The Bellingham talk could absolutely be agents trying to get him a larger contract offer at Madrid. I hope if the lad was serious about wanting to play in the Premier League he runs his contract down. How sweet that would be.
I don't see Bellingham like many of you as "world class". He's been no such thing these last two years at Madrid. He's a very good player with great attributes for the Premier League.
I'm also not sure where he would play for us. I mentioned this before. What would that mean for Wirtz?
We all don't consider Wirtz as a "midfielder". These are attacking free roaming players essentially. Wirtz and Bellingham. They're essentially attackers.
I think now it's just agent talk to get their player another inflated contract. Much like Vini.

On his day he is 100% world class. However, when I've watched him, more often than not he has been very inconsistent and often disappeared for long periods during games. There is also the fact that he is an arrogant bellend (as many of the top players are). Feels to me like Madrid is the right club for him to be honest.

I think he's a very good player. Almost world class.
I do think Bellingham would have been better coming to us from Germany though, and then to Madrid later on in his career. Can't help think he's probably peaked too soon.
Would be a fantastic option for us though.
Him, Wirtz, and Szob fighting it out for 2 out of 3 attacking/advanced midfield spaces in the squad. We will be very dangerous and consistently so through the middle.

Hit the nail on the head with the first line, Ron. Nothing more to it than that.

Bellingham is absolutely world class and mixes athletic ability with technique and hard work. I actually think he would be best as a box to box midfielder, but his technical ability and goalscoring lead to him being played further forward. I don't believe the rhetoric that he is an arrogant bellend at all.

Bellingham has no inclination to leave Madrid for us or anyone else. Talking about it is as silly as Arsenal fans thinking they were signing Vini Jnr last week.

I think Bellingham has attributes to succeed in the PL more so than Wirtz. I don't use the term world class, but Bellingham is a top player.

There must be something in Bellingham being a bell end, apparently Dortmund players were glad to see him go.

Why are you talking about it then, Florian, you silly billy.

Is that why TAA was so grumpy the other day?
His best mate could be moving to Anfield?????

You got me red ?. Seriously though, a waste of oxygen. Don't know how anyone even came up with this one. Real would fight to keep him harder than they did with Vinicius, and he has no interest in leaving. Might as well take what the Metro or CaughtOffside are saying seriously.

Haaland loves Bellingham. Mad that Dortmund would let him be captain some games and sign his brother if he was such a difficult character.

It's absolutely possible if Bellingham wants the move. The Anfield crowd would certainly take to him and his personality would be embraced by the fans. The father wanted Jude to join us.
Maybe one for next year if his contract continues to run down.
