Of course they are...Spanish press reporting that Bellingham is no longer a priority for Real Madrid.
I seem to remember a similar statement about Haaland just before he signed for City.
He isn’t double that he’ll be about £125 mill, so £25 mill more than Grealish but 6 years younger . Not that the price matters once on the pitch unless you worry about media comparisons, I couldn’t care less.I'd say 75 mil. But Jude at 150 is double that. Pretty much impossible to live up to that price tag. I'd love to get Bellingham. I'm just saying that's some number, for anyone.

The red shite fans (and my brother who is one) have been worked up for hours as one of their big twitter accounts posted this and set them all off thinking Bellingham would be announcing he's joining them today. All tweeting Paul Joyce.
Turns out its a Firmino interview, im pissing myself here.
I'm still getting excitement shivers off that.
He’ll be renamed £130m Jude Bellingham before the ink is dry. His age also won’t get mentioned again.Be interesting to see if the media turn opinions on bellingham as a prospect if we do sign him.
Was easier with haaland to talk rubbish about his quality given hes not english and so the country isnt invested in him, but we’ve had 2 years of hype on bellingham from the english media.
Signing for city shouldnt change that sentiment… but will it
His age also won’t get mentioned again.
Spitty Carragher might know the answer?What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
I sort of agreeIs it just me that is uncertain of Bellinghams quality.
When we got Haaland it looked obvious to me he’d score bucket loads.
they turned on Sterling pretty quick!Be interesting to see if the media turn opinions on bellingham as a prospect if we do sign him.

And every man and dog say he doesnt fit our system and how its the wrong move for himHe’ll be renamed £130m Jude Bellingham before the ink is dry. His age also won’t get mentioned again.
I sort of agree
He looks very good for his age BUT i dont think he is as good as some people make out he is at the moment....he has HUGE potential however..
I think there is a lot of work to do with him...he is raw....I dont think he has the technical ability of players like David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Gundo, Yaya or any of them really - but he may in the future...he may not get to that point though
What he does have that very few/ any of those didnt have however is a box to box ability.....He also has a bit of an eye for goal (though so did a lot of those mentioned above)
I think we may see a slight change in the way we play...i think we are already trying to be a bit more direct.....we seem to sometimes try and mix up the short, technical interchanges between players for much more direct running with the ball (Grealish, KDB being the main two protagonists of this) and quick forward balls (KDB again being the main man behind this) - i think this is where Bellingham may fit in.
For me who we bring in alongside him is probably as vital.....a lot of the other names mentioned excite me probably more than Bellingham
funny how opposing fans are so concerned about players fitting into our system how charitable of them. :)And every man and dog say he doesnt fit our system and how its the wrong move for him
