we await more news about the greedy overated arrogant lad from Birmingham I'm sure we'll hear all about his bad attitude and how he's a problem in the dressing room over the next few weeks
 
Think this would be a good signing. Clearly it’s a huge fee but I think having the face of English football will make him and us highly marketable plus English players carry a premium which means they hold value plus he could play for us for a decade. Or he smashes it and goes to RM in 3 years for 250m win win. Equally If it doesn’t happen I wouldn’t be too disappointed as Caicedo, Rice, Bruno G would be a lot cheaper and still add value to our side in my view. Rice especially has real leadership attributes as well as being a top player.
 
I personally can’t say I am excited that we are one of the only 2 clubs that can get him because I never rated him that highly and the prices quoted for him are absurd. I guess I just have to trust that Pep and the board know what is best for us.

Transfers that cost this much don't really excite me because it feels like the fee removes any headroom for the player to exceed expectations.

Bellingham will arrive for £130-150m and if he's not a 10/10 every single game, people will complain. And if he's the best midfielder of all time people will say "he better be, he cost more than most football clubs". etc.


I've always liked the signings in that £40-60m range where we get the player on the way up, then enjoy the journey as they develop and grow under Pep to become one of the very best in the world in their positions.

Agree with this mate, hopefully it’s us that is not allowing the noise about signing him as the media are setting the dipper fans up for a huge surge in candle sales if they don’t get him ;-)

I love it when a plan comes together ;)

Something about this I don't love. I think he's a marvelous player but the prices are really steep. I'd be much more comfortable if we knew there's a team willing to put 60m+ on Bernardo to balance it out.

We probably get around 100m for Laporte and Silva it also probably be a loan first with an obligation to buy at a certain fee like the Ferran Torres was!

If its £130m over 5 years then we only need to sell 1 or 2 academy players each year to cover it. Have to hope Saints stay up as we'll end up like the rags when Sunderland went down

Who cares what random 15yo slappers on BM and Twitter say about player perfomances. Log off once in a while mate.

Can't believe lads online think they have some deep insight regurgitating the criticisms of a deeply bitter Ibrahimović who couldn't hack it at the greatest club side of all time. Pathetic really.

I would absolutely love it if we ended up playing Milan in the CL final and Pep denied Ibrahimovic a CL winners medal in presumably his last game.
