Are we spending 150m on Bellingham?

[got red on me]

Has someone told Hagrid a muggle’s been stealing his suits!!

maybe he's been round Kostas' house?

 

[Donavan Ried]

I believe if we are willing to spend the money (Please FSG, sell Liverpool before the January window opens) That LFC is in the prime position to sign Bellingham, given the rumour that they(Dortmund) want to sign Tyler Morton from us...

Presumably only for us to try to buy him back for significantly more than we sold him

 

[tombrown]

Not sure this is really a "boost":

Liverpool have received a boost in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham with reports that rivals Real Madrid have an upper price limit for the 19-year-old England international. (Liverpool Echo via Sport)

If Dortmund are interested in Morton, why don't we just keep him? It'll save us all this anguish and money in four years time.

Real Madrid nay have just realised he’s only worth £40 million max. Leave the idiots who believe in hyping up English players— how is the Jadon Sancho express going by the way?— to duke it out among themselves.

Yeah - but you actually need a decent manager that knows how to use the player - seems that none of Utd’s previous managers had much a of a clue and Ten Hags has plenty of other issues to solve.

We don't do keeping our academy talent. We sell them on, Neco Williams, Harry Wilson, Ben Woodburn, Taiwo Awoniyi etc ;and buy other teams young talent
Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho

Probably. It could also be that he’s not as good as the high fee implies. Or it a combination of the two in various proportions.

Bellingham is good but not likely that “high fee” good.

Bullshit

We'll always let more academy players leave than we will keep, for obvious reasons, but Trent, Curtis & Kelleher are three current first team squad members who came via the academy

There are always exception to the rule. But overall, or more often it's what we do

 

[SummerOnions]

There are always exception to the rule. But overall, or more often it's what we do

3 exceptions is hardly an exception it's a trend

 

[Donavan Ried]

3 exceptions is hardly an exception it's a trend

How many have made it to the promise land (Playing for Liverpool regularly before being moved on in the past , lets say three or four seasons...?
So yes it is an exception to have our academy players making the Liverpool squad for a season or more, unless you count those who play in Carabao or FA cup Games.

And yes when you count how many do not make it vs those who do it is the definition of the word exception

 

[tombrown]

You're a little bit thick aren't you? As I said, we will always let more academy players go than we keep. If you can't see why that is the case then God help you ...

 

[Donavan Ried]

You're a little bit thick aren't you? As I said, we will always let more academy players go than we keep. If you can't see why that is the case then God help you ...

Yes that is the case with most team, but you are trying to make out that it is not that way because of Trent, Jones and Kelleher out of how many...? Those player are what I said "Exception" not the Norm...

 

[StevieM]

You're a little bit thick aren't you? As I said, we will always let more academy players go than we keep. If you can't see why that is the case then God help you ...

Good luck. Your going to need it.

 

[Mamma Mia]

You're

 

[tombrown]

Good luck. Your going to need it.

Yeah. I'll give up trying to teach a pig to sing.

I'll also ignore your deliberate mistake on this occasion.

 

[StevieM]

Eye swear too god, autocorrect changed it on me!!!

 

[StevieM]

Good luck. You’re going too need it.

Fixed for @Mamma Mia

 

[Modo]

 

[Hyena]

Probably get some flack for this.

But the way he spread out his arms after scoring instead of turning to his mates, waiting for the crowd to acknowledge his individual greatness as England's saviour. Yes that was very Stevie G.

 

[Judge Jules]

Not from me you won't. You've got a point IMO. That kind of thing was one reason why I never rated Stevie particularly highly as a skipper.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Yeah, no argument from me either. If he comes here and he leads us to titles, he'll be entitled to be as full of himself as Stevie. If he goes elsewhere, he's an egotistical, overrated wanker. I don't make the rules, just how it is.

 

[bluebell]

So who are the alternatives to Bellingham?
Danilo
Ramsey
Rice
Enzo Fernandes
Nunes
Moises
Ndidi

 

[mom]

We ain’t getting Jude. Certainly not before we get new owners.

 

[StevieM]

I fixed your list of alternatives we could sign for next season instead of Bellingham @bluebell :

Kieta
Arthur Melo
Milner
Oxlade-Chamberlain
No one

Signing no one would be better than resigning any of these players at least you save yourself £25m year.
Besides we always sign some malnourished youngsters from the British Isle no one's ever heard of not even YouTube.

What's people view on Tyler Adams? The couple of times I have seen him, I really liked him
