100 Million plus add ons all agreed to Real Madrid, good move for him and England

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.

Posted: **Thu May 25, 2023 11:37 pm**

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.

What problem? A few pricks out of 50-60,000? Why would any player ‘of colour’ want to come to England after a few dickheads abused saka after the 2020 euros?

Posted: **Thu May 25, 2023 11:56 pm**

It’ll be a long time before it’s solved in Spain unfortunately

Getting a superleague up and running would only make things worse.

Good luck to Bellingham a player of very average ability talked up by pundits and his agent.Nice work if you can get it.

£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.

No, he’s actually serious. Didn’t he say recently he’d rather have Josh Brownhill than Jude Bellingham?

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

Posted: **Fri May 26, 2023 8:02 am**

Why would any non white player want to play in Spain ?
They have some of the most racist fans in Europe and a gutless football authority who won't act to stamp out abuse.

Posted: **Fri May 26, 2023 8:04 am**

Just on a personal note.I said Bellingham is average and I wish him well in his career.I don't subscribe to the hype some fans get sucked into.

this is why your posts never fail to amuse.

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"

Posted: **Fri May 26, 2023 9:23 am**

Not sure about him myself also , seem the type from the media is way too much .

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)

Enough of a problem for a respected professional like Xavi to comment on ?

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?

Posted: **Fri May 26, 2023 12:17 pm**

I see rice more in the Cullen role, so declan would have to bide his time on the bench…

Posted: **Fri May 26, 2023 4:24 pm**

You must have incredibly high standards if you really think Bellingham looks "average".

Posted: **Fri May 26, 2023 4:53 pm**

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, it's possible he just doesn't understand averages.

Posted: **Fri May 26, 2023 4:57 pm**

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

Posted: **Fri May 26, 2023 5:45 pm**

I'm sorry but for all of Alan Pace's talk of backing Kompany in the transfer window, why were we not even in the picture for signing this lad. Real lack of ambition.

Posted: **Sat May 27, 2023 12:05 pm**

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.

It was more than a few pricks at the mestalla last week more like a few thousand

Woodleyclaret has this lad sussed.

And it looks as if we’ve missed out on his brother Jobe too. He’s in advanced talks with Sunderland.

Wasn't he reputed to be better than Jude?

Posted: **Mon May 29, 2023 4:43 pm**

Southgate wanted another tournament because of this kid, Bellingham will win us the next one (obviously with a bit of help from the others).

It's less likely he'd be going to Sunderland if he were better than Jude.

Someone calling Jude Bellingham 'average' is peak uptheclarets.

Posted: **Wed Jun 14, 2023 11:49 am**

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

Their second most expensive signing behind Hazard

Posted: **Wed Jun 14, 2023 12:03 pm**

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

It'll be interesting to track this lad's career on the messageboard in one super thread. Could we merge these threads below with this one

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.

Sixth Englishman to play for Real Madrid. Can we name them? Quite easy.

Posted: **Wed Jun 14, 2023 3:32 pm**

Off the top of my head can think of Owen, McManaman and Woodgate

Posted: **Wed Jun 14, 2023 3:38 pm**

Laurie Cunningham and David Beckham. Can't think of a sixth Englishman.
