Borussia Dortmund value 19-year-old England midfielder Jude Bellingham, a transfer target of Manchester United and Liverpool, at around £130m. (Athletic - subscription required)

 

 

I've loved this player since Birmingham but I see ZERO possibility that we sign him. He will go elsewhere when he leaves BVB.

I am pretty bearish on our prospects for summer 2023

No CL, if that happens, will fuck us hard

I do not think we have decent shots at most all of the top players who will be remotely available in 2023

I think the only ones we have a shot at (and many will be close to, or more than £90-100m) are

Declan Rice (but HARD pass at £150m)
Victor Osimhen (will not be easy)
Josko Gvardiol (and if we do not lock him up in January, our chances go down and down)
Moisés Caicedo (will not be easy at all)
Moussa Diaby  
Mikel Oyarzabal  (if fully recovered)
Kouadio Koné

 

I think we have little to no chance on

Jude Bellingham 
Christopher Nkunku 
Bernardo Silva   ????
Dušan Vlahović  ????
Lautaro Martínez ????
Florian Wirtz  (if fully recovered)
João Félix   ????
Rafael Leão ????
Sergej Milinković-Savić   
Nicolò Barella ????
Achraf Hakimi   ????
Federico Chiesa (if fully recovered) ????
Milan Skriniar  ????
Frenkie de Jong    ????
Alessandro Bastoni   ????
Theo Hernández  ???? (if we dump Chilwell, which is really unlikely) 
Jan Oblak  ????
José Gayà

Is he good?

Not sure if he's ready to be a first team player for us right away but seems really promising at least. 13 goals and 16 assists in 58 appearances for Dinamo so far and he's been 17-18yo for most of that time. Plays midfield and LW so could be an understudy to Mount and Sterling?

Definitely worth a punt at the €15M release clause if a deal can be sorted out. If he develops into something good, the price will have been peanuts and if not, he can easily be shipped out for the same price later on.

I like the look of Diaby, reminds me a bit of young Malouda on the wing, running at defenders at will, stretching the defense, adding that bit of physicality on the wing.   He'll probably have plenty of options to choose from if he does leave the Bundesliga though...

He is one of the very few elite wingers who will be available in 2023. Plus he is a left-footed RW.

Chiesa, Oyarzabel, and Wirtz (more of an AMF) all had horrid injuries.

I fear we do not have the pull to grab either Leão or Nkunku (he is more of an SS and AMF).

Bowen has had a horrid start.

That leaves, besides Diaby:

Ousmane Dembélé, but now no longer free, he will cost €50m due to his new release clause.

 

Then:

RW Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

RW Yéremy Pino 

RW Hirving Lozano

RW Viktor Tsygankov

RW Ismaïla Sarr

RW Noni Madueke 

RW Nico Williams

RW Luiz Henrique 

 

 

LW Mykhaylo Mudryk

LW Cody Gakpo

LW Anthony Gordon

LW Allan Saint-Maximin

 LW Pedro Neto 

LW Kamaldeen Sulemana

Given Dembele's current form, i say he is easily worth that price. As for Leao we already have Sterling who occupying the same position, so spending more than £50m for him seems very unnecessary.

See him more effective as a CAM.

Florian Wirtz, is a perfect fit for Pep system. Can see him being Bernardo Silva long term replacement.

Should be perfect fit for us too since we need a playmaker.

Huge fan of him, i would love him here. I am not deterred by his injury, he has good pace but his game is more about dribbling, close control, creativity, vision, etc.
