Jude Bellingham

[bluemc1]

What’s the new rumour that’s brought this into the knews ?


I personally love him at City

Yes, but these so called experts, ex professionals etc…. Have got nothing on the armchair intellects of this here forum….

Whenever I see a reference to experts I am reminded of Merson and Thomson on KDB. Most of these “experts” know nothing or they are so blinded by their own biases and club allegiances they cant see the truth unless it’s wearing a Dipper, Rag or Arsenal shirt.

Personally I’d rather leave these decisions to the Club. For the most part they have shown they are pretty good at spotting talent.

In the article in the Sun this morning they make a pretty compelling argument why we would be interested in Bellingham - KDB’s age, Gundo’s contract situation and continuing uncertainty over Bernie’s future. If he were available for £83 million we would have to take a serious look at him.

A couple of extra reasons why we would want him, he is English, quite clearly Englands best central midfeilder, at 19 he has the experience Pep usually goes for,amorisization,we do not have a box to box, pace through the center.

We don’t have a use for a box to box midfielder. 90% of our games are played in the opposition’s half.

Being English isn’t that much of a reason to buy him as he would probably be classed as a foreign trained player unless he’s played 3 years between 15-21 in the U.K..

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Well people are pretty skeptical because your talent or technical ability do not improve as you age, you either have it or you don’t. The only thing that improves as he ages is his tactical understanding of the game. Can’t blame people for failing to see anything special, he is just a functional midfielder which is why it is baffling that people are saying 150m euros on him.

I obviously disagree.

You aren't going to catch anyone with that Alan. Who cares about Uefa rules.

He doesn't turn 21 until June 2024.

Have you missed Gundogan scoring lots of goals as a box-to-box player?

What about the ten percent that aren't?

Or maybe we need someone capable of defending midfield areas against counter attacks?

We have Rodri and 3 defenders to do that.

We could be able to use his box to box abilities in a few games against the better sides, but we have Bernardo to do that currently and Phillips, should he ever be fit.

And neither offer the same attributes. Philips is more of an aggressive clogger (has injury issues) and Bernardo is more attacking and doesn't like rainy Manchester. Might be off this summer?

On the counterattack, after playing corner kick perhaps. Are Rodri, Dias and Laporte blessed with pace?
