Not sure I agree with this - midfield is their biggest problem, it's old and slow.

The bizarre thing is they already have the solution, Valverde, Camavinga and Tchouameni is an incredible midfield trio, but politics and favouritism mean they still rely on Modric and Kroos every week.

But Bellingham would solve a lot of their issues.

The front 3 is brilliant, the defence is solid. A better RB and LB (if Alaba refuses to play there) would improve them but not much.

Benzema looking past it. Carvahal too. Alaba mediocre as a CB. Valverde, Camavinga, and Tchouameni are very good up and coming young players but in all fairness none of the three would be considered midfield game managers in the vein of Modric or Kroos. They are all similar in the sense of being physical, aggressive, hard workers. I'd take any of the three on City, but not as a trio. That doesn't work from a squad set up, at least not now. Is Bellingham ready to take on the role of midfield general at Real right now. That's certainly debatable. At City he would have way less pressure playing alongside DeBruyne, Rodri, and at least one of Gundo/Bernardo (no way both leave, not happening). He would also have the privilege, yes privilege, of playing and developing under Pep versus who, Xabi Alonso, Raul? No disrespect, but that alone should be a huge factor even if all other things are considered equal. That said, it's his call apparently, so lots of luck to him whatever he chooses to do.

I agree the young mids they have a very good but they are all way too similar. Bellingham, to me, is another in that athletic driving midfielder mould. Modric and Kroos are more of the technical metronome type player. that skillset isnt replaced by adding Bellingham.
 
I would imagine that Madrid is in a very attractive position for attracting a lot of young talent. They have an aging midfield that needs replacing, an aging Benzema that needs replacing, and a lot of quality young talent of their own. The club has the history and panache that players love. I am honestly baffled that Mbappe didn't move there last year, and expect him to move this summer if at all possible. A tandem of Mbappe and Bellingham, with the surrounding talent, would be formidable. But not as good as us....... :)

If you give the him the contract length of 12 months instead of 24-36months, then that is "trying to push him out". Did I demystify it for you or do you still find it strange?

No it is not. It is still extending his time here. It certainly isn't "pushing him out." It may not be for as long as you prefer but it isn't pushing him out.

Do you fall for the trick politicians and interest groups use saying "The XYZ party are cutting the funding for this important government provided benefit," when in reality the XYZ Party is simply keeping the funding level the same?
 
Jude should have been at the Etihad ready to put on the kit of the winner. No way he watches that match and doesn't start to rethink his *decision*. Hope it brings him extreme stress and anxiety. Daft c*nt.
 
Fwiw I think it’s naive to think last night will have changed Bellingham’s mind. If he’s chosen Madrid he will have already known they’re not even the best in their league currently never mind Europe. He will have known how good we are and that he’d play for Pep but chose Madrid anyway. He’s clearly chosen them for the club rather than the current on field situation and he will know over the course of his contract there he will win several major trophies even if not in a good moment at the moment.

If anything last night will have shown him that he is guaranteed to start every big game for Madrid as Modric and Kroos legs have now completely gone.

This, unfortunately.
 
if hes picked real madrid then fair doos.

but as a young player why wouldnt you not want to be coached by the best coach in the world who is know for improving players and getting the maximun out of a player.
 
Bellingham is surely better doing the premier league until say he’s 26-27 and then going to la liga and not the other way around?!
