This make a lot of sense Billy, and ups my confidence in us signing him a bit. Only other distraction for him is, would he prefer to play in the sun for one of the Spanish outfits.
Not so sure he is so enamoured by the Spanish giants as perhaps South American player’s seem to be, he’s British born and it’s in his DNA to live & breath more naturally in a Northern climate rather than a Mediterranean one, apart perhaps from the attraction of earning millions more in £’s, but again money isn’t his sole objective, winning is, he knows he’s made for life now where ever he ply’s his trade, so no, I’m not so sure warmer climes are necessarily important to him,
He’s not a ‘Silly tw*t’ like Grealish or the equally silly Kalvin Phillips who both sacrificed regular playing days to warm the City bench for a few million dollars more, a slap in the face to those fellow professionals who would give both their nuts to have half the talent those two are wasting,
Jude Bellingham is switched on and already knows his path to success is to play with the best, now you ask yourself, if your Jude Bellingham, where would I have the best chance of achieving all that I want from my relatively short playing career?.. would it be at well established European club in rural Germany where the football style suits my developing career, where I’m very comfortable in a fairly tough environment or would I use this experience as a stepping stone, away from the poisonous and toxic British media who would undoubtedly be detrimental to my flourishing talents ?….and once I’m fully developed can think about the next stage of my career…
and what if you are Jürgen Klopp, and you are in the midst of rebuilding a midfield that will see you thru hopefully the next ten years, who & what kind of player would I want ?….if you put all the parameters in from both interested parties, and jumbled them all up and then shook the sh*t out of them, put them in a computer guess what two names would come out……Liverpool & Bellingham……it’s written in the stars ppl and sponsored by….Messer’s Henderson and Alexander Arnold…during Engurland sorties…. It’s why Neville panic’s whenever Jude’s name comes up…cos even he knows Bellingham is Anfield bound,
When you stand back and take a look at what Jürgen is building it really does make you smile, whilst City, Chavs, & Newcastle continue buying their way up the success ladder, Jürgen is building a empire, we will never compete financially with any of those, even if we do have further investment to delve into, because Jürgen builds, not buy’s, even if he had the collateral of a City, he’d still build, not buy, of course targets he would want would be easier to attain that’s the only difference, it’s easy being a cheque book manager you simply set your sights on a target, then wave your cheque book and say, how much you want for……?? Job done, hence the ‘Silly tw*ts’ at City,
Ask yourself why is it taking so long for the young lads at City to flourish, they have had their academy running longer than the AxA but yet only Foden and that impressive Palmer lad have come thru it, as far as I can tell, yet look at how our young lads are progressing, Trent, Elliot, Morton, Van de Berg, Bacjetic, Gordon, Clarke, Phillips, Williams (Rhys & Neco), Millar, Doak etc etc, all given the opportunity to shine under Jürgen and working with Inglethorpe and his world class academy,
I’m wandering way off topic, I know, but getting back to Jude Bellingham, he knows what’s best for Jude Bellingham and we can’t guarantee he’ll come to us, but his options are limited aren’t they, he won’t be heading to Newcastle, nah, that wouldn’t work, City, can’t rule them out, but Jude will want as many minutes on the pitch as possible, not guaranteed @ the emptihad, Madrid, can’t see it, he’ll want to play in the best league with the best players, Barcelona, same answer, …ANFIELD….ticks all the boxes for him, and ticks all the boxes for us….
Go get him Jürgen, you know it makes sense !!
Hope over Fear !! 🏴
