Given a choice, a playmaker like FDJ makes more sense for us than this guy?
Jude Bellingham

Yeah I would prefer FDJ next summer
Definitely having watched Jude he seems more a box to box type. I agree with some of the comments that there's a overrating of him going on but I believe he will come good with time and maturity in his game.
Is all the noise regarding him being nailed on for Liverpool next season legit or is it being led by fan sites and wishful thinking only?
To be fair it's early in the season and he has often been Dortmund's best midfielder last season. They are still looking for a new balance in their team and actually after Özcan made his debut yesterday I think they are slowly settling. He seems to be a quite good partner for Bellingham so I think Bellingham's impact will increase again.
Haven't really seen him. Is he a complete midfielder (Keane) or is he a Hollywood midfielder (Gerrard)? Who's the better comparison if either?
Maybe somewhere in between? He definitely can do everything including dirty work in midfield, but it looks like he is at his best paired with a true DM that allows him free box-to-box movement while covering the space he leaves behind. Like Casemiro did for Modric.
The latter
What's wrong with his attitude? Like I do know he comes across as ultra competitive but surely that's a good thing if he's in your team
Overrated and head firmly up his own arse. Would fit right into Ole’s cultural reset.
Liverpool fans. That’s all you need to know
He moans and complains a bit too much if his teammates do something wrong. A bit more respectful behaviour would be nice.
Fecks sake.
Does his teammates take issue with that? Sounds like he wears his heart on his sleeve and is demanding around him. Is it a bad thing?
Great player but massively overrated
He just turned 19 years old, so that's got to be a positive assessment.
Don’t know if I’ve got it in me to go through the De Jong saga again next summer as it nearly broke me so for that reason alone I’d go with Bellingham, alongside a pure out and out defensive midfielder like Casemiro I think Bellingham would thrive.
Sometimes he gets a little nudge, so I think it's not a serious problem for the team, but at least they aren't always happy experiencing it.
I think Bellingham will be the saga of the summer next year with City, Liverpool, Chelsea & Utd all interested so you might be hoping to jump from the frying pan into the fire
No thanks. Crazily overrated.
Crazy talent. Reminds me of Pogba. Just hope the Liverpool deal hasn‘t been signed in blood. Don’t want De Jong anywhere near here. So Jude would be perfect.
Would much rather Caicedo.
Madrid too.
He does strike me as a player Klopp would develop into an absolute monster, so I really hope he doesn't go there. He reminds me of a young Bryan Robson in some ways, albeit without the goalscoring knack. All-action all-rounder, big presence on the pitch. Needs a good coach to develop him though.
Klopp won’t be there long enough to develop him.
He's class, but will get disrespected because he's English, and a mad amount on here hold that against players.
He’s an incredibly talented young player but I don’t think we’ll be in for him.
Casemiro
Bruno Eriksen/Fred
Is probably our best starting midfield at the moment or:
He turned us down once though so I doubt he’ll join us.

I absolutely think Bellingham could take the Eriksen/ Fred place but a De Jong is a better fit for that midfield.Bruno

Just go for his brother, let Liverpool fund Dortmund for once.
Well they were right about Mbappe being bought for them by Nike, so it stands to reason...
This is the most ridiculous, bullshit post I have ever read on RedCafe. Poor English players, so oppressed! Maguire is world class, but being English gets no love.
For feck's sake!
I don't see what everyone sees in him. I'm probably in the minority though.
Liverpool have been waiting for him the past 18 months, I feel like it's going to happen unfortunately.
Not seen enough for him but from the little he doesn't suit what we need. Liverpool are a good fit. We need a CM playmaker
I'd love to see Kobbie Mainoo develop into a better player than him.
We might just be able to time this one nicely for next summer if everything falls into place. If we can avoid looking like a total circus for the first time in about 8 years we have a chance
Kind of backed up my point here. Who is talking about Maguire? So quick to get angry about England’s brave heroes.
Likely to stay longer at Liverpool than the likes of Ancelotti, Guardiola, even Ten Hag at their current club I'd say.
What's wrong with his attitude?
He's a right moany twat then things don't go his way. Don't think that would be overly problematic, though
The only reasons that's held against players is we've paid unreasonable sums for distinctly average players. Which of our English players have proven to be good enough? They were some of the worst performers in a team that was our worst in prem history. Maguire, Rashford, Shaw, Lingard, AWB - none of them showed anything last season.
I'd argue it's the opposite where some give them an easy ride on here because they're English. Maguire gets his fair share of criticism and there are plenty that somehow think the criticism is unfair despite him becoming a walking talking meme.
I actually can't tell which way you're going now
