Jude Bellingham

Ironic given I couldn't sleep because of that bastard thread a couple of years back!

Sleep? I’m still stood next to my bed.

Or was that a different saga?…

For those who actually feel Fabrizio is a serious journalist, you honestly believe Dortmund are selling Bellingham for €100mil + add ons??

Enzo went for €120
Anthony €100
Nunez €100

To think that Dortmund would accept anything less than €130 guaranteed in todays market is laughable.

That €100 seems so low that it reeks of “We had an agreement and then Big Bad City came in with their money to outbid us.” Not saying that will happen or is the case here, but it’s a step Madrid 100% will take if they feel they lost out on a player.

Bellingham has 2 years remained on his contract, he can just tell Dortmund he isn't going anywhere but Madrid

Sell me now, or I will run my contract and leave for free or much cheaper price next summer.

This was literally a month ago too. The guaranteed money just randomly goes down €30mil.

A cynic might think he just makes stuff up

Didn't Utd/Sancho try that?
Seem to remember Dortmund kept him and got their asking price the following summer

or gets £££ from big clubs to appease a certain fan base

Right, that can happen.

Bellingham can wait, he is still 19 and can join Madrid for free when he is 21.


They renewed Modric's contract, already have many expensive options on the bench.

Of course he can. I was merely pointing out that Dortmund don't tend to bend over, and are prepared to risk losing money if they don't get their asking price

I think he could do another year and then leave for €100 million, but not if he wants to leave this year.

Dortmund are a selling club and I don’t think they would want to be seen to sell cheap.

I have less of an issue with him going Madrid then some, I think it is entirely reasonable for him to choose them, they are a level above in terms of size of club (this could be important).

There are many reasons he could also choose City over them, there is no obvious choice.

For the money I think we could spend it better.

Can see your point and how that could effect negotiations, but things can drastically change in 1-2 years for all parties.

I don’t get the feeling Bellingham was meeting with other teams while his sole interest was always going to Madrid. He very well could favor Madrid, and wind up going there. However, in a years time Real runs the risk of Pool finding the money and United being backed by Qatar to offer Bellingham an offer he can’t refuse.

I have little doubt that Bellingham and his team know approximately what Dortmund want in exchange for him and know this while going into personal agreements with teams.

TBH I don’t think anyone is arsed ATM or anymore.

We’ve got the CL ticket farce on-going, we’ve got the Harlem Globe Trotters in the FA Cip final next week, and we’ve got probably the biggest game in the clubs history in 2 weeks time in the CL final, which could also secure the treble.

As far as I’m concerned, if he signs great, if he doesn’t, so be it. We’ll try and pursued Gundo and Bernardo to stay and go again. If they don’t stay, we’ll sign 2 other world class midfield players.
