the candle dippers won’t pay the fee required, neither will Chelsea . No one else in Europe could so the real question is does he want to move and where?

Hoping Newcastle don't go intergalactic for this lad...
This aged wellHe plays for England, that shows as much potential he may have he will be way over hyped.

I'm assuming Jude is responsible for this?Taking nothing away from Bellingham. He is a good player. But! He’s had 2 good games out of 4 games in the World Cup. He was abysmal against the USA. Let’s see how he does against France. Dortmund are currently 6th in the Bundesliga.

If I had a choice of keeping Bernardo & not signing Bellingham it would keeping the little terrier every time.

I think we may have reached the point where that “trade” is looking like good, solid, long term business.If I had a choice of keeping Bernardo & not signing Bellingham it would keeping the little terrier every time.
Love Bernie to death, but it’s not the club that’s trying to get rid of him and when one of the best young midfielders in the world is available, and he’s English, then you have to move mountains to try to procure his talent.
He looks the complete package.

I don’t think he’s as good as Bernie. I’ve heard them say with Bellingham you get a 6,8&10 but Bernie does that goes on both wings plays 9 & all within 10 minutes.
As you can tell I’m rather attached to the scruffy little fvker ;)
I totally agree though if Bernie’s heart is set he’ll be a good replacement. I just don’t see it as an improvement.

I have no clue what Bernardo was like at 19 but I’d be amazed if he was even half as good as Bellingham is. Bernardo was playing for Benfica’s B team at that age. Honestly, Bellingham is going to eclipse Bernie, and I love him. Playing the long game is what’s going to keep us at the top. Not as good as Bernardo right now, but in 2,3,4,5 years? He is going right to the top.I don’t think he’s as good as Bernie. I’ve heard them say with Bellingham you get a 6,8&10 but Bernie does that goes on both wings plays 9 & all within 10 minutes.

I don't know what people were arguing what with you but personally don't see any resemblances to Toure.
Toure had a skill set that was purely offensive, at times a match winner, and especially in the very big moments.
To me Bellingham is a more all round influence, he may never score the worldies that Yaya could, but over 90 minutes, what a prospect this lad is.
The point you make about City now being able to concentrate all their resources on one major player reveals how brilliant our recruitment has been.
Nothing can be guaranteed but let's hope this one happens.
The Toure comparison was simply for the second goal, the way he received it deep and drove through the middle.
I've said a few times, he reminds me of Bryan Robson in most of what he does?
As you say, Bellingham will cover more yards in 90 minutes than Yaya did in his last two seasons.
We need this player who can go front to back, but also side to side.

So then we have to pay it. He's already twice the player Jack is and we paid £100mil for him. We made our bed with that fee so now we have to sleep in it.He's a great player, but his price tag will inevitability be higher than Grealish and he'll command a higher wage I'm sure.
He won't be worth it.
If we refuse to pay the mind-boggling fee, someone else won't and they'll be left with the best young midfielder in the world.

Karius and Suarez, to name but 2 ex-Liverpool players, agree with Mad-dy.
Dippers getting giddy.
They are a weird bunch of people aren’t they? They didn’t seem to respect Roy Hodgson when they wanted him gone as well. Didn’t respect Patrice Evra neither when he played at Anfield because of the fact one of their players had racially abused him.

Deli Ali & Michael Johnson say hi.
Players potential doesn’t always continue at the same trajectory. I’m not dissing Bellingham but I do believe we underestimate what we have.

City have to be all in for him. He is England's best player.
after Phil ;-)
I fear his World Cup performances will accelerate Real Madrid’s determination to sign him asap rather than miss out on him. (Especially as they’re going to sign Haaland in 2024 did you know!!)The Toure comparison was simply for the second goal, the way he received it deep and drove through the middle.

I doubt they’ll get Haaland in 2024 but I do think our chances of signing Bellingham are low.

It will be a nice surprise for you then.
