I mean he's worth what people are willing to pay at the end of the day. If Enzo Fernandez can got for 120m then Bellingham for 150m isn't that unreasonable for me. I'm not sure I'd like to see us spend it with our budget limitations after last summer though, as I'd much rather have a world class striker and make do with current midfield options or bring in someone for less.

I'm not usually fussed on how much United pay for players

But I do think they can easily get a top class midfielder for a fraction of that fee

Bellingham will be a good player, but I think 150 million is daft. United have had feck all success buying from Dortmund, and I reckon there are always good players elsewhere that someone like Ten Hag can make work.

Even if we had unlimited funds, I wouldn’t pay that

Enzo Fernandez was not worth anywhere near €120m either.

If we had unlimited funds it wouldn't matter what we paid, so you're just saying you don't like Bellingham as a player?

Probably not no, but what players are worth isn't what the market is based on in reality. Bellingham is only 19 though so could easily be one of the top midfielders in the world for the next 15 years. I'd take that even for 150m.

There's midfielders out there that would cost 2 to 3 times less and will deliver just as much impact if not more in the squad. That's who we should be trying to find. Its the job of the scouting department to find them. Plus Manchester United have many holes to fill in the squad elsewhere to be squandering €150m on a tweener. The last tweener we spunked that much money on was a flop.

If you read my earlier post I'm not saying I'd sign him if I was us either, I'd much rather sign a top striker. My post was he's worth whatever clubs are willing to spend and if Enzo goes for 120m then Bellingham should fetch 150m. I agree there are other cheaper options who can more than deliver, but they also likely have half a decade plus on Bellingham in terms of age and aren't English which both bring premiums to the price.

150 mill for Bellingham?!! I'd much rather us spend half of that on FDJ and use the rest for a CB and a GK.

I’m saying just because you have the money doesn’t mean you should agree to pay for extortionate prices. Everyone should have a responsibility to try and stop prices from getting even crazier. I saw haalands agent saying he’s worth a billion quid ffs

Bellingham is an interesting one. I rate him quite highly but I would not be to disappointed if we missed out on him due to the huge fee. However I wouldn't want Liverpool to get him.

When we were in for Sancho the price was quoted significantly higher than it ended up being. I’m sure Dortmund are putting it out there they want €150m it doesn’t mean they get it.

Would steer clear from Bellingham at 150m. A huge expectation would arise. If he doesn't hit the ground running by 10 or so games he'll likely be branded a flop this day and age. No time to settle in at united unfortunately. I also don't see him as potentially one of the best midfielders around. At 150m I would be expecting a potential Zidane, Gerrard, or Scholes (box to box player).History has shown we overrate English players highly. Prime example is Rice.

From here to there
This Liverpool link is bizarre really. It won't go away though so there's every possibility there's some truth to it and maybe he has a thing for that particular club.

Meh, this is not really true, or at least not necessarily.

For those wondering where this is from, this is from Romano's latest YouTube video (2:39 to

United are still following Jeremie Frimpong according to Romano.
Sounds right. Osimhen first choice but a question of money/ownership. Ramos the likeliest choice. Frimpong replacing Wan-Bissaka, who Ten Hag has gone from thinking is unplayable to thinkin is a solid #2 but not ideal for Antony to thrive, who he sees as a key player and one of the core starters along with Rashford (LW or #9), Bruno (too productive and hard-working not to be), Casemiro, Shaw, Lisandro and Varane.

Would take a Ramos/Kolo-Muani IF our two Madrid agents persuaded their old team mate to come here for a year

Samuel Luckhurst hedging his bets there. It's great to be a journalist as you spout enough rubbish you'll get something right eventually. Basically saying we won't get a new centre back as no-one is buying Maguire, and he's not going to take a pay cut to leave. At least he's linked us to Kudus, FDJ and Bellingham and not Mason Mount.

Tier 2:
  • Incomings
    • New goalscorer - known players in the shortlist:
      • Osimhen
      • Kane
      • Gonçalo Ramos
      • Mohammed Kudus
    • New midfielder - known players in the shortlist:
      • Frenkie de Jong
      • Bellingham
  • Players must be sold to fund purchases and comply with UEFA's financial sustainability rules.
    • Sales will fund the move for a new midfielder
    • More players to be sold than brought in next summer
    • Known players for sale:
      • Maguire
      • Martial
      • Alex Telles
Basically, we'll look to bring in a talented goalscorer regardless, whilst our ability to purchase a midfielder will depend on how our sales go.

We'd need to sell the entire log cabin of deadwood to fund a sale for either FDJ or Bellingham.

Or the (cost of the) players that we bring in will be determined by how much we raise in sales proceeds.
