Jude Bellingham

I completely agree with all sentiments, Bellingham is a top top player and probably none around of his age and quality. HOWEVER, it’s an incredible amount of money and we’re the difference, players don’t magically always workout cause we scout well, which we do, it’s because we scout well and have the best manager and infrastructure, we have an incredible spine right now. IF we were to get a Mac A for example he’d be just as great or even better because he’s under pep.

Did I want Bernardo? Not particularly, did I want Dias, definitely not, did I want Akanji? Certainly not, did I want Cucuarella, absolutely, I thought he was THE ONE. Was I wrong on every occasion? Absolutely, because PEP is the most important, do I want Maddison? Absolutely not, but if pep does I need to shut the fuck up to be honest, I need to do that more. Having pep is a blessing, I’ve learnt not to argue with subs or transfers, I’ll still moan here and there but I know he gets it right more than ANYONE else around can, that level of security is unmatched.

Real Madrid are obviously a “bigger club” whatever that BS means, but if he doesn’t want to come to the currently most successful club in the best league in the world, for god knows how much money, under the best manager in the world, with one of his best friends being the best player in the world, then frankly he’s dumb and short sighted. Haaland is so well managed he could see what city have going on right now, it’s won’t last forever because the premier league superiority or Pep won’t last. I think for an English lad especially to miss that is well, stupid and poorly managed but that’s just me maybe…

It’s his loss, NOT OURS!

A great summary, in a superb post!
 
i think as long as hes not only locked in to real madrid, we still have a chance if the clubs cant agree a fee. if real only offer 100 mil euros maybe dortmund prolly wont be pressed to sell since they could still get that next season. hopefully that gives us a chance

I hate bullshit tweets like that. It should absolutely start with "Romano says", otherwise the gullible take it as a fact that has just happened to come "via" him.

Absolute Twitter crap generating 50 pages of bollocks on here.

I also doubt Romano has any "ins" to what City say they are thinking. And even if he did, he wouldn't know if what they say they are thinking is what they are actually thinking.

It may be true, of course. Anything may be true because City and Dortmund aren't saying anything (and btw, Dortmund have to if a deal is close). Madrid are the only ones talking, and we know how and why that happens.
 
Well I am gutted. When journalists of this quality take the never-seen-before step of a tweet that we have been snubbed and Real have all but done the deal, it is clearly over and we need to move on.
 
So in summary

Fabrizio does what Fabrizio does — Takes someone’s info, whether garbage or not, and runs it as his own. Pins his first tweet as if he’s the one breaking the news on his own, and then follows the breaking news tweet with another that actually details the source. Which in this case, is no one other than José Félix Díaz, from Marca.

Díaz… the same guy who last year said Haaland would have his ‘decision’ announced by Jan 31st, then 2 months later in March was writing about how Haaland and Mbappe were still on the table for Madrid. Once Haaland announced City, Díaz then decided to take the “Benzema’s form” approach as to why Haaland decided against Madrid.

Berger backing the story is the only source worthy of a mention, as he’s usually a Dortmund mouthpiece. So it might have some legs to it. I’ll continue to wait for a City reply before closing the book on this.
 
I tell you what. If we batter Madrid over 2 legs then it’d make an interesting perspective for him.

If Madrid won’t touch Dortmund’s valuation then how do they expect to get him? Regardless of whether he’s said yes to them or not.

Whereas if we can agree with both the player and club - as we are supposedly willing to do - then we’d be in the race still. Providing the club don’t walk away because of (supposedly) not being first choice.

I’m all for the thinking that it’s a big Madrid bluff but then you have Berger, Romano and other well-respected journalists running with it. Would they all be fooled by something as simple as a leak from Madrid to make themselves look better? We didn’t see that with Haaland (not this level of commitment to the ‘done deal’ cause).

Agreed about this news emanating from one source, however there's a journalist who several were saying is very close to Dortmund who's reported the same.

Now I don't know if he's just heard Bellingham to Real from the same Marça source as we all have, or if he's got it from a separate source, but I suppose that guy's the one to ascertain EXACTLY what he's heard from Dortmund's perspective, from whom & when. )(

Weird now we being mentioned in the conversation with Bellingham before the news broke yesterday 9/10 times never got mentioned in a link to us buying him!

I noticed that too. The narrative being spun is Real have beaten City to the signing of Bellingham, when we've never formally announced our interest...

Previous to yesterday, we were mentioned in the usual bullshit "But ManUre, Chelsea, City & PSG are monitoring the situation" column. Now we're front & centre as the vanquished... :-/

odds have gone from 16/1 this afternoon to 11/1 this evening for him to come to city. if anyone is confident he’s still coming to us then i’d be throwing some money on that

and the bookies work is done, bookie have these twitter people in their pockets, release that statement ,loads of money gets put on it, release that statement more money goes on it, people quoting odds shouldnt be taken as anything
 
people need to be calm, they get overhyped one way with a tweet,then fly over to the otherside with another tweet, what will be will be, the transfer forum reminds me of the match day forum,one minute we are shite and need to sell everyone, next we are the best team in the world, people need to calm down,they look a bit silly.

as for people quoting odds as some sort of proof , gambling is for mugs
