(Bleacher Report) An £18.5 million move appears what is the main focus in a Liverpool deal with Sunderland for young midfield starlet Jordan Henderson. The transfer has been gathering steam in the press all weekend, and now it looks like the youngster wants his agent, manager and all involved to get the deal done and dusted as soon as possible.

In what also appears a great part for the Reds is that the Daily Mail is reporting that Henderson wants the move to Anfield over a move to current Premier League Champions Manchester United.

Fernando Torres Misses the service once provided by Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso

(Bleacher Report)According to his new assistant manager, Michael Emenalo, Fernando Torres truly is at a loss without the service of Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso as quoted in today's Liverpool Echo.


The two had combined to supply Torres with the means to plunder 86 goals in 126 appearances as a Red, but he has only managed one goal since leaving in January for the, "Bigger Club," of Chelsea.

Given the fact that his move failed to bring him any silverware, and Liverpool are definitely on the rise with their new manager and owners, perhaps he is regretting it just a little bit. As is it is now the Blues without a stable management system, and an aging out squad while the Reds are once again full of enthusiasm, and looking to build with younger talent over the new years.

(Bleacher Report) After months of speculation it now seems official that Alberto Aquilani will return to Anfield to start his third season under contract as a Red. It remains to be seen if he will stay with the club, but Kenny Dalglish's statements of last month seem to make me believe he will at least start the season at Liverpool.

To Dalglish, Aquilani will be like a new signing, and it may be just the kind of new start the Roman born midfielder could use in England as he made some great displays in the last half of the 2009-2010 season before he was shipped off on loan this year by Roy Hodgson.

Jordan Henderson Becoming a Primary Target for Liverpool Manager Kenny Dalglish

(Bleacher Report) Sunderland's 20-year old midfielder Jordan Henderson is becoming a hot prospect for the Reds in recent weeks. With a high transfer fee estimated at around £20 million it is expected that it may fall through.

However, this also has just as high of a possibility of going through because of his age and the new youth injection policy of Fenway Sports Group. Henderson would be a great youthful add to a squad already stocked with young talent.

Aston Villa Forward Stewart Downing's Future Also Up in the Air

(Bleacher Report) Ashley Young's fellow attacking partner at Aston Villa, Stewart Downing, is also up in the air over his future with the Birmingham side. Seen as an alternative prospect to Ashley Young for Liverpool, Downing is also being chased by Harry Redknapp and Tottenham Hotspur.


His decision is also believed to be based on the hopes of European football in his future as a Champions League player, and that could way in heavily. Tottenham only secured Europa League which is a far cry from the Champions League. Playing a European-less season at Anfield could give him the hopes of returning to the Champions League next season as that will be the main focus of the Reds in 2011-2012.
