Jude Bellingham, Moises Caicedo, Declan Rice and Aurelien Tchouameni have all been heavily linked with Liverpool, only to end up elsewhere.

Bellingham feels like the emotional miss, but there is a strong argument that Liverpool need a different profile more.Caicedo was the closest challenger in the poll, and plenty of readers clearly still think he is the midfielder Liverpool should regret missing most.“As much as I’d love to see Jude in a Liverpool shirt, I think Caicedo fixes our midfield,” one supporter said.

As one reader put it: “You sense Bellingham would have generated the better connection with the Liverpool fans.”That is probably the key. Caicedo or Rice may have fixed a more obvious tactical issue, but Bellingham still feels like the one that stung Liverpool fans the most.Ironically, Tchouameni hardly got a mention.
