There’s a huge “Raheem Sterling” gap in your memory there!

Fair comment. The treatment Raz got from opposition fans and the media, was entirely unmerited! But I felt eventually that dwindled and he was respected towards the end of his time with us.

Didn't Zinchenko have some way crazier record when it came to not losing or dropping points with us? I think you're giving too much importance to a statistic that on the surface sounds impressive but, in reality, doesn't really say what you think it does.

Not that the whole "game changer" thing isn't a load of bollocks anyway. Whoever brought that nonsense up really needs to work on their understanding of the game.
 
I can't wait for Bellingham to blossom from an already quality player into a legitimate world class one. With that kind of development in mind, there's no better place for him to be at than with us and I think he knows it.

The other options don't stack up and it will be great to watch the backtracking and mental gymnastics from their fans when it happens. It's all too familiar at this point and I fucking love it.

Following on from Grealish, I assume? …during that 1st half against Leeds, I was well with them tbh! He brings on a lot of the boo’s himself. Prior to Grealish, I can only think of Bellamy that was booed without reason. Grealish is a player that every other fan will always love to hate, as was Bellamy.. I’m not sure Bellingham will be.

Raheem
 
So he's off to Madrid because that's the best place for young talent, FFS!! I'd have thought Manchester City with Pep as our Manager building a young team with talent like Haaland Foden and Lewis would be a better idea.
 
So according to the drip drip in the media Bellingham is nailed on for both the Dippers and Real Madrid - good job we have no interest in him !

Definitely panto villain syndrome.....but neither were the 'boos' without reason.Much like Jack,the opposition believed,with good merit,that he bought fouls and went down far too easily.

My view of it was the main reason opposition fans across the board were booing Raheem was a lot more to do with the hatchet job the myriad Liverpool client journos did on him for having the temerity to leave their club than anything that was going on on the pitch.

He was booed loudly from day 1 in a way he had never been at his former club, and the way he played hadn’t changed much - just the club he played for!

Pantomime Villain syndrome, like you say.

Not sure I can agree with your assessment NvW as the dippers and their cult followers are classy and fair minded :)
 
If he does sign, it's feels like quite a shift over the last 6/7 years towards English players. There was a time when we wouldn't pay the 'English tax', but if he does come that's, Bellingham, Grealish, Foden, Walker, Stones and Phillips in the squad. I wonder if that's a general improvement in English players standards or another perceived need to sign home based lads?

Yeah,definitely hugely contributed,but neither did he help himself.

Playing in our shirt also carries a certain 'burden'.

Looking at the standard across the board at the WC.....id say its an improvement on our shores,and one that should have seen us return having performed better.
 
Dortmund already got their replacement lined up, Dortmund journalist saying Dortmund have made the decision to go for Kamada in the summer.

I reckon Jude leaving will be announced the same month Haaland was announced as having a agreement with us, Dortmund like to do their business early even before the window opens.

Probably only after he called certain sections of the media out for racism, which then stopped the constant negative stories which were a big reason for the booing in the first place.
