Literally no chance here
- his club won’t sell him this window
- I don’t think we’ve got 90m for him
- I think he’s waiting for Liverpool

I think we can get most players these days, but he’s in the very top bracket and I don’t think it’s a runner

100% agreed. I think even if we splunked 90 mil out liverpool would find the money and drop it as well much like Diaz. I just don't see it actually happening especially with Dragon saying Conte wants 3 more big signings. It feels like if we did have 90 mil to spend it would be on 3 more not just bellingham..... but never say never i guess

So, with the negativity around , we might as well close this thread right?. I'd say nothing is impossible these days, nothing is straight forward, never was but......nice piece of news from el dragon!

You'd think we've had ample time to digest the lessons from the Gareth Bale 'not happening - lock thread' thing but, as usual, some people never learn. It's one thing to think it ain't happening, it's another to say it with cast iron certainty. Not where football is concerned. But that's how people roll. Fine.

But football is a funny old game. never say never. Except some of you still haven't learned that :LOL:

Me? I don't think it'll happen :hungry:

No chance at all... waste of time. He's bound for Liverpool. Klopp has already sniffed around his old club. It's been in the German media for over a year now... if we can do this, then it will be the wildest transfer I can remember ?

Great player, but I can't help but feel we have other more pressing needs in this squad? Also Sancho looked the business in that Dortmund team and has struggled so far to adapt to the PL. Can somebody who's more familiar than I with the situation give an indication as to whether that's likely to repeat or not?

Here's the thing - even if we are in talks for him (which I can somewhat believe, they at least would listen to us given that we're an English club with money to spend), what do you think is going to happen?

Let's say we get a bid accepted for the 90m ballpark figure Dragon mentioned.

You think Dortmund are just going to keep that on the hush hush? Sell their prized asset quietly behind closed doors?

No, Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Madrid, god knows who else will get their chance to match the deal. They'll stoke a bidding war. And as usual when dealing with mega rich clubs, we will come out the loser.

Ok ok you’ve suckered me in. If we all change our avatars it could happen again. I’m in.

To be fair the core of the cult never doubted it.
I for one had been coming up with reasons it’s probably for years, only to be let down every time.
On Jude, I certainly don’t see it happening for very different reasons.
1) it won’t happen
2) lock thread

Every champions league team should hold an interest in him. That’s all the D1 news is.

Really good we have made our intentions clear with him though and have our hat in the ring. We should be trying for players of his calibre. Doesn’t mean we want him this summer either. People have obviously jumped the gun on that too and need to get away from the inferiority complex about us being in for these kind of players. It’s where the club is hopefully heading.

There’s likely nothing to this. BVB have lost Haaland to City, and his replacement Haller has testicular cancer. There’s a lot of shocked players in the squad right now, and players leaving isn’t on the cards.
