Liverpool fans on Twitter have been busy debating whether or not a swoop for Juventus star Paulo Dybala would be a good move or not, and it appears that the fanbase simply cannot decide on the matter.

The Argentina international has hit nine goals and recorded four assists in all competitions this season, which, to be honest, is slightly below par given the numbers that he reached in the previous campaign – Dybala scored 22 league goals in just 26 starts.

Mo Salah has been brutally mocked for his recent diving antics in a new video by 442oons. Check it out below…

Perhaps the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo has shaken things up, but nevertheless, Tutto Mercato are suggesting that the Reds are ‘serious’ in their intentions of landing the 25-year-old.

Jurgen Klopp is lacking depth to support his exquisite attacking trident of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, and whilst Dybala is a world-class player, one would assume that it’s unlikely he would settle for a place on the bench should he make the move to Anfield.

That is one negative surrounding the move, although there are many positives, which is perhaps reason for the Liverpool supporters on Twitter failing to agree on this particular topic…

It’s going to be a massive summer for Leeds United if they go up or not. With that in mind, they don’t need to be wasting millions on a new attacking midfielder when they already have Mateusz Klich ready to step up.

Football Insider 247 have claimed the Whites are preparing a £7m bid for Reading ace John Swift. They’ve reportedly been impressed by the 24-year-old’s improvements this season, but what about the strides made by Klich too?

He’s played 41 times in the Championship this season, netting eight and assisting the same amount, and that’s not a bad tally at all. He’s shown this campaign that he’s got the ability to nail down the number 10 role and be the creative spark in this Leeds side, no doubt.

John Swift has been impressive, of course. Particularly considering how Reading are struggling at the bottom end of the table again. However, it’d be a massive step up for him, whereas for Leeds it just wouldn’t be a signing worth their time considering Klich’s quality.

As an investment for the future, it could be sensible, with Swift four years younger than 28-year-old Klich. However, Leeds need players for the here and now, whether that be to stay in the Premier League or be promoted next season. They should buy players in their prime if they’re going to invest.

Klich has all the qualities to be Leeds’ perfect number 10. Spending unnecessary money, which could be put to better use on a centre-back, for example, would be careless.

Radrizzani should keep his hands in his pockets on this occasion.

Leeds fans, who do you want to see as your number 10 next season, and why? Join the discussion by commenting below.

Loads of Sunderland fans have been reacting to an update from the Northern Ireland squad, as Will Grigg is struggling with an ankle injury.

Grigg is expected to miss both of Northern Ireland’s Euro 2020 qualifiers during this international break – the green and white army take on Estonia on Thursday evening before a clash with Belarus on Sunday.

According to various reports, the 27 year-old is suffering from an ankle problem and will return to Wearside for treatment.

“Will’s ankle is an ongoing problem that he’s had for some time,” said manager Michael O’Neill.

Unsurprisingly, Sunderland fans are now speculating over the extent of the injury, with plenty hoping it’s just a precaution ahead of the Checkatrade Trophy final, while others fret over the possibility of a more serious issue.

The ex-Wigan ace has bagged three goals and two assists already in his short time as a Black Cat, and if his ankle problem causes him to miss time in April it would be devastating for the club’s promotion hopes.

Jack Ross’ side play eight League One games in April, and loads of fans have been reacting to the news that could present a hammer blow to the charge for automatic promotion…

Liverpool fans on Twitter have been reacting to the latest Champions League performance of club captain Jordan Henderson.

The 28-year-old has never been the most talented footballer, but the 6 ft central midfielder started and impressed hugely in Tuesday night’s quarter-final first-leg win over Porto at Anfield.

Henderson was far from the player the critics sometimes say he is as Roberto Firmino and Naby Keita goals gave Jurgen Klopp’s men a 2-0 victory and one foot into the semi-finals of the competitions for a second consecutive campaign.

The England star’s swashbuckling display caused supporters to drool and they showed that when replying to a tweet from their team’s official account featuring a picture of Henderson and the words, “The skipper.”

One commented “Jordan Tremenderson” as a comical play on his surname, another claimed that he should have won the man of the match instead of fellow midfielder Keita and one even gave the superb showing a rating of 10/10.

Below is a list of the best reactive Tweets from Reds fans to the stunning performance…

Loads of fans have been running the rule over Kristoffer Ajer’s international performance this week, as the Celtic ace struggled in a draw against Sweden.

International breaks can be fairly tedious and typically provide nowhere near the entertainment on offer from club football, but Norway and Sweden played out an absolute thriller on Tuesday evening.

The Scandinavian rivals drew 3-3 in a Euro 2020 qualifier, and Ajer played 90 minutes in the heart of defence for the Norwegians.

Former Wigan & Fulham man, Jimmy Bullard recently showed that he’s still got it! Check out the video below…

His side went two goals to the good thanks to strikes from Bjorn Johnsen and Josh King, but Viktor Claesson answered before Ajer gave away a clumsy penalty, which made it 2-2.

The Swedes then took the lead in stoppage time, only for Ola Kamara to level things up thanks to an assist from Real Madrid wonderkid Martin Odegaard.

There were plenty of talking points from the match, but few have drawn more attention than Ajer, who looked lost out there at times.

The 20 year-old has been fairly inconsistent for the Bhoys, showing glimpses of huge potential amidst occasional silly mistakes, and the Twitter reactions down below don’t make pretty reading…

Sunderland’s executive director, Charlie Methven, has admitted that the club is open to outside investment for the club, and that talks have taken place with interested parties.

An injection of cash would be music to the ears of Black Cats fans as they prepare for their Wembley trip this weekend, but they will be cautious as well as optimistic, particularly after the mess the club found themselves in following Ellis Short’s stint in charge.

Methven told the Northern Echo: “We’ve been approached by a number of people who want to put money into the club, and we’ve talked to them.

“We’ve never hidden the fact that we’re potentially open to outside investment and that’s still the position. But the investment would have to be right for us, for the investors and for the football club.

“We see it as a massive positive that we’re getting these approaches – it shows we’ve made progress in terms of turning the club around.

“When we took over from Ellis (Short), the club was basically uninvestable. A lot of people looked at it, and decided there was no way they could invest.”

Of course, much depends on which division the Wearsiders find themselves playing in next season.

With automatic promotion not nailed on, and the play-offs still largely a lottery, there is still a scenario that could easily see Sunderland remaining a League One side for another year.

But Methven insists, if the worst happens, it will not affect their plans, with differing plans in place whether promotion is secured or not.

“We’ve got a plan for being in League One next season, and another plan for being in the Championship. The sums have all been done, and we know where we’re going to stand, both on and off the pitch.

“None of us want to be in League One next season, but the truth is if that happens, it will not be a great challenge now we’ve got the club stabilised. It was a problem this season because of the issues we inherited, but they’re not there now.

“We’ve still got a few leftover commitments from the Premier League days, but they’ll pretty much be cancelled out by the parachute payments. If we stay in League One, we won’t have to stretch ourselves. We’d be able to stick with pretty much the budget we have now, and that would comfortably be the biggest salary budget in the division. We’d also have the biggest transfer budget.”

Failing to go up would be a nightmare outcome for Sunderland fans. But at least they can rest easier, knowing that finally some sensible, financially savvy heads are running the club now.

But supporters could still ask questions of how, if they have “comfortably the biggest salary budget” and “the biggest transfer budget”, why promotion is not a mere formality at this stage of the season.

What are your thoughts Sunderland fans? Are you pleased that the financial position has righted itself at your club? Would you encourage outside investment? Should the team have performed better this season? Let us know your thoughts below…

Marcelo Bielsa switched things up against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday evening, and Leeds fans are stunned by the performance of Tyler Roberts.

Just last summer, Whites fans were looking at Roberts as a wasted signing. The young Welshman didn’t manage a single minute of Championship action after joining the club mid-way through the campaign, and his on-going injury problems were becoming a major concern.

He has stepped up big time this season though, returning to fitness and playing a variety of roles in Bielsa’s XI.

Roberts has played up front, as a number ten and on the wing this season, and he put yet another new experience under his belt on Saturday, sliding into midfield alongside Matuesz Klich.

The youngster’s energy and drive made a huge difference, as he racked up a remarkable six shots, two key passes, two dribbles, one tackle and one interception, per Whoscored.

Roberts may literally have covered every blade of grass, and the Twitter reactions down below love what Bielsa has done to the 20 year-old…

According to Colombia media outlet Marca Claro, via Sport Witness, Everton defender Yerry Mina looks set to be out for three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury during his country’s clash with South Korea this week, and Toffees fans have been quick to react to the soul-destroying blow.

Having seen his performances at the 2018 World Cup and considering the fact the tall centre-back was joining from Barcelona, there would have been plenty of excitement and anticipation following the arrival of Mina at Goodison Park last summer.

However, it has turned out to be something of a nightmare spell in England for the 24-year-old to date, as he has been continually hampered by injuries and lack of form.

The South American finally made his first Premier League start since December against Chelsea before the international break, but now the latest setback looks set to consign him to another spell on the sidelines.

The update has unsurprisingly been met with a disgruntled response by Toffees supporters, with many suggesting it is typical of the Merseyside club’s luck, while one says his injury record is “concerning” and another believes the club have “signed a dud”.

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
