These motherfuckers just canāt produce any homegrown player anymoreā¦
Since Raulā¦ (and/or Guti)ā¦ they just fucking buy everywhere.
hope they got bankrupt.

What a player, one of my faves. Great head of hair too. I rocked the thin headband (I think you guys call them alice bands for some reason) trying to be like him. Thankfully there are no pictures.

elegant player
Pedri and Gavi can play a bit and if Fati wasnāt made out of glass, heād be a star.
Youāre right though, that golden generation seems a long time ago.

Nice, he loves Zidane so I half expected him to take #5.

5 is somewhat bearable for a CM. Iād imagine this is his number for his entire time there now.
Mbappe to take the 9 initially then switch to 10 when Modric leaves.
I like this mentality

Is he even fluent in German? Havenāt been able to find any videos of him doing German interviews. Wouldnāt be surprised if they all just spoke English to him when he was there lol
Heās probably gonna be in Spain for a good 10 years or so now so plenty of time and exposure to learn it.
Then again, Beckham was still pretty bad at the time he left Madrid lol
In fairness, itās really easy to live in Germany and not know a word of German 
I still canāt get past the fact that heās still only 19 (NINETEEN).
Was always thinking he was at least two years olderā¦
Madrid got a hell of a deal considering the current market.

This one will hurt Liverpool fans. I think they deserve

What are peopleās expectationās for Bellingham? Can he become one of the greatest English midfielders?
I think he can mate
He proved he can go far playing with England recently. He has everything.
I hope he returns to the PL one day.
I donāt understand how playing for Madrid is a bigger challenge.
Maybe, maybe Madrid is the biggest club, but the PL is the toughest league
If he wants a bigger challenge, PL is the choice.
Going to Madrid is an easier route for me.

Yer I get that, half agree too
I think its the status of the club, Madrid is huge and has a pull for all players
When they come calling players do not say no
Pressure as a player at Real is perhaps bigger than it as in the PL and theyāre in the midst of a rebuild now, thatās definitely a good challenge.
It is not an easy option really especially when you consider just winning La Liga isnāt enough there.
All the talk of the PL being the toughest league may be true but at its heart itās turned into a one team league and isnāt far off of being the Bundesliga in that respect when it comes to competing for the top prize.

So heās a glory hunter basically.
I also canāt believe weāre spending similar amounts/more on Declan Rice, when this guy was available 
I donāt think heāll stay at Madrid very long, heās so young I can see him moving on in about 3-4 years. Unless he ends up being a world beater.
Liverpool fans were going crazy for him so I canāt imagine theyāre taking the rejection very well. Every club gets put in their place once in a while and Madrid proven to be the bigger fish.
