Jude Bellingham

[Tokyo32]

Wonder if they (Red shite) know that he's chosen you and are trying to save face by saying they want a rebuild with 2/3 top players, rather than spend most of the budget on one?

Seems strange that he's been number 1 priority all season, yet they have only just realised how much it would cost. Bollocks me thinks, it will be spun as Bellingham wanted them but due to Keita, AOC, Firmino leaving they needed to bolster the squad instead. So you, or whoever he chooses were second choice.

They are obviously trying to save face. They briefed all their journalists that they were bidding then suddenly decided he was too expensive. The narrative would be we didn’t have money to compete, he would have chosen us if we had money.

At the end of the day, I personally would have done the same thing Liverpool did. The prices are bonkers and there is a zero percent chance I spend that much on Bellingham. Only Mbappe could make me spend that amount of money.

When Bellingham watches that game and sees that Gundo is getting a pay day to go to Barca on a free, thus opening a perfect spot for him in this team, he must salivate!

From there, it’s a matter of whether Bernie us staying (oh please, oh please, oh please) or whether we cash in on him to buy a young KDB development replacement.

If Gundo goes and Jude comes, that’s great. But, we still need another 20-23 yr old midfielder who can be built into a future City midfielder. Whether that’s someone we have already, someone we have sold and buy back, or someone we have identified overseas, we need to keep the conveyor belt running, so we don’t see any drop in squad strength.

THE FUTURE IS BLUE, and I hope Jude already realizes it!

Nights like tonight only solidify Jude’s decision imo.

“Liverpool have decided not to pursue a deal for Jude” report the guardian

And I’ve decided not to pursue a dinner date with Beyoncé

Go for it. I'd like to publicly state I'm no longer interested in shagging Beyonce because I need a summer rebuild so need to have group sex with several supermodels at once. Sorry Beyonce, your loss.

Liverpool end pursuit of Bellingham, the same time I anounce my retirement from international football.

Despite the fact I'm now entering my mid 30's, have multiple acl injuries that have all but crippled me and I'm shit at football, me getting an england call up seems like the more likely of the two and therefore the biggest shock.

They got shunned, Bellingham doesn't want to play kick and rush and cover taa for a europa conference league team.

I really really don't want him. £130M I'm sorry you can have all the potential in the world but for that price you need to hit the ground running instantly and become a star player for our team. The prices these days are honestly ridiculous. £130M for Bellingham.. wtf. We can be smarter than that and buy 2-3 players for that price.

But if pep is truly sold on Bellingham and really want him then there's nothing you can do but put your hands up support the decision.

Pep / city have never said we're after him?

Several supermodels you say, surely the analogy is a ‘couple of big uglies behind the bike shed’

We may or may not pay 130m for a player but it does not mean that they have to be an immediate world star. The guy is 19, and no player of that age is everything they are ever going to be, no matter how expensive they are.

We run a rounded business model. The individual fees paid for players are inconsequential because the whole model is a success. Does the 100m for Grealish matter if we are still a successful, profitable club? Are we not allowed to pay such a fee if we also happen to buy a World Cup winner for 15m and the biggest star in the world game for 55m?

Just as an example, we bought Torres, Bernardo and Gundo for the same fee as Pogba. We may equally buy Alvarez, Haaland and Bellingham for the same price as Nunez, Gakpo and Keita.

I don't know if we will buy Bellingham, but I know that if we do he will get my immediate support, and I will not be thinking about the fee.

Liverpool challenging the rags for this title.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Approximately 21:00 last night....


....then approximately 23:00 last night....

Haha someone in the comments of that first one reckons they could get Gvardiol for Matip plus £50/60m. They really are deluded.

I hope you don’t mind. I’m taking Beyoncé out tonight to our local chippy.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Are they scared of mentioning our name when it comes to signing Bellingham? Nobody ever mentions City, it’s weird.

That’s no way to talk about my mum!

 

[waspish]

Hope they let Bellingham down softly he was packed ready to move number already chosen the lot even leant the scouse anthem! Tattoo booked the lot!


This is Liverpool they are one arrogant self entitled club! They assume he wanted them and all they had to do was pay the fee!

Now if he comes to city it be all about the money as always! Because we all know players play for nowt at scouse land!

If he signs then give the lad a chance ffs.

The fee is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. If Pep wanted to play his cousin at LB and give him 100m a season I would support him. What more does he have to do before people will just sit back and enjoy what is happening on the pitch and stop caring about the media trolls banging on about transfers and net spend.

 

[waspish]

I can see Bellingham going to united if united are willing to pay ridiculous sums to Dortmund, the playr and his entourage.

We've seen it happen many times before. And to be fair to the players this time around Ten Hag isn't the obvious failed manager that the others played for. There might be a chance with him there that it's not a guaranteed disaster on the pitch.

If he comes to us great but I suspect that if he doesn't then Txiki has another much cheaper phenomenon lined up.

And again no one seem to think Bellingham has no say! Bellingham will pick his club!

 

[nmc]

Sky now focussed on talking up Gallagher and Mount - lol. I think the dippers maybe underwhelmed…. Gotta wonder what Klopp thinks about this…. Has the Coutinho money finally run out?

 

[merz]

in the german media sport bild (bayerns mouthpiece) they are now saying bellingham wants to go to real. he is not interested in manchester because we are owned by a sheikh. guess the result yesterday hurt
