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 …

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 …

Should Liverpool be interested in Youri Tielemans?
Youri Tielemans is on the move this summer. According to reports, the midfield maestro is set to be available for as little as £25million due to his contract situation. The 24-year-old, once touted as a £60million-rated midfielder, has just 12 months left on his deal and Leicester do not want to lose him on a free.

Liverpool have been linked with a lot of midfielders this summer. There’s a new name every week and then, after a while, you see the same ones reappearing on the list. Youri Tielemans was once again back on the agenda this weekend after reports emerged claiming he’s top of the club’s summer shortlist.

Georginio Wijnaldum's long goodbye finally ended in recent days when it was confirmed that Dutchman would be joining Paris Saint Germain.
After 179 appearances in Liverpool red, Wijnaldum -- whose contract at the Anfield club expires at the end of this month -- will earn a hefty payday in Paris.

Several names have been linked, including Leicester City's Youri …

Youri Tielemans: A Potential Liverpool Target?
For the second time in consecutive seasons, Leicester City missed out on Champions League football on the last day of the season.
The Foxes knew that they needed to beat Spurs -- as well as relying on results going their way in the Liverpool and Chelsea games -- by a big margin in order to finish inside the top four.
Despite taking the lead through a Jamie Vardy penalty, Brendan Rodgers' team eventually succumbed to a 4-2 defeat and were …

Are Leicester a threat to Liverpool's title charge?
Picture the scene: It's mid-August, the Premier League season is about to get underway and you're told that Man City beating Leicester might be a good thing four months later.
Unfathomable, right?
Yet here we are, 16 matches into the league campaign, with Brendan Rodgers doing his very best to upset his former club.
Liverpool continued their outrageous form last weekend, making it 46 points from a possible 48 this season. On top of that, they are the only points …

10 Young Players That Should be Catching Liverpool's Eye (Part 2)
Tonguy Ndombele
Lyon’s elegantly destructive central midfielder Tanguy Ndombele was called up to the French National Squad for the first time for this international break, and that comes off an extremely impressive 2018. After signing permanently for Lyon in the summer (for a meagre £10 million) after spending the 2017/18 season on loan there from Amiens, Ndombele has become Lyon’s most impressive talent.
Playing alongside Houssem Aouar, Lucas Tousart or Nabil Fekir in Bruno Genesio’s midfield three, Ndombele is tasked …

How much money Jurgen Klopp was given to invest in his Liverpool …

DoF Fantasy Series Part 3: How I'd spend £100m at Liverpool
Today I came across an idea - or rather stole it from the AnfieldIndex guys, in particular it was an article written by @SamMcGuire90 which you can read here.
Basically he was told to think like a Director of Football or Sports Director - or whatever name you want to use for that exact position - and concentrate only on the transfer aspect of it, leaving all the boring organisational stuff behind. He was also told to work with a budget of £100m but …
