2016. Likewise, Andy Robertson -- arguably the world's finest left-back -- joined Liverpool from the demoted Hull City in the summer window of 2017. To complete the hattrick, Xherdan Shaqiri swapped Championship bound Stoke for Anfield …

Why Liverpool Need To Swerve Patson Daka Transfer
The transfer rumour mill is about to ramp its intensity in the weeks and months to come.
Liverpool has been linked to several players already, with the forward position the area where the bulk of new player speculation has been focused.
Patson Daka is a name continuously mentioned in the same breath as the Reds. The 22-year-old Zambian international has been in sublime form for RB Salzburg this season, notching 20 goals in 18 Austrian Bundesliga appearances.
However, despite Daka's …

Saša Kalajdžić: A Potential BIG Signing for Liverpool?
By all accounts, Liverpool will focus much of their transfer efforts this summer on signing a forward.
With question marks over the futures of Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi, the Reds seem primed to recruit a squad player who can compete with -- and not replace -- Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Diogo Jota.
Several players have already been linked to the Anfield team with Leeds United's Raphinha -- who, as a wide attacker, would be a continuation …
