Jude Bellingham

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He’s not a shadow of the player he was at Dortmund,his role is completely different nowadays and the job he’s asked to do isn’t the same.
What he does for us he does extremely well and the only surprise is you somehow keep comparing the two players when they have fuck all in common with each other.

Gundogan would have scored 12 against Villa in May for Dortmund, in half the time.

You obviously never watched him, we only got one of the best midfielders in the world, because everybody else thought the injuries had finished him including Dortmund.
Both play midfield neither are wingers so they are both going to play in the same area, they are of course nothing alike in skill set or experience.

 

[waspish]

Jude can be Gundo's understudy

Nope when silva goes he will fill his boot just because he can work as hard and has the skill to score and assist! I really hope Gundogan signs a new contract he is only 31 he goes to any rival he be there best player

Great player be a good signing
However the hype on this guy is ridiculous
Would he make our first xi now?

The hype is certainly a bit ridiculous at this point, But we always seem to do this as a country as we are approaching a big tournament. It seems one player always gets singled out as the man that’s going to carry the hopes of a nation. Last year at the Euro’s it was Grealish before the tournament, He was being touted as the new Gascoigne that could change games and the kids were changing their hair style and everything, Then he barely got any game time. The last World Cup it was Kane, although to be fair he did win a golden boot, so fair play.

This year it’s Bellingham it seems. Probably the most effective way to try to ruin a 19 year old, building him up as the nation’s favourite, especially if the team doesn’t do well

That said, I think he’s a hell of a talent, I would take him in a heartbeat and give him a couple of years of coaching with pep and he will be a real force as a player. I understand some people are already getting sick of the hype he’s getting and probably kicking back against it, but if anybody can’t see the ability that he has then I don’t know what they’re looking at because he is a brilliant talent, especially playing in that position at that at 19 and very comfortable.

I guess he's been told something by Haalands camp. Jude and Haaland are incredibly close. Jude even said at Dortmund if Haaland left he'd love to play with him again in another team. Alot of Dortmunds media for the past two years was about Haaland and Bellinghams friendship.

 

[Legal Alien]

It does seem we're an after-thought in these reports and the MSM are really desperate for him to go to one of the red teams.
I can't wait to see their faces when we unveil this lad.

 

[Dodgy Gangster]

Is he technically good enough to get in our team ? Every single one of our midfielders / forwards can have the ball pinged in to them in a very tight area and they’re good enough to kill it dead and either emerge from that area with the ball or find a team mate. Can he do that ?

If we can’t trust Foden who is fucking miles ahead of him far as talent goes then the answer is no.in case anybody is wondering what I mean by that im saying Foden is miles better than him, not even close and thinking otherwise is mental.

 

[skillman]

A lot of little hints in the media the past few days. Jack is a big one despite not naming Bellingham directly but that Fjortoft one even more so given his connections to Haaland.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

City have privately let it be known we are going big on a top midfielder next.

One of Bernie or Gundo will leave next summer, unlikely to be both, hopefully.

I heard back in the summer we had already made a move on Bellingham during the Haaland talks.

We have accelerated the usual timeframes because of the World Cup.

The 'only' aces we have are Pep and Erling, as the lad can get paid top dollar anywhere.

I think he’s good friends with Foden as well.

Plus there is the small fact we’ve won 4 of the last 5 league titles!

I know it may have been just a one off (and probably down to Bellinghams desire to win as much as anything) but that little confrontation they had recently at the end of the Dortmund game did get me questioning that.

hmm...sign in January and loan until June??

His value can (likely) only go up between January and June, though, so doesn't make sense for Dortmund to settle on a deal in January. Unless there's a clause of some sort.

I don't think it's that at all. The more I read the more I think the MSM know for a fact he's coming to us, but they've got a lot of papers to sell and clicks to get between now and when he signs. They're not doing that by repeatedly saying he's a City player, they have to engage everybody else to have anything else worth reading.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Enough legs and technical ability to drop into a double pivot and let Foden loose in the #10 behind Erling or himself play in the #8 with whoever. I'm in.

6/8/10 Pep could do anything with this kid tbh

If this guy told me City play in blue I’d question it. Chancer
