Incredible that people think that Bellingham will go for less than 150m

Geez calm down. Bellingham is a terrific young talent but he's not Haaland or Mbappe etc.

Not at all, he’s a central midfielder, not a striker.

Good get for Dortmund.

 

[chef]

Porto wanted the same for Diaz. Monaco are a selling club, imagine if we were to sign him it would be nowhere near 80m.

They have Real and us chasing Tchouaméni signature. They'll get their price and won't just fold like Porto.

 

[moomba]

Grealish for 100m was also madness. Combination of oil money & English tax.

PMSL.

Which is why the 150 you just said IMO is way off. You only pay that kind of money for goal scorers.

This is just more of the same from the usual suspects which borders on online bullying.

I asked a simple question about what each person on here would prefer their respective teams go after. Both midfielders are probably the two standout young English mids in world football so thought it would be interesting to see who would people prefer.

"Of course Jod was going say Bellingham. Chased by LFC and thus a future goat in their one eyed minds." - Art vandelay
"And of course both pale in comparison to Fabinho." - SM
"The Right Honorable Lord Fabinho to us mere non liverbird plebians." - Art vandelay
"He plays for Liverpool and we don’t praise him enough on here." - RPCB
"If we don't call them the greatest for their position in the world they aren't being praised enough" - Hawkman

And only SM even bothered to answer the question before then trying to stick the boot in.

I thought I might be able to stir up some interesting debate about each player and how the player you think would suit your team best.

But instead you all just attacked me.

And that guys, is BigFooty.

If you feel attacked on here, either ignore it, fight back, block them or simply just leave BF.

This is a public forum open for discussion, arguments and sometimes abuse depending how one takes it.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion if you feel your opinions are giving others opportunities to belittle you simply don't post.

Sancho without COVID tax was going for 120m. Bellingham will be far more complete, plus England player plus future club/national captain. All adds up.

Then why did you pile in mate? Why didnt you read what was been said and approach the question. Tell us who you think would be a better fit for United out of the two outstanding young English talents. I mean I asked a question. It was your choice to lump in with SM and Art and just try to make fun of me.

If you dont stand for bullying, be better.

He is apologising for his actions and you tell him to be better, really?

 

[Memphis]

Is Fab even the best defensive mid in the league let alone the world?

Maybe in the top 10 discussion but that's about it.

I don’t think Bellingham will go for £150M. Not that he’s not worth that to Dortmund but because there hasn’t been a precedent set for midfield players going for close to that much.

 

[Memphis]

Spot on. On both points.

Bellingham would cost less but be a much bigger gamble.

If we couldn't get Rice then I would go for Bellingham.

 

[moomba]

So many variables for Bellingham. Contract length, how he develops, champions league qualifying, what he wants to do. Be surprised if he goes for more than £100m, but who knows.

Fair point. Honestly I don’t think any football player should be worth that amount of cash - but it’s a race to the bottom to get the most funding from the dodgiest sources possible these days, so nothing surprises me.

Can't see them getting more than 70-80 mil for him.

£150m is a lot of money but world record fees have been spent on Zidane, Figo, Kaka and Pogba in the past. Not out of the equation that a midfielder could cost £150m over the next 5 years.

If we base Bellingham's worth based on Sancho's output since his return to the EPL then his fee should be nowhere near 150m or even 100m.

On Declan Rice? No chance. This is just West Ham trying to drum up interest for a decent fee before his contract runs down. Real & Bayern aren't even into him. Seems the only real interest is from Utd & Chelsea.

If a midfielder goes for £150m its gonna be an attacking midfielder << who can also play on the wings racking up goals / assists galore.

Bellingham, who is the one who was suggested as going for that.

 

[Zidane98]

If he signs a new deal and keeps improving at the current rate he's a possibility for sure in 2-3 years time. Right now, definitely not.

But according to you the midfielder needs to rack up assists and goals galore to be that price.

Bellingham's stats are decent enough, especially for an 18 year old, but he's never been described as that type and I don't think ever will be that type.

He's a traditional #8.

Bellingham could very well be the next Gerrard which would see plenty of goals & assists racked up from #8 position. That's the sort of midfielder you would want to be buying for 150m.

 

[pantskyle]

Shouldn't be buying any player let alone a mid for 150m. Madness.
