He's up for sale apparently. Genuinely probably worth a punt. Would be hilarious however it turned out especially if we got him for less than they sold.

VillaJ100 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think it's a little funny how super kid Bellingham is apparently transfer listed already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a certain satisfaction that the guy who saved the existence of their club, to such an extent that they retired his shirt, that we could sign him for some loose change as a "maybe" kind of player.

If we buy him for less than they paid they will probably get nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 They'd bring his shirt out of retirement if we signed him. Got to be worth it just for shits and giggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think he’s still too much of an unknown for us to risk blowing big money on. I’d leave it another 12 months and then see how he’s getting on. He didn’t exactly tear it up in the Championship. FOR A 16 YEAR OLD, yes, he’s very good but it really doesn’t matter how old you are once the game kicks off. Unless he’s showing he can keep progressing then I’d leave it. Rooney, Milner and Owen came into the Premier League at a similar age and looked good enough quite quickly. No point having a player earning big bucks who is great for his age, but not good enough for what we’d want. He wouldn’t come for a u21 fringe player salary now.

Popular Post LondonLax Posted February 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2021 There is probably an element of homesickness for him. He's just a kid and he's moved countries in the middle of a pandemic. Everything is shut down and everyone is miserable. It would be tough going, even for a footballer. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Re Bellingham just look at Josh Mceachran the once wonder boy of Chelsea. He was released by Blues in January and he has failed to deliver his early promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 He's played plenty of minutes for Dortmund. One of the best run clubs in Europe. He's 17 years old and by all accounts when he has featured he has been excellent. He's 17. What is happening here? This is the kind of talk Blues fans mock us for. We have half a good season and we think we can sign Isco. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 He's more than good enough for us, this is a player that Dortmund paid big money for, and put him straight into their first team squad and have given him plenty of game time in the league and the champions league, he's highly rated not just because of his potential but also because of how good he is in the here and now, his stats might have not looked great last season in the championship, but watching him play it was obvious what a good player he is, and no surprise that the big clubs came in for him, not just to sign in case he comes good, but to put straight into their team. But from what I can gather he's only rumored to be available because Dortmund have money troubles, nothing to do with him not being good enough, he'll likely end up at another champions league club.
