If he actually turned down a chance to come and develop his potential under the greatest coach on the planet... well nothing more needs to be said really.

It's a huge risk on his career for me, Madrid are a magnificent club but one that does not have a history of looking after their players.If he actually turned down a chance to come and develop his potential under the greatest coach on the planet... well nothing more needs to be said really.
Bellingham is still learning his trade, he could have come to the best club side in the world, with the best coach and a club that looks after it's players like family.
The pressure will be on Jude from day one in Spain, good luck to him, he's had some career so far.

Maybe the ‘plastic’ comment had some validity to it and after that City pulled up the drawbridge?

Good luck to the kid, i think he wanted RM all along
Apparently he’s got a 6 year contract. Takes him to 25. A perfect age to come back to the PL. And at his prime as a footballer.
He’ll have played in the Bundesliga, La Liga, and finally the PL. City, Liverpool, United and Arsenal will be in for him if he wants to return to England and to the PL when his contract is up at Madrid.
The lad and his dad aren’t that stupid. Very sensible, if I’m honest.
PS. Who knows where City will be at in 6 years time. New manager, new players, possibly new CEO, etc.

Think he be done by 30 he has played so many games minutes at such a young age 30 for him will be like 34 for anyone else! Sure started playing regular for Birmingham at 15/16 too
Hope not we will be in a world of doom if that’s the case :)The club has form for leaving it another year if we miss out on a player.
Perhaps hoping Phillips can play more to finally rest Rodri?

He may want to come back to England - depending how things go he may fancy coming to us.

What happened to the alleged 150 million euros Dortmund were sticking to?
96 million seems like going on the cheap.
After the season Erling has had and the accolades and trophies that have come his way, being a good mate I thought he might be thinking I'll have a bit of that too. Alas not to be.
He'll be expected to hit the ground running there and nobodys sure who the coach will be yet so can't even be sure of his role. Lots of competition in his area too with Tchouameni, Camavinga, Kroos, Modric etc. Be interesting to see how he goes on. You can find yourself out in the cold there very easily.

I wonder how long ago we actually moved on or away from discussions?

Wonder if we’re working on a winger instead and moving Foden to the middle permanently.I wonder how long ago we actually moved on or away from discussions?

Hope so mate, I don’t want us standing still this summer? Other clubs are going to invest and improve and we need to stay ahead of the pack.

Probably the first time we haven’t we have used our trusted sources to say we had walked mate?

I think City moved on a while ago, to be fair in the media we’ve barely been mentioned/linked with Bellingham for a while.Probably the first time we haven’t we have used our trusted sources to say we had walked mate?
Around a month ago some on Twitter said they’d heard City were still getting him, but I was told it was still RM, which I posted here and City not in the frame unless something dramatic happens. Has been RM for a while.

We need to be organized this window as it’s a shorter turnaround before the tour leaves on the 15th July? Would be great to have any new guys in already and we had heard these txiki was busy during the World Cup period during negotiations etc?

So we are doomed then when we decide to keep Ake and Grealish for a season then.
Kinda glad you guys didn't get him but it was more for the bragging rights than what he would give you ability wise. Once we were ruled out I started to look at him more objectively and if I'm honest, I don't think he'd even get in your team.
I think this move could actually turn sour very quickly and he will regret his decision.
