Jude Bellingham

Hendo and the river trent trying to get him to the dippers. You could play with both of us and we are not overrated that much.

I think he is a massive hype job and for the price quoted is crazy. More value to be had in Europe .

Do you think the club think that though ?

Probably not . We have had the best scouting system for years now and surely he would have been noticed at Birmingham before Dortmund came in. Just think there will be better value out there and in the next couple of seasons we need ti be looking at kdb future replacement and in my eyes that would be Martin odergaard who is top drawer .

Then we won’t buy him, on the other hand if we do then that’s okay because as you say they know what they are doing.The best value is the best player,price isn’t relevant if the club want to pay it then they will pay it.

And why would Dortmund agree to take an old. player on high wages who is on last leg of his career! ? And why would Mahrez who just signed extension leave? It'd easy moeny for him

Wft would scouse scum be in the front?!

By all accounts Liverpool have been after him for a while. Apparently it’s a similar situation to when Liverpool signed VVD, if the rumours are true? Liverpool are utterly desperate for a play maker. Bellingham would be perfect.

But that doesn’t me he wouldn’t consider City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Chelsea.(with their new money) United don’t stand a chance! Having Haaland, Foden, and Grealish playing alongside him would be a massive incentive to sign for City, never mind having Pep as your manger. City have also got a good relationship with Dortmund.

Your last sentence surprises me; I thought the opposite was the case.

Comparing a 180cm build player vs a 170cm build player on first touch is a little bit unfair.

But I get your point.

I don't think Bellingham is very technically good as the most people believe. His style and body language perhaps confuse it. It is very obvious how Italian side targeted and pressed him&Reece James on the right side, especially throw ins, because they are not technically poorer than Italian players . He is a more off-the-ball style b2b midfielder rather than Bernado/Foden/Grealish the on-the-ball style.

Sadly this part of the game won't be improved much once you reach 20. But I still think Bellingham is a very good player because he offers a lot of runs and defensive contributions. It can inject some much needed energy into our midfield given KDB/Gundo's age.

Height does have a part to play but not always Stones vs Walker or even Dias, Technically Bellingham is a novice but the quality is there to see if you want to, i thought he had a good game against Italy and James struggled due to too much being asked of him,i believe most players improve this part of their game with experience and reduced pace due to age, my beliefs obviously but the only English player that comes close to him where he plays is Ramsey.
