Liverpool have got themselves a cracking player.
Jude Bellingham | Borussia Dortmund player...

I’d love Osihmen but I don’t think he’s “worth” 100M but that’s going to be the case with any decent striker. They are so rare and the most over valued position going forward.
There’s going to be some serious protests and backlash against FSG when Bellingham doesn’t end up there next summer.
Sadly, the Nunez failure is going to cost Liverpool in more ways than one.
We will be in for him no doubt about it. I think he ends up at City though.
We need to go all out for Osimhen next summer even though sadly he's not in Haaland's league
Bellingham is a luxury signing especially we desperately need to strengthen in a few positions
He's not as good a goalscorer as Haaland (only Lewa and Benzema are) but he's definitely more rounded in certain aspects of his play. Drogba was consistently outscored by other top strikers but he offered so much more besides that it didn't really matter. The big question is if Osimhen can actually take that next step to get to Drogba's level, but the raw materials are there.
I was under the impression that Osimhen was much closer to the likes of Lukaku and Nuñez than Drogba in that he has the capacity to score alot of goals but at the same time being poor technically?
If we finally get the Glazers out this season, we could easily be doing a huge transfer window next summer where we spend hundreds of millions. If Pep sticks around, I think Bellingham will probably end up at City - but that's all up in the air at the moment. I don't think he'll go to Liverpool due to transfer cost and salary after all the money they've committed to Salah. He'd be a great signing for us obviously if we have the budget to strengthen other weak areas too. It's all about getting rid of our current owners though to make such a deal work.
The contracts if Modric and Kroos expire at the end of this year. Madrid media are confident that he and his agent prefer a move to Real over a move back to England.
Makes sense. The move tends to be England then Spain but it seems about right. Shame we aren’t in the place to lure him
Yeah could do a Laurie Cunningham by playing for Midlands club and end up at Real Madrid
I was thinking pulling a Cristiano Ronaldo, or a david beckham
Going to end up at city with his pal haaland.
Pep already flirting with him.

Hope he does, would much prefer to see him in a Real shirt than in a Liverpool shirt.
That's what I think as well. City could easily make space with Gundagon and Silva possibly leaving. Work with Pep, play again with Haaland, earn big money, it's the most logical move.
We're definitely buying a main striker next summer and they don't come cheap, especially for us. Even merely good ones will be upwards of £70-80m. Better ones will be £100m.
You'll also note that while we didn't buy FDJ, we did drop almost as much on Casemiro so it's not like there's a free £75m just sitting around.
Only a change of ownership will mean we spend near £200m on only 2 players next summer. Especially when we will need other players too most likely. This summer was not normal for us in terms of spend and we're not doing it back to back under the Glazers.
He's also probably slow or fast, weak or strong, short or tall - all depending on who you ask here.
He's guaranteed to be another one swept up into that soulless pit at City
Rather that than Liverpool. Leagues already broken beyond repair.
United is probably going to sign Kroos then.
Which top class striker are we signing for 100m? Name one.
And yet "it's more competitive than ever"
I don't know. But let me ask you - which striker do you think we'll be interested in that will cost significantly less?
Remember, we hadn't even heard of Nunes this time last season, and he gets sold for £84m 9 months later after one good season.
Everybody will know United need a top striker and prices will be set accordingly. Even Toney would probably cost us over £70m. Osimhen could be £100m. Kane wouldn't be much less than £100m. Kudus the same.
My original point stands -whether it's £80m or £100m, we're not buying an expensive striker AND Bellingham next summer. Unless the ownership changes.
No one expected us to spend anywhere near £220m this summer when it was reported we might only have £50m net to spend this summer. £180-200m is not beyond normal at Utd.
This guy is going to be the best CM in the world in a few years.
He isn't going to any club unless they're winning trophies every year.
Basically City or Liverpool

I think Chelsea will go all out for him. Liverpool wont have the financials to do it. Madrid is a strong possibility too but I wonder if they will prefer a more established creative midfielder.

Liverpool only get him if the big spenders don’t want him, which they will.
Luxury? Our midfield turn the shit the moment Eriksen isn’t involved
Once again a fine example of someone using the term luxury signing without having a clue what it means.
Will he be a starter for England in the wc?
Rice will end up at Chelsea.
Rice and Belly.
Only team that could prove a threat to Liverpool is Madrid who are well stocked there with Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde. I think he chooses Liverpool over City/Utd/Chelsea provided they have CL football
It seems like clubs are just sitting by and letting Liverpool zero in on him.
Did he have a good match yesterday or something?
He's not a good fit for City.
He's the perfect fit for Liverpool though, he's a replacement and upgrade to what Wijnaldum did for them.
He's also not a good fit for us, because I don't think he resolved our issue of getting the ball from our CBs and reliably moving it to our attackers. We need a Modric lite/regen.
If Bruno Fernandes doesn't have a future here, I can kind of see him fitting in. But that would be perplexing strategically when we've got other things to solve first.

It literally is! It's never happened before this summer. To think it'll happen 2 summers running under the Glazers, especially when there's evidence that cash reserves are running dry, is just wishful thinking. I do hope I'm wrong by the way.
From what I've seen, Oshimen gets involved in the build up far more than 99% of strikers let alone tap in merchants like Lukaku and Nunez. His hold up play is better than everyone bar Lewandowski. He is closer to Ivan Toney than Nunez stylistically.
