Jude Bellingham

[waspish]

Does Bellingham improve our midfield? Yes. Is £100Mn the correct fee to be paid? Probably not. Potentially losing Gundog and Bernie next summer I'd say this is THE player we should be going for.

He does and I think he will bring something else hunger and drive he is captain material

FFS Tranny went on a free and yet you would pay £100 million for him...
Thank fuck you aren't in charge of our transfers

look at my other replay I said into their 30's and a few years back, not right at the exact moment. they were undoubtably game changers even in their 30's which bellingham is not.

you are day dreaming if you think our midfield will not downgrade by replacing gundo or bernardo with bellingham. we will be worse in the short term atleast in hope he comes good later.

100% a Gerrard/Vieira hybrid almost, everything other than a ridiculous fee means a yes from me. I scratch my head over who we go for instead if Jude doesn't come

Who do we sign then? Given Gundog may leave for free and we get an acceptable offer for Bernie. Who is achievable for less than £100Mn?

You said " I would still pay that for them as they are game changers"

I get you don't rate Bellingham so who would you suggest we go for..
It's looking likely that both Gundo and Bernie will leave at the end of the season so we definitely need to replace at least one of them.

We will be a different team if we get him! Silva brings that energy to the team he doesn’t bring lots of goals or assist! We will miss Gundogan more and I hope he signs an extension!

I didn't say I don't rate bellingham. I just don't rate him as 130 mil or that he will be a game changer. my issue was people here thinking he is just going to drop into our midfield and run the game like our current midfielders.

for the record I still think we should get bellingham, as the highest level of midfielders like kroos, kimmich are out of our reach. just saying temper your expectations on bellingham and maybe slowly introduce him in the midfield. maybe put him higher up the pitch where his inexperience will hurt us less. and put gundo or KDB deeper and sell bernardo. also get another top young prospect like perrone to reduce our future risk.

no rice please!

Kroos, Messi and ronaldo. Bloody hell mate, we might as well get the cast from Last of the Summer Wine.

Fair enough mate...
I'm not sure any player is really worth £130million myself but then again it's not my money.
If Pep thinks he's the player we need then I'm happy to back his judgement..and too be fair Bellingham seems a very good player who has a good engine and can get from box to box.
He also has an eye for goal but he's not going to be a prolific goalscorer but should still score enough.

Do they have their Bellingham alternative locked for the summer? Jude’s really coming isn’t he?

I get it, a lot of people want the shiny new toy rather than the tried and trusted player. £100Mn plus is a gamble with any player but Bellingham IMO is more likely to be a success than not. I don't think we'd go to that amount of money. I think £100Mn is likely to be our cut off. Fernandez being a good barometer for a fee.

So it begins....

What they going to pay for him? Wolves have only just bought him for upwards of 50m. He must have some sort of release clause.

A well watered short length pitch obviously

£44m. I thought at the time it seemed a very weird deal him going to Wolves, considering City, Liverpool and others were looking at him. Not sure what kind of get-outs or agreements he has in the deal with Wolves, but you’d think there’s definitely something. It always felt like a very short term move. Weird one.

Its pretty simple. Jorge Mendes runs Wolves transfers. He moves players around to get his commission and keep his name in the press.

The add-ons that were in the original deal won't have been met so Wolves will probably make a few million, Mendes gets his cut and the dippers get their player.
