If they are planning on more kids then this is a wise investment.
Are we spending 150m on Bellingham?

The Tielemans situation is weird. But I saw yesterday that Leicester have been trying to get him to sign a new deal with several offers being made. They are extremely impressed by his professionalism even though he just has 6 months left.
Appaz he is on very high wages and most clubs outside the PL will struggle to match those demands and current wages. I guess that explains the lack of interest from certain clubs.
Yes, you make a good case. We then have the piece to build the midfield around, and I also think that no. 8 is the hardest part to find, thus also the most expensive.
It’s very logical and a rule applied in Germany, Spain and Italy too.
It’s to prevent domestic conflict of interest whereby a player could end up influencing a game between his current employer and his soon to be new one. We can start negotiations in June in the last month of his contract not after it expires.
Makes sense then, but it would then also need to apply between an English and a foreign club who are in the same European competition.
The lack of Origi in our lives does that to most.
And if we buy Bellingham and can't restore the squad sufficiently, such that he wants to leave after 3 years to Real et al, he'll be the Coutinho type sale to fund the next phase of the rebuild. He'll either succeed for us as a player or as a revenue source.
I agree that spreading his fee over multiple players is a false economy.
In general, I agree with your statement. But we need Bellingham and at least one more top-class midfield signing. If we spend 150 million on Bellingham, that means we will have to pull off a Robbo-style clever midfield signing.
No argument from me there. Given the price of top class players, FSG's financial model means we're bound to be in that position now and again.
Letting his contract run down isn't the unprofessional bit. That consists of giving less than your best out there on the field, and some of Tielemans' recent displays have justified that charge. I agree that he's quality, but you can't have a player pleasing himself whether or not to bother turning up on the day.
Are we saying that about our players too? There may well be other reasons for his poor games - Leicester have hardly been on fire.
I don't know... there were a lot of reasons to be cautious prior to Leicester bombing, he could be incredibly lax at times. He never really stuck me as a player who would fit our pressing game, regardless of the stats, I've watched him play and he can be incredibly lazy off the ball.
Julian's secretary. Thought everyone knew that
Only those ITK, taps nose.
We all love Stevie G, but one thing we shouldn't be doing with Bellingham is selling him on the idea of being the "new Steven Gerrard".
Basically being a captain who carries a team on his back for years and barely wins anything big (1 CL, a couple FA cups) for all his struggles.

I'd take a CL win now.
Especially because it's the most likely way to get back into the Champs League.
Plus 3 league cups, a uefa Cup and a super cup.
We just have to accept these owners are no longer for us, LFC have outgrown them.
