Niiice, this is a bloody exciting signing! Even if we left him in the Champ for another year and half.
The type we’re linked to for 5 transfer windows without actually ever putting in a formal bid and signs for Arsenal.What type of player is he?
Would be a amazing signing as far as I'm concerned.Niiice, this is a bloody exciting signing! Even if we left him in the Champ for another year and half.
Why's that?Seem alot of his games this season. He's a sure thing. Would already be an improvement on what Andreas offers in midfield or Lingard offers in the #10
Doubt we've really made an offer though.

Only one person reporting it. I'll wait for more sources. Bruno deal looks close to finished, so Castles is laying the ground work for another story to keep people clicking until Jan 31st. He's got to keep busy around this time of year.Why's that?
I reckon it would take more than that.Just do a 35 mil same type offer for kalvin Phillips then I can sleep for a while
I agree.Only one person reporting it. I'll wait for more sources. Bruno deal looks close to finished, so Castles is laying the ground work for another story to keep people clicking until Jan 31st. He's got to keep busy around this time of year.

Not many clubs on a British rebuild at the moment except us and Chelsea on the top level, possibly Leicester. Anybody else probably won't spend money like that on a 16 year old.If he is so good hows it there are no other clubs after him?
Yes, what’s your point?so we are ready to pay 25 m for a 16yr old but haggling over 10 millon for a finished product.
Because they're in the shit with the EFL after being docked 9 pts last year for the same thing. They have to balance the books or face a even more severe punishment this season which could relegate them.Why would they sell him now? 25m is a lot for a 16 year old, but could be worth double that in 2 years.
As we should be.so we are ready to pay 25 m for a 16yr old but haggling over 10 millon for a finished product.
All the top clubs are after him domestically and Ajax, Bayern and Dortmund have also enquired about him. His family have shunned all offers thus far.If he is so good hows it there are no other clubs after him?
The Telegraph first reported our interest afew weeks ago. The Mirror then followed that up last week with their Championship correspondent Moxley, who is reliable when it comes to the lower leagues. And now we have Castles reporting a £25m offer.Only one person reporting it. I'll wait for more sources. Bruno deal looks close to finished, so Castles is laying the ground work for another story to keep people clicking until Jan 31st. He's got to keep busy around this time of year.

Ah I didn't realise they had financial issues. Could be a good time to poach then.Because they're in the shit with the EFL after being docked 9 pts last year for the same thing. They have to balance the books or face a even more severe punishment this season which could relegate them.
Bellingham sung to the tune of Millennium by Robbie Williams?At least finding a song for him will be relatively easy.
Wonder why it’s all of a sudden doubled to £25M according to Castles?Just to add to my previous post. Neil Moxley who works for the Sunday People and reported our £12m offer last week, is a Journalist from Birmingham and is considered a very good source for the club.
Possibly a rival offer?Wonder why it’s all of a sudden doubled to £25M according to Castles?
The £12m offer might have been an offer to get them to enter negotiations and get a feel for what they value him at.Wonder why it’s all of a sudden doubled to £25M according to Castles?
Look at the first page and when his contract runs out..Why would they sell him now? 25m is a lot for a 16 year old, but could be worth double that in 2 years.
if you can't see the point then I can't help youYes, what’s your point?
It was reported that Nicky Butt's budget for the academy had been increased considerably by the club to acquire the best young talent in the world. We signed Mejbri and Emeran but missed out on Rayan Cherki for a huge fee if reports are to be believed. The money for this deal will likely come from the academy budget and won't affect our budget for the first team.if you can't see the point then I can't help you
I was trying to commit you into expanding on it so that you may see the flaw of it tbh. I understand your point. One player is 16, so he should be going for a nominal fee, while a more established player should cost more, or we at least should be happy to spend more on the more senior player. It makes sense up until the point where it places no relevance on the respective abilities or potential of each player. Many teams would pay more money for a 16 year old Messi or Mbappe than a finished article Jesse Lingard. Bellingham is, by all accounts, a unique talent and possibly the best in the world of his age. Fernandes is a 25 year old journeyman doing very well in the Portuguese league at the moment.if you can't see the point then I can't help you
Sing that, and I will find you and I will kill you!Bellingham sung to the tune of Millennium by Robbie Williams?
Probably would be the cringiest chant we've ever had and that's saying something.Sing that, and I will find you and I will kill you!
