Even Rio said it was bouncing.

I think the cheating smackhead is becoming a convert.

From the BBC
“A number of accounts are tweeting that according to German publication Bild, the sought after midfielder has ruled out a move to either Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris St-Germain because he wants to play for a club with values like "passion, honour, and reputation", rather than money.”

If that’s true, it will be interesting to see where he finally ends up

Nailed on for Forest Green Rovers then.

I see Miggy is doing a Sam Lee & we’ve just misunderstood his article. You’ve got to feel for these professional writers, it can’t be easy, it’s not as if it’s not the sole purpose of their trade.

Anyway apparently the chasm was based on football ability & not financial & he didn’t even realise he’d written “financial disparity.”

Wonder how long he keeps this up

Can we get a special round of applause for the Liverpool fan on Football365’s mailbox complaining that City have “a victim mentality”

That’s a Liverpool fan, for the avoidance of doubt

Pure projection.

As a professional "writer" he's probably paid around £300k a year. You'd think someone paid that much, in a job like that, might be able to meet a basic requirement to express himself clearly and unequivocally, based on facts.

Christ, the shit I'd write for that money...

He probably doesn't believe any of it himself.

Of course it isn't true. It's a misquote of a misquote with a made up conclusion.

As far as I can make out the lines about 'passion' etc, are not a misquote from Bild, it's just made up. But Bild does report that Bellingham doesn't want to go to City or Chelsea. (Doesn't mean it's true, obviously).

Many other clubs are also out of the question for Bellingham. He has made a decision, as the BVB bosses know, not to switch to any sheikh or billionaire club. Manchester City and Chelsea are considered unattractive and soulless for the midfield strategist, as is Paris Saint-Germain. This narrows the circle of candidates. Barcelona have no money, Bayern have no need for Bellingham's position in central midfield.

no way he is paid anything remotely like that much

Hmmmm

When you factor in all the expenses, travel, hospitality and free ticket he gets it's probably not far off.

Never forget.
