Sorry I just see it a different way..
Let's say that we have 250m and to sign Jude it takes 160m including fees, It would still leave us with 90m plus any summer sales of players to add to that.
And there is(as you pointed out) so very good deals to be had out there that we should beable to get along side Jude
I just believe that Jude is a player of such high quaility that we should make it a top priority to sign him. People say we need to sign midfielders, but they seem to forget that Bellingham that a midfielder, and to allow City nor real to sign him would be handing the keys to the Premier League/Champions League to Real and city for the next five to ten years.
We need that quaility of player to contented on a regular basis
And for those banging on about Trent and Midfield. Lets just see what he is like over then next five games against team where he will have to work harder against.No to long ago we beat Utd 7-0 and look what we done after that.
It was a very suspect Leeds that we beat 5-1 so i am not getting carried away
