Jude Bellingham

[Giovinco]

Shame I think he would have have been another yaya toure type of player for us. Anyway if he doesn’t want to come to city then good luck to him!

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Hmm not sure what’s worse, the potential failure of a transfer or the idiots that come out of the woodwork trying to WUM and get one over on little old city

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

He’s shite, never wanted him anyway.

He's not 'shite', but he's massively over-hyped. Anyone would think he's the new Messi the way the British media are fawning over him, but as the 'great' Paul Merson once said - "I just don't see it Jeff".

To the Declan Rice thread ;)

Seriously though, nothing from the City end unless they brief something tonight after the game.

Don't see why would we be after Rice unless Pep wants to play 442 formation so then Rice could play alongside Rodri.
But priority should be Bernardo to stay.

I realise this will likely come across as sour grapes, but as long as he doesn’t go to either Liverpool or United, I’m not that fussed where he ends up.

He’s a great player, with huge potential - so it would have been hard watching him fulfil that at a rival - but him at Madrid I can live with.

Good player no doubt, but I suspect many of us had never heard of David Silva, KDB, Bernado or Gundogan before they arrived at City with less than half the hype this lad has and on much smaller transfer fees. None of them turned out too shabby.

I suspect we will have a plan B and C up our sleeves.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

That suggests City don't know what's going on with these reports just yet!

John stones hybrid CB/DM role and rotation with Rodri at DM. Occasional cover at 8 position

Fuck Declan Rice, where's the Messi thread?

Rice would make sense as it would allow Alvarez in as a 10 long term.
