Jude Bellingham

[skillman]

Whilst it would be a disappointment to miss out on Bellingham it won't be the end of the world. City are a brilliantly run club and I am sure Txiki will have other irons in the fire,

I would have been gutted to miss out on Haaland, but if we are not successful in our pursuit of Bellingham I won't feel the same pain.

This is my feeling towards it all too. He’s a brilliant player and has years before he even starts hitting his peak - would’ve been great to see him with fellow England internationals in the team and his best mate up top - but if we miss out, fine.

Haaland was like a dream signing to get and it stressed me out to the point of not reading stuff about rumours in the end. But Bellingham is just another good player who I’m sure we have a brilliant plan B if we don’t get.

If Real do end up paying over £100mill for him, plus his rumoured wages of £375K a week, what will Tebas say about that? (uck all)

Who cares what that bitter , xenophobic fool thinks?

He has helped destroy his own country's domestic league, quite incredible Geoff!

What I don’t understand is why would a City Twitter account gaslight the topic further? Leave that shit for other amateurs to try and find more clicks and followers whether true or not.
I find it astonishing that a City account would put that out in the public domain.

Self interest and clicks i guess,these Twitter types exist purely for recognition and likes,and i'm fairly sure it matters not where they come from.

As you say, it's for clicks.

Just because it's 'City Zone' doesn't mean the owner is a City fan BTW. They could own and run multiple Twitter accounts for all of the PL clubs (and other foreign league clubs) and put out contrary information to drive visits and retweets. It's the only reason the Forest fan pretends to be a United fan, purely for increased clicks.

Bellingham going to Madrid is unlikely imo If we are seriously in for him. We are currently dominating the best league in the world.. have the best manager in the world and all his mates play for us… he will be near his family and we have the budget.. bit of a no brainer if you are Jude.

The only reason this won’t happen is if Pep isn’t desperate for him.

If we truly want him.. he will end up a city player imo.

All part of the dance that will likely go on for the next four months odd.

At this stage of an incredibly well mapped out career, like Haaland, he would be a fool not to come to us and Pep.

Real Madrid like Haaland is for much later in his career.

All money in the bank to them and the fools continue to contribute to them.

which is why we shuld just break the fricking bank so doetmund knows they have another suitor even if RM fails. call dortmund and tell them we will pay 150m cash.

even if they do strike a deal eventually, at least it gives dortmund more bargaining power to rip off real madrid (unless jude literally rejects us i guess haha)

It matters little if Bellingham has decided it's Real & only Real, & Dortmund either do a deal, or he goes next season for half the amount, or the season after on a free.

He'll leave this summer. It's now down to how much Real believe they can shave off the reputed £130m asking price before the deal is done.

I bet they find City's silence unnerving! :-)

Think my original point was missed so may as well agree to disagree.

I never said he'd made the statement and it's obviously guesswork.

I'm not disagreeing with you per se. He may be influenced by such factors, who knows. Personally I don't believe that to be the case but I'm 1000% certain that nonsensical tweet did not originate with Bellingham or his people.

Dortmund are no mugs in the transfer market... if Real don't pay the asking price, he's not going there simple as that!

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Dortmund would love an auction.
I'm sure we have a price (even if it's BVBs original asking price) and wont get involved in any of that shit.
We nay just ensure those Madrid cunts pay full whack.

They won't shave anything of the price, they will have to pay the 150 mil, either up front or in add ons, Dortmund have a price, pay the price.

Barca tried to shave money off Dembele and ended up paying 15 mil more, United wouldn't pay the price so Sancho stayed an extra season.

Dortmund are not mugs when it comes to transfer business. Such as we would have to pay the 150 million if he decided to come to us.

He will blame City for inflating the price, which cost Madrid more money.

 

[Dribble]

BUT, Bellingham's value will begin to plummet the longer he remains at Dortmund.

If he says he only wants Real, Dortmund are faced with agreeing a deal with them, or selling him for ⅓ price next summer, or allowing him to leave on a free.

The key to this is "Bellingham only wants Real". If this isn't the case & others are willing to match Dortmund's valuation, it's the only way I can see Real being levered out of the way.

So Bellingham stays for an additional season & gets sold for what with a year left on his contract & the ability to sign a pre-contract agreement in January 2025 when he'll be 21?

Real aren't desperate for him for this moment in time, they're looking forward to the next 10 years. If they're confident it's only them, they'll wait as they've proven before...

I would rather get McAllister than Bellingham. I dont think he's worth £150, nowhere near.

I too think it makes more sense on every level.

He already looks like a Pep player being the most obvious.

 

[jackwbrain]

AS were the first to report of Bellingham agreeing with Real, right?

Well...they've started to backtrack today.

Image is poorly translated but says City have made an offer that satisfies both Bellingham & Dortmund :)

 

[gray740]

Reddy has zero credibility. No one gives a shit what she says.

She was interviewing Pep today ffs what the fuck is she and why ?

I fully agree that the tweet didn't come from his camp. But I do think the factors involved could influence his decision.

 

[MarsLlama]

Surely it's gotta be run by a City fan? If so, what the fuck do they think they're playing at?

Sadly I think most of the 'secondary' aggregators in City's case are run by the latecomers who are more interested in making a business from it than being reliable.
