It will be a lot less than what de Jong is currently on at Barcelona. I am still not buying that he is 100% nailed on going to Livarpool either, regardless of their giddyness. united looked set in signing Gakpo

I think if it was nailed on like they say they wouldnt be publiclly trying to court him through their media mouth pieces. Im of the opinion he gave them an answer they didnt like so trying to pull out all the stops in any way they can. Because if it was nailed on it would be kept quiet like gapko ect was. They are setting up to run the money narrative if they dont get him in my opinion

This all day!

The media have been laying the ground work for ages and when we come in and "snatch him" that's all everyone, including Bingo, will bang on about, not being able to compete etc.

However, if it was me I'd call their bluff...

I'd give Bernie more money and convince him to stay for the rest of his contract and play him, rodri, foden, KDB/Grealish in a diamond midfield.

I'd also do this because we have Rico, who i think will be playing regularly in our midfield alongside Phil in the very near future.....so do we need to buy Bellingham anyway?

I want us to buy Bellingham. but i do agree they are setting up the not competing narrative. if it was me and that happened id point out their spending in a press conference.

I think the meltdown amongst their fanbase if we get bellingham and gvardiol will be just as fun to watch as us signing them.

There is no way Liverpool will struggle to attract top players this summer if they aren't in next season's Champions League.

I don't think it would affect the decision of Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder Jude Bellingham..

If he is keen on going to Liverpool in the first place, then Bellingham will surely believe that his presence would help the club be back involved in the Champions League the following campaign.

He only turns 20 in June so I doubt he would be bothered about missing out for one season in that competition because he has got so many years ahead of him to play in it.

If Klopp does need to persuade Bellingham - or anyone else - he can always point at his record with Liverpool. So far, the Reds have finished in the top four in every full season since he took charge in October 2015. If they don't make it this time, then there is nothing to suggest it is anything other than a hiccup

This isn't even true, they finished 8th in 16/17.

Football journalism is abysmal.

We need to freshen the team up mate as we can’t keep going season in season out with the sane squad because as we are seeing now the wheels are starting to break . Look at fergie with Utd when they were winning everything he always let one of the big guns move on. Because he knew when it was time to freshen up and we cannot keep players on sentiment alone as we will end up with an aging slow team over took by the big challenging teams . Pep will need to be ruthless come the summer

I agree we can't sit still, but i'm intrigued to see where Pep thinks Rico will end up playing.
To me he is a midfielder and he looks a natural there, more-so than a right back.

Even though there's talk of Bernie leaving, i do think him and Foden would be the perfect box to box midfielders for us next season.

We definitely need a natural left back/left wing back and a left footed forward and i'd try and find a right back/right wing back too, but we'll see.
 
Becoming more of an open secret we’re in for him. A month or so ago it was Liverpool or Real with a hint of Chelsea thrown in - that’s how I liked it.

I expect we’ve already done the legwork and know by now if he wants to join us. Doubt we’d waste time putting effort into a huge chunk of our budget on a player who hasn’t made his mind up in March.

This. Same with haaland, we knew he was ours by this time last year.
If its not a goer we will have already moved on.

My pal on the (slight) inside said before xmas that we are going full on, balls out for him

I don't think it's ever been a secret, open or otherwise. For some reason, the media decided to go with Liverpool & Madrid as his likely destination up until recently. It makes you think that they've had a steer from Liverpool that they've conceded defeat.

I think its been a bit clear that it was never fully done to liverpool as they wouldnt be so public in their courting of him even past few days the press asking trent about bellingham. Its all going to be an embarassing pr stunt when it doent work, but we know thats when he will be hammered in press accused of picking money.
 
Hopefully today's result puts an end to the recent press about him going to Utd. We-o with the impeccable timing as usual.

I agree with you but it has given Livarpool a little boost (although they still have to find the money)
 
i know the rags were shite yesterday but i really dont want to see Bellingham in that dipper team when they perform like that! We need to get him.
