Jude Bellingham

[halfcenturyup]

Can we sign him now please, for no other reason than to annoy anyone not connected with City.

On a 25 year contract. Apparently that's OK till the summer.

Sky was absolutely convinced Erling was going to Real Madrid.

Please don't say that solekhol nobhead was holding court?

They are about 3rd hand news unless it's the red mardarses.

He was.

"It. Just. Makes. Sense. For. Him. To. Join. Liverpool"

Sky absolutely convinced he's going to the dippers

It will drive viewer numbers that’s why.

Next will be Utd, then Chelsea and Arsenal and then it will be the two Spanish giants until one day they have to admit defeat and accept its ikkle old City again.

This long contract business with chelsea is a problem. Ie spreading transfer fees over 5y max rather than cobtract length from next summer.

Ive no doubt if we’d have got him we’d have given a 6y contract.
If its a £120m fee that would have been £20m pa plus wages
Now its £24m pa plus wages because its 5y max to spread over. So more cost to cover

If you can, why not buy now £120m 6.5y contract and loan back to dortmund til summer.
Makes cost £18m pa plus wages with dortmund covering most of this 6 months

Saves £6m pa of cost and secures the player earlier
Only risk being injury while on loan

Dortmund or player could always tell us to fuck off but feels like a sensible move, especially with so much player sales profit in this financial year. Bring forward some investments

 

[waspish]

I was hoping we would try and push it through this window before the dippers get bought or investment

No chance we paying the amount to get him in January

Oh I agree mate but with the new ruling coming in the summer it would make sense to do it now on say a 6.1/2 year deal?

Oh god.

It really is embarrassing isn't it.

So basically what sky are saying is Bellingham, at 19, suddenly wants to forget about ambition, forget about champions league football and play kick and rush football for a narcissist gobshite and jepordise his career prospects that he has been building up the last few years.

I mean, you have to laugh at them as they are actually serious.

Tolmie has the key to the door, he has more proof and info in his little finger than those two twerps on sky.

Absolute laugh a minute sky at the moment.

I suspect he has a problem holding his own cock !

Liverpool clear favourites, absolutely clear favourites infact it's a formality that they'll sign him this summer so say sky.
City walk away from deals, so we have no chance.
Basically they've got everything crossed that Liverpool sign him, would be an absolute sickener for them if we swooped in
