Jude Bellingham

[hihosilva]

Well that only source happens to be the biggest transfer source in the universe. Whether we like it or not it’s the truth.

Oh dear

If Dortmund don't blink, Madrid don't get him.

Simple as that.

Madrid also have to factor in a Benzema replacement now which I'm sure they hadn't budgeted for

 

[pavelsrnicek]

We don't need to say anything at this stage.

For all we know, the Bellingham ship has sailed but it is convenient for us to use that still to move on someone else with little fuss!

That’s the thing, lots of different scenarios, like Bellingham having agreed Madrid only v Madrid trying to bluff City out of the race look the same from the outside.

If Dortmund don't blink, Madrid don't get him.

Simple as that.

And what happens if we slam €130m on the table? Madrid need to match it or get Bellingham to tell Dortmund to accept a low ball figure cos he won’t join us. Still a game of poker to play out and no one in the media know who playing what cards…. Madrid are posturing - as they always do.

 

[Pollocks OG]

There isn’t anything concrete on where Bellingham is going. Just a few Know it alls that insist it is a done deal and want to lecture the rest of us.

Literally the only sources acting like it is done are Romano and Madrid Zome. Personally, I’ll wait for a credible journalist to say we are out before I give up hope. The Northern football correspondent for the Telegraph said just yesterday he doesn’t think it is a dime deal yet.

That's a Daim to you!

Conspiracy theory, Madrid knew Benzema was leaving but they’re saying they’re surprised so that they can back out of the Bellingham deal with dignity when they don’t get it done

That's three excuses now:

i) Oil money. can't compete
ii) No budget after Benzema replacement.
iii) Needs surgery, too big a risk.

oh, and

iv) Didn't want him anyway ....

He is ours!

But who are they spending that money on then? I think Bellingham is their card to save face for Benz leaving.

Has Benzema gone to Saudi?

 

[DeBlueLou]

Has Benzema gone to Saudi?

99% done. apparently told Perez today.

Aren’t they trying Mbappe again? If not then Osihmen makes sense

If we do sign Bellingham little Tebas will blow a gasket....

 

[nmc]

If we do sign Bellingham fat **** Tebas will blow a gasket....

Edited for accuracy.

We also have a few youngsters to sweeten the pot.

Mbappe already stated he's staying another year and no way Napoli will sell for anything less than 150 ha.

If Madrid are on the hunt for a striker, with all the games they’ve been playing in the media, particularly before our semi final, it wouldn’t surprise me if their mouthpieces start with Alvarez to Madrid rumours soon.

Havertz and Firmino are the two names as of now. They probably wont go for anyone which costs a lot. They are going for Mbappe next summer.

The fact we still haven’t walked away is very telling imo and sets the state funded narrative when they cant do a deal with Dortmund

I do think he'll sign for them and we will say something along the lines of "we tried". It's all leaning towards Real now... Bellingham joining them seems even more important for them now that Benz goes.

 

[Coatigan]

A bit of denial in here tbh. He's obvs going to Madrid barring a dramatic twist.

Romano is either a tap-in merchant or a bullshit merchant, depending on which one we want to hear.
