I hope we never pay big money for a Bundesliga player, especially from Dortmund, again. We’ve been bitten too many times. The kind of figures being throw around for Bellingham are insane.
Jude Bellingham | Signed for Madrid

Adidas would pay his transfer full or what? Real Madrid is an Adidas sponsored club too.
But we'll make his money back in shirt sales really quickly. And we have 333m fans worldwide.
We don't get a cut of jersey sales. We get a lump from Adidas every year, which is subject to increase if we qualify for Europe or participate in a competition likely to increase the visibility of their product.
Anyway, grown men shouldn't be seen dead in public wearing a football jersey.
I really don't think we'd go for him because we need someone technical to pull the strings - we're going with Casemiro + Bruno for next season. I think you pair them with guys like Jorginho, Thiago or FdJ not Bellingham.
Eriksen's doing a decent job but he's still a #10 playing deep.

That's exactly what we need
I think so as well. Bellingham is a Bruno/KdB type of midfielder who offers goal threat but also loses many balls, nobody to really control the flow of the game. So far I haven't seen a team that plays two of those types successfully.
If I were you, I'd speculate that Barca has to get rid of de Jong to finance Messi. He'd be perfect.
Such simple childish logic.
The big difference is Bellingham plays well for England while Sancho doesn’t. Bellingham be a great signing.
Bellingham would be the ideal signing for what EtH wants to do with this team and he'd be a great partner for Casemiro....he'd bring a completely different element than say Caicedo, Mcallister, Rice even De Jong
I guess there is zero chance of Tchouameni or Camavinga? It’s Modric or Kroos leaving?
What a club man.
He wouldn't really bring control though? Doesn't strike me as that sort of player
As much as I'm bummed out by us not getting him, I can just about accept him going to Madrid.
What a midfield they have
What a midfield they have
They are all staying. Camavinga features a lot at LB but in general they are set in midfield for the future now.
Yeah no shit
Sniff sniff.. smells like..

What a midfield they have
Will be interesting to see how their midfield functions without Kroos or Modric pulling strings.
None of their midfielders would be that hyper-technical creative player, so they’ll have a much more physical, albeit still pretty technical midfield 3.
Can see him doing the reverse trajectory of most players and going to Madrid until he’s 24/25 then coming to the PL for his peak.
I thought it was 1 billion worldwide. We’d make the money back in 48 hours.
Already speaking in past tense...sounds like it's all but wrapped up
In that case we should never buy a premier league player again as we’ve been bitten many times by them as well.
But he's mates with Trent and Henderson?
Done deal.
It’s been a catastrophic strategy for Liverpool chasing him for last few years.
City in the mud
Liverpool in the mud
United not in the race

Where's that City fan who was adamant he was going to them like he was ITK or something?
The famous ITK on Bluemoon was telling them Bellingham to City was as good as done
Don't worry guys, he's coming to United in 2029
Little bit surprised that he’s not going to go to City for a few years. Then just follow Haaland to Madrid in a few years carrying a sack full of trophies.
There's a City fan on Bluemoon who has been claiming that its a done deal to them since December!
Absolutely. If we aren’t getting him im delighted he’s going to Madrid.
Hopefully one of Tchouamani, Valverde or Camavinga become available.
That's probably where he's got it from then, oops
Wont he be like 26 at that time? Madrid usually sell to us us when the player is (approaching) 30.
I thought Spanish football was skint though?
Tchouameni the weakest of the three, the other two are untouchable I’d expect, Camavinga is better than Bellingham imo
Feared he would go to City so im pleased
Gosh what a club are Real Madrid !
I wish we had competent board like them.
That's how you do it, replacing Kroos, ,Modric and Casemiro with Jude, Camavinga and Tchouameni.
Proper run club
we can never have this with the Glazers.
