Jude Bellingham

[Oddchild]

I saw one of your fans with a Bellingham 22 shirt on when you played ManUre! Looks like the Mersey won't be the only river of salty water running through Liverpool if JB fails to arrive! \0/

Why've they done this to themselves?

Hahaaa. I don't know mate...I saw it too. I'm very happy living in Melbourne I know that!

It's a bit like how you can't choose your parents...I was a Liverpool fan way before I understood the fanbase I had been assigned.

Now you've created a song for him? Why've they done this to themselves?

PS: If he arrives at the Etihad, can we use the song if it's any good?

You not a Beatles fan mate? Pretty sure you will have heard it already and if you get him and sing this song it would literally be the piss boiling event of the century. I'm not exaggerating.

Get our way with what?

We've access to £600bn if needed, but couldn't spend £150m of it even if we wanted to, without having to sell first. UEFA/G14 & the Hateful Eight of the Premier League saw to that with FFP.

FFP was originally supposed to be about debt, but when our owner bought the club that was changed to stopping owner investment. Stop the investment. Stop City.

However as you say we're an extremely well run club, but look at the collective debt of all the clubs who tried to strangle City at birth? Funny isn't it? Our debt (WITHOUT OWNER INVESTMENT since 2013/14) is zero, whilst those trying to stop us are bankrupting themselves doing so...

As for Bellingham, your lot have done what they've traditionally done for years. They started briefing the press about Bellingham 2 years ago. Your players have been in his ear on international duty & your fans have been losing their shit in expectation of Bellingham's arrival.

One problem though... Bellingham! Did any of you think to ask the player if he wanted to play for Liverpool? You've all just assumed because you want him to become Stevie G 2.0 so badly, that'd be enough to make it happen. Well it's looking like it isn't which ain't City's fault.

So when you say "We (City) always seem to get our way", again how so? With transfers?

Have a look at our list of "Nailed on" transfers that failed to materialise.

Robin Van Persie
De Rossi
Hazard
Sanchez
Sanchez again
Messi
Isco
Pogba
Fred
Maguire
Sanchez AGAIN!
Laporté
Koulibaly
Messi again
Frenkie De Jong
Kane
Cucurella

That's just off the top of my head. In all cases we set our budget limits & were outbid. No problem, we just move onto our next target on the list.

Instead of Fred, we got Rodri

Instead of Maguire, we got Laporté

And so on... So again, how do City always seem to get their way, especially if you look past Grealish for £100m & realise the next highest fee we've ever paid was £72m for Dias & that's including add ons?

You forgot the obvious missed signing in Van Dyke when Liverpool outbid us massively so we moved on.

Nah, I've not heard your Bellingham song, but I'm sure if he ever rocks up at the Etihad, we'll find a humane way to repurpose it. Waste not, want not & all that! :-)

Yup, that one too... )(

It will be a variant on this. The Kop have been planning singing the chorus of this for the Chosen One's arrival for years.

 

[Dribble]

Cool! We've got our own version of this & play it at all home games... :-)

He would cost around 25/30m less! Brighton would want 100m rather have Bellingham for 130m

Would prefer Bellingham , but also like McCallister and will be disappointed to see him land somewhere else in the summer. Again , if his cost climbs to silly numbers would expect us to move on if we are even interested. Think he will go for £70m to £80m as if offer came in think he would demand move but agree Brighton won't sell cheap.

All in all , think Bellingham is a done deal to city.

i think we will go for both mate to be honest as the money for jude was there anyway and the sale of the likes of Doyle, Mcatee, THB along with others will pay for Mac Allister.

That would be the dream, but we would have to pay around 300m for the trio of Bellingham, Gvardiol, and Mac Allister. I hope we do it, but I just don't think we will.
