He's not a better player than Jack at this moment in time. He's younger, true, with great potential, but he's also already banged up before turning 20. I'm not one to ever really get hung up on transfer fees, but 150 mil is absolutely ridiculous for this player. City were never going to pay that much for Jude. I'm being 100 when I say I'm not the least bit bothered by him going to RM. I've been consistent throughout that he would be a welcome addition but not close to a must get, especially at those numbers. I still think RM did their usual posturing and propagandizing thru their press from the get go and this time it just happened to work out. They did the same shit with Mbappe and Haaland and did it with Aguero for years to no avail. Basically, they are still full of shit regardless of where Bellingham signs. Personally I would go all in on Caicedo. A hard-nosed, versatile, talented footballer who at 21 hasn't yet scratched the tip of his potential. I'm shocked he hasn't gotten more attention from us. All things considered including cost and health I'm taking him over Bellingham, MacAllister, Enzo, Rice, Barella or possibly even Kimmich at this point.

Bellingham has quite a ways to go to be even mentioned with Sir KDB : )View attachment 81177

Foden has a long way to go to claim Kev’s role in the team. Overtime I hope you are correct.
Caicedo mate!Rice and MacAllister
No drama,Prem proven,and probably more suited to our style and needs.
I like what Bellingham brings,but i honestly cant be arsed with the associated circus.

When KDB goes he'll be replaced with a very different type of player, simply because there is nobody like KDB.Bellingham has quite a ways to go to be even mentioned with Sir KDB : )

Alvarez from Ajax being lined up. Maybe they want to get an agreement on purchase before they finalise the sale.Apparently jude going "madrid" next week
But dortmund don't have a replacement yet
Guerriro, Passlack, Dahoud, Modeste all going on frees. Niko Schulz as well rumoured to be on his way.
Bit of a rebuild required.
Meanwhile Bayern sack Oliver Kahn and Salihamidzic - who orchestrated Nagelsmann's sacking and Tuchel's hiring. No drama there, none at all. Obvious complete fuck up back at the time. Will be interesting to see what comes out of it. Kimmich was less than impressed. He isn't in to Tuchel. And Tuchel himself sounds less than impressed by it all. But both will probably stay. Even if neither of them is a definite.

Madrids a shit hole tbf, have you never been to Moss Side?I'm also tickled by the idea that Manchester has "more" shops than Madrid.

Greggs are crap since they changed the cheeseJust casually mention that there's a Drive through Greggs In Irlam, and that should put any doubts out of his head.
I think everyone is saying that, really. Question is, who is Citys plan b? IS there a plan B if Gundo and Bernardo stays? Probably need another midfielder to start offloading/rotating more. McAtee is a shot there.That Italian journalist Moretto is saying it's a done deal he is going Madrid.

For all these reports to be true Bellingham must have rejected us and said it’s only Madrid -how else would Madrid lowball Dortmund. I think we’d go €20m higher than the figures being reported. Equally, if Bellingham had rejected us and gone exclusive with Madrid wouldn’t we have distanced ourselves???

Nobody at City ever said Bellingham was coming here, just media speculation. We tend to be savvy with our incoming transfers, Grealish being the main exception. He had a proven track record in the Premier League though. We can guarantee Champions League football next season, so we will be attractive to any players who think they can get regular playing time.

It seems to me like Bellingham hasn’t had the balls to say no to anybody. Just stringing everyone along, before joining Madrid.For all these reports to be true Bellingham must have rejected us and said it’s only Madrid -how else would Madrid lowball Dortmund. I think we’d go €20m higher than the figures being reported. Equally, if Bellingham had rejected us and gone exclusive with Madrid wouldn’t we have distanced ourselves???
Maybe Perrone gets some minutes next season then? If they bring in another CM for cheaper I would like them to spend the rest of the Bellingham money on a winger myself.I think everyone is saying that, really. Question is, who is Citys plan b?

Nice. Happy to be proved wrong but I think the hype is a bit over the top.That Italian journalist Moretto is saying it's a done deal he is going Madrid.
Just to add weight to that statement, I never watch him live.
Perrone just doesn't look ready. Needs regular football. At least McAtee got the english game in him after a season in the championshipMaybe Perrone gets some minutes next season then? If they bring in another CM for cheaper I would like them to spend the rest of the Bellingham money on a winger myself.

I’ve been away for a week so probably missed something important…but has anyone that matters - City, Dortmund, Bellingham himself - actually said that he is going to Madrid ?
Or is this “he’s going to Madrid” “never wanted him anyway” etc etc simply following either Madrid (or our glorious UK Media) “propaganda ?

He's gone.
This is always the case. It's almost never the case you replace like for like. The Silva's being a weird exception to that rule.When KDB goes he'll be replaced with a very different type of player, simply because there is nobody like KDB.
KDB himself replaced Yaya Toure. They couldn't be more different. Like Kun and Erling.
