Jude Bellingham

[River Plate]

Is it just me that would prefer Musiala?

Nope, not just you. Musiala's dribbling ability is the best I've seen on a player since Messi. I don't know why there isn't more hype around him.

Unobtainable

We have a better chance of getting Davies out of Bayern than getting Musiala and getting Davies out of Bayern isn't a small feat. Its like trying to get Prime Messi out of Barcelona, but hey who knows, things might change and we find ourselves with Bayern's Prized JEWEL. Maybe his the big fish Txiki is targeting, which I doubt.

Is it just me that would prefer Musiala?

Not just you - me as a Bayern fan, too. Musiala is a great character - not just a great player. He is very down to earth - somewhat the hype around him does not bother him too much - and he is really eager to learn to complete his skills.

Bellingham - my problem is that he seems to believe the hype around him and does not have the surrounding to bring him down to earth. It is the whole behaviour I do not like. Maybe it is just the situation - he is the star at Dortmund whereas Musiala has some other stars around him that have won everything.

I see he’s commented on Haaland’s IG post. According to the Echo, that’s a given he’s now signing for us, right?

I think that’s just his personality. He knows he’s good and he’s confident about it, why not? All top players need a bit of arrogance to them.

Great box to box player, i see him as a ‘prime Gerard’ type but I am always weary of the hype factor…deep down I love the ‘world class prospect‘ low hype Julian Alvarez type…just me…

I’m seriously torn on this one
I want to get him so the dippers don’t
But I also think someone like mcallister would be a cheaper alternative
Bellingham has the potential and time given his age but don’t forget he has never played on the premier league let alone every week in it
and the bundesliga is a lo tree weaker (sancho, Werner, havertz etc)
I think he is a bit overrated to be honest
£125m is madness

Gündogan, De Bruyne, Höjbjerg...

I could have told you exactly how Havertz and Werner would perform in the EPL and this teams before they transferred. Werner really needs to be pampered and have a special setup to perform - else he just is a waste. And the hype for Havertz already was too big for his performances in Germany. And Leverkusen already had something better coming in the pipe with Wirtz who really is a gem.
Sancho surprised me - but with talents you never know how they work in other environments. He actually never really was the system player the other BVB players were that failed at their new places. But other environment, lack of selfconfidence, girlfriends and surrounding really have a big influence, too.

Bellingham is great on the pitch - but until now he lacks a special defensive sense that he really has to learn when he wants to succeed. I just do not like the behaviour of him and his arrogance - even to team members that aren't as good as he is.

I’d have Mac Allister and Kovacic instead of Bellingham.

I’d have Mac Allister and Kovacic instead of Bellingham.

MacAllister wouldn’t be a cheap option… WC winner and Brighton generally get top dollar for their players! He’d be £60-70m plus, just as Caceido would be. Kovacic might be below market value, with just a year left, but they’d argue they paid £47m for Sterling in the same situation. No player comes cheap, because if they’re good enough, then the selling club know their worth.

£120m for Bellingham seems exorbitant, but it’s about par for the course these days.

 

[Bernard20]

Watching ‘lil Micky Owen on BT, get worked up about Liverpools demise is funny… his response was only to say that they need Bellingham. He even said that City buying Haaland, scuppered their chances to get him last summer (because Dortmund wouldn’t sanction both) and he was unobtainable in January and almost suggested it was a guarantee in the summer… not only all of that fanciful shite, but the idea that Jude alone would turn around their fortunes is laughable! Interspersed with the usual shite about them competing with the mighty City and their spending, on a shoestring!

It’s laughable tbh and I so wish for Jude to end up with us! ..equally, because he’s a class player and the fallout from the scouse mafia will be priceless!

Owen seemed to be suggesting that Bellingham was going to Liverpool mate?

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Owen is a prick who achieved the distinction of being hated by the fans of every club he played for.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Jude has got to be smart here and not be dumb enough to join a poor Liverpool side in transition because of sentimentality. His family also have to abandon their sentiments and do what's best for his career, only 2 clubs offer that nowadays; Manchester City and Real Madrid

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Owen seemed to be suggesting that Bellingham was going to Liverpool mate?

yeah ok

 

[Bernard20]

Owen seemed to be suggesting that Bellingham was going to Liverpool mate?

Yes, almost adamant it was a foregone conclusion.

 

[Bernard20]

yeah ok

I read it as them genuinely asking the question, so not sure ‘yeah ok’ is warranted… it does seem prevalent, that a lot of scousers assume it’s happening… I want us to sign Jude, but I’d be almost as happy if he signed for Crystal Palace! Basically, at this point, anyone but the bin dippers, because their self righteousness is off the scale.

 

[Silva2021]

Ferdinand TBF called out the tapping up and said if Bellingham signs for them, that the likes of Gerrard, Carragher and Owen had literally swam the tide to bring him over.

He went onto say that if you were player watching that you would have doubts joining this Liverpool side and trophies are more likely with other clubs l. Felt he deliberately did not name check ourselves and instead kept mentioning Madrid (however he was analysing that game, so could just be me).

Crouch despite Liverpool connections seems a top bloke and said you I can’t disagree with that.

Little Mikey however looked absolutely gob smacked that someone said Liverpool was not the best place in the world ever.

He looks gormless at the best of times, but this was peak

Liverpool don't help themselves at times.
