🔴EOTK Insider Opinion: How Elliott, Jones & Ramsay could have huge say in potential Bellingham transfer to Liverpool

Liverpool have reportedly finished their summer transfer business early on... though there is concern over what this means for a potential pursuit of Jude Bellingham
There are three categories of midfielders, roughly a 6,8 and 10
6- holding
8- box to box, versatile with a strong defense first basis
10- creator first, but can press effectively
Some players such as Henderson and Thiago are 8’s with ability to play 6
Bellingham is mostly and 8
Keira is an 8 but versatile and can play 10
Elliott, Carvalho is a 10
Jones is a 10 and tried out as an 8 but hasn’t proven it yet.
So why are all the Liverpool FC journalists assuming that the desire to let the three young 10’s blossom, have much to do with a decision to buy Bellingham or Onana or the Aston Villa kid whose name I can’t spell?
If analyzed the midfield this way we could intelligently discuss the process and timing of transitioning from Milner, Henderson and Thiago as they will likely all fade away in turn, in 2-3 seasons.
Then we can have another discussion on the prospects of the three young 10’s achieving the levels of 10’s that ‘top 3-4’ teams in the world possess
