I don't trust any player out of serie A. I also don't want another player fucking off in January 2024 for a month. I don't see how anyone can be convinced he's better than what we have. Spunking 30ml on him and another 20ml in wages is pointless imo. Its still alot of money that's better going towards a better player

I can be convinced because I've watched him play, and I've watched our midfielders play. 

 

We could pretend we're going to get Bellingham and Rice instead I suppose. 

 

The Serie A thing is a bit silly.

No way are we ever signing a flavour of the month had a good game at the World Cup type of player ever again under this recruitment team. If we did it’d be because we’d been watching him for about 4 seasons and he has a release clause that’s about to be activated by another team.

If he's not on the list he's not getting in

I'd agree that not too many serie A players have lit up the Premiership, but how many high profile serie A players have actually made the switch? It's not many

 

I'd even go as far as saying that both Barella and canhanoglu of inter, are better than all of our current midfielders, besides thiago.. 

 

But I've watched a few porto and benfica games on my dodgy box of late. And I can see the attraction with bringing in players from the Portuguese league. The games are very physical, and equally as fast as the Premier league

And here's me thinking we just sign anyone that has a good game against us

Hang the fuck about. Is he using “boni” as a fucking plural of “bonus?”

Read a report that Jota knee injury is quite bad. Sounds like we might need could do with another attacker. He is a bit of a sick note that gets overlooked.

Yup. He's the Portuguese Ferguson. In for a week and out for a month

He was out due to a calf muscle tear, and now he's fucked his knee up?

Nothing has changed with Jota.

 

It was being reported 3 weeks ago he was out until Feb - same timeline given in the reports that are doing the rounds today.

 

Here is report from 3 weeks ago:

Looking at that celebration after Henderson's goal last night, I think it's safe for us to move from the planning phase to the implementation phase of our Jude Bellingham tattoos. 

[devilsadvocate]

Only way we’re signing Bellingham is if he says he won’t go anywhere else similar to VVD. We can’t/won’t compete with City or Real when it comes to the fee or the wages.

 

The fact we haven’t ruled ourselves out makes me think something may have been agreed. We’re gonna look a bit silly If we end up being outbid after putting all out eggs on his basket from last summer. 

[El Dangerous]

The player looks like he’s trying to get adopted by our captain, the club said they’d prefer to sell to us, every itk cunt says we’re after him and only him, Jude Bellingham, welcome to Real Madrid.

That’s what I thought as well, Well said.

This lad, if he's willing to sign, is far too good to miss out on. Genuinely a generational-level talent. 

 

Spent the entire budget on his transfer fee and grab a couple of Bosman's such as Rabiot & Laimer to pad out the central midfield area.

There’s plenty of decent free transfers coming up that offer more than Ox, Keita and Jones. We’ll do fuck all though.

[Leyton388]

Our owners wont buy him. He'll end up at Madrid or City.

Nah, that’s a win for FSG - we couldn’t compete given Bellingham’s insane cost, but are instead showing ourselves as savvy businessmen by moving on to monitor / wait for another exciting talent for a couple of years until their value also ends up exceeding our budget.

[El Rojo]

Offer Dortmund a flat fee and then a load of boni add-ons.

[TheHowieLama]

We cannot afford to invest 100 m+ on one player. That is all.

That's why it's an investment. 

 

We can sell him in 5 years for 200m.
