I don’t believe it. How old?
You think we didn't have our eyes on him? It's not about scouting it's about giving chances. Look no further , people here keep on saying same thing, out players aren't ready to play hell even Foden was subject to same comments last season while Dortmund give chances. It's their model it has worked. We prefer buying for £40/50/60m and this is our model and it has worked even if it was expensive model.As for Scouting, I read long time back that we have network of 40+ scouts worldwide.I would be interested to read their reports what did they scout bcoz on paper for first team we haven't unearthed quality players for cheap. We were after Kounde last summer who was valued at €70m after just one year after signing from Bordeaux.We could have signed him probably then but we waited for his price to increase or probably thought he is not ready for TOP LEVEL footballCan we sign Dortmunds Chief Scout?
I would imagine our scouts know about pretty much everybody.You think we didn't have our eyes on him? It's not about scouting it's about giving chances.

It’s a yes for me if he can stay at 17 forever.
If we don't buy him inside the next few weeks he will be 18Bellingham is fantastically good at 17 - way, way before his prime. If we can sign him at any reasonable price we should do so.
Has been.If we don't buy him inside the next few weeks he will be 18
Tongue-in-cheek I guess?If we don't buy him inside the next few weeks he will be 18
Borussia Dortmund will trigger a clause in Jude Bellingham's contract when he turns 18 later in June, which will extend the England midfielder's deal with the Bundesliga club until 2025Tongue-in-cheek I guess?
There's no point in signing someone just because they fit into the PL squad rules if it means we have to leave someone out of the UEFA squad. You have to plan for the lowest common denominator.Tongue-in-cheek I guess?
Bellingham is - alongside Foden - the potentially best future (current?) player in England.
If we have any chance whatsoever of signing him, we should 100% do so - the "homegrown player" and so-forth P/L rules only make this potential signing more obvious.
Even absent the P/L rules for England players - a Bellingham signing would be a huge potential boost to our side. Sign him!!!! Please.
Heresy, he'll be 17 forever.If we don't buy him inside the next few weeks he will be 18
well he was just 17
and you know what i mean
Pervwell he was just 17
and you know what i mean
He was offered ridicules money from the scum and he didn’t want to go there he wanted Dortmund because they guaranteed him playing time so his next move will be to a club he plays but can see him staying at Dortmund for another year or two at least..
