Liverpool fans what are your honest feelings about the likelihood y’all land Bellingham?

I think y’all will get him, and I’m going to blame Jordan Henderson. I think Liverpool will try to seal the deal with BVB sooner than later too while the World Cup honeymoon feels are there.
 
It's tough cause it has to be somebody with experience, good enough, be ok sharing the role to be replace Benzema.
 
It's been looking like all the smoke is trending that direction, as well as their players deploying the full court press at England camp, but do Liverpool have the money to drop around 150m on 1 player?

By all accounts it sounds like BVB expect a record fee for him, more than Dembele (140m), for Bellingham

He minus whale start practicing singing "You'll never walk alone" with Hendo and TAA at England's camp :nthat:

Hope they've all been getting on late night Skype calls with Klopp to build the rapport early (also so they are sleep deprived and England gets knocked out of the WC)

They dropped 100 on someone as raw as Darwin. Bellingham is the real deal,English and still very young. They also missed out on Tchouameni so I think they’re not going to let Bellingham slip away too.

Also RM seems to have tweaked their transfer policy to not engage in bidding wars and to focus more on players who only want to play for them to have a better position when negotiating the fee. Bellingham seems more than happy to go to Liverpool. He can also have a bigger role and captain the club one day. In RM he’d be more one of the guys.
 
Pool just paid 100 for Darwin.

They’ll pay 150 for Jude. An English bloke at 19? Absolutely

The Liverpool package will also look better with Jude as it pertains to prospective buyers. These guys are selling, remember?

It’s RM who will definitely NOT pay €150 million. No way, not a chance.

They did after losing Mané but Bellingham's gonna go for a record fee by all accounts and the fees being floated sound like something mainly the likes of P$G/Citeh could afford.

It's why you guys are starting to distance yourselves.

Outside of financial hang ups, everything's pointing towards the Scousers though. Apparently even his fam prefer that move

Not upset, just said everything's pointing your guys way :lol

Still not sure BVB would be able to get what they're asking for from a non-City/P$G club. Even Real can't afford it.

Would love to hear Klopp's answers though if it happens after years of bemoaning the state of transfers and clubs spending insane money on players.
 
No rolaholic rolaholic he’s not going to your second favorite team Real Madrid.

He’s going to Liverpool.

You’re just going to have to deal with it.
You don't need to interject yourself into every single thing I post my guy, it's type weird...

You're already United obsessed as it is, no need to add to it.

Literally said Real are distancing themselves and he's trending that way, I don't need my biggest fan acting like a ******* parrot for me :lol:

Let it breathe a little
 
I’d say Real can afford it for this specific deal. In the long term however it’s not a sustainable model for them as a non-oil/sugar daddy club to recruit top talents via bidding wars. The model of make it clear to your club you only want Madrid and we’ll negotiate from there however is one they can sustain.

Na man we spoke about this before. Don’t act like I’m coming out of nowhere.

I told you RM can’t pay for him, it’s impossible. But you kept on persisting and holding out hope they could.

So I needed to interject again.

Ah yes, the model of “legacy” and “heritage”.

Why do you think we can't pay for him tho, we still haven't spent any money, we're not going to publicly announce we're paying the 150.

Mbappe..

Haaland…

That’s why.

You guys can afford it, you’re right. Flo Just won’t spend that type of money on Jude. Which is a good thing IMO.

RM shouldn’t be out here paying heavy money on an English tax. They’re not English :lol
