Any chance for Arsenal?
If you were Bellingham, which club would you join? ๐
The audio editing and use of adequate microphones throughout the world cup coverage by the Athletic has been a complete joke. You keep making yourself look worse than kids starting out on youtube.
Also Klopp probably still has connections within the Borrussia Dortmund leadership.
I see him going to Madrid personally and then returning to England in his mid-20s
If he was being tracked how did he end up at BD
real or psg
Why have microphones when you canโt even hear what youโre saying?
liverpool are going to get him
Liverpool, Klopp will promise him he'll build the MF around him and he'll become as important to rebuilding as Virgil and Alisson was. He'll then go to RM when he is in his mid-late 20s.
For Liverpool it's not the owners' money that's spent. The club spend the money they generate. So a potential takeover won't change the way the owners approach transfers
Telling us absolutely nothing we didn't already know
Christian Falk has stated CL is not an issue since Premier League will have 5 champions league places in the near future.
So basically Jude can still remain at Dortmund, go to Liverpool, Madrid, City and Chelsea. Thank you for this information, Iโve learnt something new!
Liverpool bound most likely…… the Bellinghams prefer Liverpool and are Liverpool fans…. Judes a Gerrard fan anyway, and even if youre not a LFC fan, hes now got German connections and who can say no to Klopp hugs…. its more or less done…. and Klopps got even more power and say…..
if it doesnt transpire, something somewhere in LFC has messed up, LFC have dragged this out for 3 or so years otherwise
LFC will have missed out on Tchouameni and Bellingham and Nunes by dilly dallying….. and Jude is main target why? because LFC have been scrimping and Sving the last few seasons and Jude was the reason
Honestly, Enzo is around a 100 million especially based on his CL performances & now World Cup performances. With Jude around 150, that's 250 million. Liverpool need a lot of reinforcements, especially with Diaz injured too & Salah is getting older too.
Yusuf, Amrabat & few others are solid players that are stable & could provide energy to Liverpool's dead midfield.
People have a tendency to think a young player will improve a huge amount, but that isn't always the case, particularly not when one of the main reasons the young player stands out is because of his physique – which is certainly the case with Bellingham.
I'd rather City go for the David Silva/Gundogan/Modric type midfielder. Touch is everything for a possession based midfield, and Bellingham's touch isn't great. He'd be better suited to the huff n puff LFC style
This is reporting? Everything in this is speculation.
Don't waste your time with this guys…
He his going Liverpool mate 100 per cent
Liverpool will get him
Liverpool have 200 million to spend on the midfield from jan shuzzz
His dad life long Liverpool fan his dad wants him go Liverpool.
Jude grow up idols was seven greard he wants the Liverpool number 8 shirt
They will off set the players that they bye into the sale in the club .so they will not cost Liverpool anything because they will gey all the money back when the sale gose thru
No one asked what you would do guy in the middle
Newcastle if they get Champions League. Eddie Howe has shown he can bring out the beast in a player. Imagine what he can do with Bellingham. Although if Liverpool qualify for the Champions League, Klopp has that ability too. And Liverpool have the prestige that Newcastle don't.
Jurgen Klopp signed a new deal recentlyโฆ donโt you think he stayed with assurances from the owners? Itโs strange that with a massive increase in revenues (ยฃ550m + for 2022 Maybe) that weโll have the money to compete with others. Obvs not ยฃ850k a week that Haaland commands but enough to get deals done YNWA
Lille should sign him. would help their team
We're two midfield players away from being contenders again
Ornstein ๐
Sancho on his day and with Dortmund was sensational but the thing that separates him and the likes of Haaland and Bellingham is that , these 2 are men and Sancho is a boy.
Hey I have a great idea letโs shoot this next to a building site ๐๐
