The dopey wankers should already know they don’t spend the sort of money to get Bellingham?! Even if they get investment it won’t happen as the wages he would have to get over our offer would lead to mutiny in the dipper squad with around 80% of them wanting pay rises!
They have already smashed the structure with Salah. The overall wage bills are not that different to ours, so I think 250-300K a week will be his rate and any of us will pay it.
For me, it’s everything else…
Work with Pep
Play with Haaland/ KDB/ Foden etc
4 out of last 5 PL
As close as you can get to CL football
Potential chance to be part of the first City team to win CL
Play it was widely accepted as the best team in the world
Liverpool
Work with Klopp (rather Pep, but no doubt good manager)
Play with Salah, Henderson, TAA (think we’re quite far ahead here)
1 out of last 5 PL (could say last 30)
On a bad year CL is not guaranteed
Potential to win first PL with the fans in stadium (would be good for a player).
Play in a team that people could say has peaked
Real
They are Real and will have certain attractions we cannot compete with and some we can.
Ultimately he’s an English lad and we seem to have all our best players playing here. I imagine most grow up in Academy’s watching PL and dreaming of playing in it (he may be different and watched La Liga more but I think it’s an outside bet).
Who knows at this point, but I’m pretty sure it will be based on factors such as the ones above and others important to him, but I think the wages will be payable by whichever team.
