I trust one of our resident wordsmiths has put a few words together for a song for him.

If only someone had written a song that would fit his name. I'll try to make a start -

Hey Jude.......
 
I was told by someone reliable after the Dortmund home game in September that we had a verbal agreement with Bellingham to join next summer. Obviously things can change, but I'm still very confident of our chances.
I just hope we sign Bellingham, firstly because he is a very good player and secondly if he joins the Scousers we will never hear the end of it.
 
Does anyone think this is why Klopp had that rant about how 'Liverpool cabt compete' and having a go at our owners. Maybe he knew back then this is done

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a scouser and make him bitter.
Man City will always be in your heart.
Then you can start to make lots of money.
 
They’ve definitely got the money, it’s the point you make about ‘if they want to’ which is what I was trying to say. I just can’t see FSG ‘wanting’ to blow an unprecedented fee on a player when they’re actively trying to sell.



It makes no logical sense for any owner when they’re in the process of trying to offload an asset.



Plus the next regime will be the ones to reap the benefit - and the credit - for having the player at the Club.



And the media heat for not getting him over the line is simply never going to happen. The whole ‘we tried, but poor old FSG couldn’t compete against state-owned Clubs like City’ angle writes itself, and absolves then of any blame. We all know their supine media lackeys will be more than happy to peddle that line for them all summer.



The cynic in me could argue that’s their objective, setting the scene and making the case for why they had to leave - when we all know the real reason is because the super league smash and grab their owners pushed so hard for ended up in such catastrophic and very public failure.



Completely agree they need a complete squad overhaul and rebuild which goes way beyond Bellingham, so they need to balance his signing with filling a whole host of ageing holes in their squad to be in with a chance of competing again.

I agree with all this and now you've said it I think the push in the press for him to go to Liverpool is part of the plan to play the 'woe is poor us, we just can't compete' card in the summer.
The way the press have decided that he's definitely going to Liverpool seems really odd to me, I'd have thought they'd have got their paid media influencers to temper the fans excitement just in case it doesn't come off. Now you've got me thinking that they could just be using the Trumpian tactic of keeping people angry and giving them a target for hate to distract from their shortcomings. If they can make their fans focus on evil Arab oil money it means they won't kick off about their lack of forward planning in regards to their squad and their poor recent recruitment decisions.
