Jude Bellingham

Also stops our rivals from improving.

I'm convinced it's behind Bingo's "we cannot compete" whining.

There’s no way the scousers buy him. Would blow their wage structure apart unless he’s playing for free.

Think you are spot on. Put in an approach and told him to jog on.

Possibly,something recent has definitely got under his skin.

He won’t even entertain them if they don’t get top four plus FSG won’t pay what we will pay

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He doesn't have to be better than either and, to be honest, you'll have a hard time finding anyone who is.

He's got a hell of a lot more experience than either did at his age (never mind at a much higher level) and that doesn't count for nothing.



This is the trap people have been falling into since Pep arrived. Haaland wasn't a Pep striker, Walker wasn't a Pep right back and so on and so on. De Bruyne isn't exactly anyone's idea of a typical Pep midfielder either.

The only real consistent is that Pep loves quality players with the right attitude. Their skill sets all vary wildly.

Yeah, but not in midfield.

Foden and Grealish you’d have thought would be shoo ins for a Pep midfield, but they aren’t trusted.

 

[paulchapo]

This is a bit like the Pogba thread when it looked like we would sign him. The lads not a bad player but whether he's going to be a world class or not the jury's still out for me.

 

[Kamaro011]

Coz Gundo, Bernardo and KDB is still fit and healthy.

Nah, they play too many games. If Pep trusted the other two, there’d be far more rotation.

Pep trusted them but at the moment they are in lower pecking order. Only the injury of two i mentioned above will force Pep to make either Phil or Jack move to midfield position. Pep thinks Bernardo, KDB and Gundo is still fit and able to play so they will be given most chances whenever they are available.

Ok, have a good day.

It's just my speculation on my part, in no way i know his head. But i like the way Foden developed this season hopefully next season he will be given a go at his true and natural position.

There’s still a lack of trust, which is why we overplay our 3 8s,

More like as long they fit and avalaible, Pep will given chances to those three the most. We are still in critical phase of season to make much poin as possible, so those three will do the job because they are proven,

Agree wonder why he doesn’t trust Grealish in the Gundo role? Or Mahres think foden will play in there and has in a few games but just for minutes!

He talks about Foden needing to improve his “pausa”, but not sure he will without minutes at 8. Palmer might even be ahead of him as a back up 8.

Not sure about Grealish. There must be something he doesn’t like.

Maybe its in game football intelligence that you need to play in midfield for Pep..

Which brings us nicely full circle to Bellingham…

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Signing Bellingham is a no brainer. He's the most talented midfielder, at his age, in Europe.

They’ve already been briefing about moving onto alternatives like Musiala, who they also won’t get
