Jude Bellingham

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

From the age of 15, yes.

ah Uefa kept the the limit. I thought that removed it to be inline with the FA one for some reason.

ta al.

I guess it would be weird to be association trained in two countries. It’s still possible though.

we have plenty of space either way.

Yeah, I was only responding to a guy who said we should go for him as he was English.

Not 100% sure how Ben is privy to their chats but there we are. More info below:

Let the saga begin

The rule is 3 years between 15-21. You can argue the toss with UEFA if you want. I don't have any influence on the ruling.

We have also proven that we don’t need a striker to win the league, you are correct there.

Winning the CL has nothing to do with a box to box midfielder. Barca managed it twice under Pep without one.

I was merely pointing out the stupidity of your reasoning, but Bellingham only needs 1 year at an English club before the season ends of the year he turns 21 to be used as an English player in Europe, so if we buy him in the summer it will be great, and if Dortmund keep him too long they will lose a lot of money,looks win win to me.

Whereas I was responding to your nonsensical reasoning…

If we don’t buy him next summer, he will never be association trained in England.

So we have established he is better than 2 players that we have, that while we have won the league it is a good ides to upgrade occasionally, Bellingham is English and if we sign him this Summer, as we are discussing he would be classified as a young player till he is 21 as Zinchenko was, and Association trained at the end of the season we bought him in Europe. Must have been difficult me describing Bellingham as English eh.

No, we haven’t. He’s not in the same league as Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne nor Bernardo. He’s younger and might get somewhere near their standard in 5 years or so.

Bellingham, and anyone else’s nationality is irrelevant to your point. Gael Clichy was French, yet Association Trained.

Bellingham could be English and foreign, unless we buy him next summer.

Is this another thread that goes in circles?

How can he not be better than Gundogan he had him for breakfast when we played Dortmund, i really can not see why you would be protecting him, he is almost certainly going to leave this Summer.
My point is and was Bellingham is English and i would like City to buy him THIS summer, as a side note he improves our squad at a time uncertainty surrounds 4 of our English players,

 

[Phil1]

He looks a good prospect but anybody thinking he’s better than Gundo after performing well against him a couple of times has got to be one of the most batshit assertions I’ve ever read on here. Haha!

I'd also debate that he had him for breakfast ;)

Recency bias innit.
Gundo is fucking quality.

Seems weird that we won that game and restricted Dortmund to about 3 shots.

He did deflect a shot with his head to score a nice goal.

Like Shaw scored against us a few years back and is English. How much should we be buying him for?

An all you can eat super-ticket for Greggs?

 

[Kamaro011]

A divided opinion in player transfer thread?

Exactly the reason we will buy him 100m+ next season.
