Jude Bellingham

[Kinkys Left Foot]

You know it's in the death throws when United are now the Media's destination of choice and those Old Trafford dickheads start getting giddy on youtube thinking they can outmuscle us for our No1 target. Dortmund of course would love an auction.
There is a world where this happens if the player isn't arsed where he goes and it's just the biggest offer as far as fee + wages is concerned (Sanchez, Fred, McGuire) but we know JB's career is being appropriately managed and although they are not as bad as they were last season, City are by far a better proposition and we've been working on this for a long time.

I don't know why people are getting hung up on his cost, on market value it was always going to be above 100m and considering the teams he's linked to it's normal. With some guidance from Pep, this kid could be really special, if you can't see that then i don't really know what to say to ya.

19 years old. Could play into his early 30’s like KDB is doing.

£130mill by 13 seasons is £10mill a season. An absolute steal.

Or better still 10 seasons and get our money back selling him on. Would still be young enough to get a decent fee.

If you look at the potential sales from the Academy alone, Harwood-Bellis, Doyle, McAtee, Esbrand, Steffen, Couto etc, we could easily get £60 million there without potential first team outgoings of Cancelo and Silva.

I sincerely hope Bernardo stays

Yep but silva might stay and we ain’t getting anything for Cancelo no one will pay the 60m we would want! Even if we knocked the fee down to 40m with his wages he be hard to shift

I'm not sure that we need Gvardiol especially with the form of Ake. I'd take an overlapping leftback instead, who can put crosses in.
We don't have that player at the moment and he would be perfect in that team.

I'm still in the "do whatever we can to keep Bernie" corner too.

Cancelo is the player you describe though.

Honestly I'm at the point whereby I'm happy having a conservative full back who is mega at defending and accomplished on the ball - basically Ake.

I've always been one pining for overlapping full backs etc. and thought the rewards outweighed the risks but seeing the team attacking as it has been while feeling safe in 1v1 situations on the wings has been a godsend after seeing Cancelo diving in all over the gaff for a year or two has been refreshing. From my perspective anyway.

Not really, i would like a left footed one who can defend ;-)

Theo is The only one who I can think of off the top of my head.
