La Liga

A once in a generation opportunity. He's the complete package. He's been doing the business for dortmund both domestically and in the CL. He's on another level now.

That goal output from midfield adds so much to a team. But his general play, influence, domination of midfield ... his assists and defensive work make him the real deal even without 14 goals in 16 games. An absolute steel.

You lads may well of been top of table if he had gone to you lot with those stats  😂

With Bellingham and Kane in the form they are, anything less than Euro champions for England will be a failure.

Absolutely no hiding place for Southgate.

Like I’ve said Frankly, we have a side capable of winning the World Cup but a very very suspect manager 🤦‍♂️

It was the biggest mistake for decades of us not to go all in for Jude.

Not a mistake, if we already knew Madrid were interested in him. I imagine Madrid had that move boxed as soon as the world cup ended.

Bellingham, (like 99.9% of players) was always going to go to RM once his personal finances (wages) were agreed. I wish we could stop referring to him as the one that got away...he unsurprisingly preferred to go to the biggest club in World football and there's literally nothing we could have done to change that.

But found a very good option instead.

It's why I liken it to the Mo situation. He wasn't first option, but what he has done in a red shirt has been breathtaking, that it makes you go "Julian who"

If Dom us even close to that why should we give a F**k about Bellingham.

After a year long charm offensive maybe if we'd offered 85m that would have been a start. As it was we did fcuk all and just leaked it out to the press he was too expensive and then Madrid moved in. And just to rub the salt in after deciding a generational talent was too expensive at 85m we carried on, did our business and then offered 115m for caicedo.

Madrid don't just move in, during that charm offensive which completely had F**k all to do with the actual club, how many times do you think Madrid had conversations telling him wage, plus bonuses etc etc, so by the time we were supposedly offering £85 million that would of got us laughed at by Dortmund

Is that the same laughing Dortmund that sold him for 85m plus addons.

The charm offensive with Henderson and Trent was clear to see for a long period of time. And it wasn't an accident. And we did nothing in the summer of 2022 because we wanted him ...

I should probably move on from Jude though eh. Dead duck now.

What exactly is the point of bringing up all these if's and maybe's?.....seriously he plays for another club..TBH...I'm fed up hearing about him

And what do those add ons add up to? Then throw in his wages. We couldn't F***ing afford him.

Surely people are still not crying about Bellingham ffs

right. That´s what I mean. If Jude would have got the much better salery in Madrid, okay.
But we didn´t even try to really get him. Saying very earlly, no, way to expensive.

Surely people can post what they want without you moaning about it.

We needed more than one player

It was clear we had about £100mil to spend and we needed at least 3 players

So the club decided instead of blowing most of that they would bring in Gary Mac and Dom to start with

It was only when Fabinho and Henderson left that more money went into the coffers

Bellingham didn’t come to us - he isn’t the first and won’t be the last

Instead we got - Gary Mac, Dom , Endo and Gravenburch and we are looking very refreshed

It’s time to move on - Bellingham has had a great start - so have the likes of Dom , Gravenburch for us

Bellingham and Kane fit nicely into Southgate's preferred formation of 4-2-3-1. Kane as the 9, Bellingham as the 10 and then Rashford, Saka, whomever as the wingers. That's a very good attacking front 4.

I think England's problem is the CBs, don't really have 2 who are world class. I think he probably needs to play 2 DMs (Rice and Philips/Henderson) to protect them.

I was in the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in 2014 when they had just completed 'La Decima'. It was already impressive back then. I can only imagine what it's like now. I must revisit.....

Jude Bellingham now has 14 goals in 15 games from midfield. This is the highest tally in Madrid history for a player in their first 15 games.

Generational player at a steel of a price. High level theft. What's he worth in the market today?

the engineering is awesome. fair play to them.

Bellingham now has more goals in a season than any Madrid midfielder this century after 2 more goals yesterday. What a player.
