This is why football is a joke. Sooner somebody gets the superleague idea back up and running the better. Let's get rid of these money rich clubs and get back to a fair play system ..If there is one.🤔

No need to worry, all of this money will inevitably cause a financial vacuum and we will all be able to enjoy watching each of these 'super rich' clubs implode.

After last Sundays Vinicius incident I’m surprised any player of colour would want to go to that country until they solve the problem.

If that figure is correct, it is a steal. (Using the benchmark of Pogba at £90m and Neymar at £200m +)

It is a joke, but this was said 20 years ago. Not going to happen.

£5m a year might soften the blow…

Now, if he’d refuse the move and reveal the reason to be Spains recent issues with race and the lack of any significant steps to deal with it, now that really WOULD be something…

Anyway, fantastic talent, absolutely top class footballer.

I’m sure I read that all but two of those tweets came from accounts in Asia, not that it makes it right.

I think he’s world class, great move for him

Still fair play to you, I know nothing at all about american football so would never be brave enough to join a forum a repeatedly post things displaying this lack of knowledge, you don't let that stop you with football so fair play

He could, probably, get the same money from Utd/City/Chelsea.

No one who understands what it takes to be a modern centre midfielder can call him "average"

Come on, it's just a bit of hyperbole by Woodley, even he realises that Bellingham's a cut above... but he's not Robbie Blake (yet)

So in spite of Vinnie signing a new 5 year contract it looks like he's chosen the money, glamour and prestige over the honour and privilege of doning the famous claret and blue.

Well each to his own. I just hope he doesn't live to regret it.

We move on to the next target. Declan Rice anyone?

You have to remember that Bellingham is 19 and is already asserting himself as a dominant player in centre midfield, which is arguably the hardest position on the park.

His tenacity, dribbling/ ball carrying skills are very, very good

Is he still a little raw? Yeah but he’s going to learn off Ancelotti and will be playing/learning off Valverde, Kroos /Modric (depending on if they stay) - which is only good news not only for Jude but for England

For Englands sake I just hope he plays every week, not guaranteed at a club like that. Although watching Madrid v City, I don't think there is too much risk even if he has tough spell.

£115 million, confirmed by Real today, on a 6yr deal

Their second most expensive signing behind Hazard

How is he still only 19 - it feels like he's been around for ages already?! What a talent this boy is. We should be building the England team around him - he's that good! I can't understand anyone saying he's average... that's just baffling. Had we pulled off his signature I would have happily said we'd finally replaced John Deary :D

Digging up old posts is always fun. Lots of egg on faces about Bellingham. Quite a few good ones in your own locker too, particularly around Easter last year.

Hardest( most difficult) position on the pitch is goalkeeper. No other outfield player can do that job.
