Birmingham City teenager Jude Bellingham has completed a move to German giants Borussia Dortmund which could eventually be worth over £30m.

The 17-year-old midfielder has signed a long-term deal with Dortmund.

Bellingham, who is the Blues' youngest player, will leave the Championship club after their final game of the season on Wednesday.

I can't say I have ever seen him play or know about all the hype, but I can't help but feel lots of people think he will be amazing because of Sancho.

Sounds like a lot of clubs were sniffing around him, but it's an awful lot of money in this climate. Although I guess Dortmund see it as a long term investment knowing if he is half decent some team in the Premier League will buy him at some point.

He must have his head screwed on going to Dortmund the way the coach their players.

I thought he was headed for united but obv not, great player. Birminghams best player in the past 2 seasons as a 16/17 yo!

Would be a good signing for them. He's only 32 and while he has been plagued with injuries the past couple of seasons he can still do a job. I think he will do much better there than at Leicester which was where he was originally rumoured to go.

Biggest rumours at the moment are Havertz to Chelsea (which does look pretty nailed on) and Thiago to Liverpool. The Sancho to Man Utd links don't go away either..

Bournemouth have accepted a £41M bid from Manchester City for Nathan Ake. It feels like a bit of a strange signing for City to make but I guess for Bournemouth there will be plenty more departures to come.

He's a good player, think he will be played at left back. Concerns around his injuries, but I like him a lot as a player, I'd have definitely taken him at Liverpool due to the versatility.

That's a good signing even at that price tag. Stones obviously isn't cutting the mustard at City so they need a dependable consistent partner for Laporte rather than chopping and changing their CBs all the time. Says a lot that Fernandinho is preferred to both Stones & Otamendi when all are available.

I think he's a good player as well but I would have thought that they would have gone for a big name signing as that is what they normally do rather than getting a player from a relegated club.

You can't look at it that way all the time, I mean look at Andy Robertson! Some players can be heavily improved by coaching. Ake was unlucky, he should have really gone back to Chelsea as he would walk in to their central defence, but I think at the time he wanted to be first choice. Aside from Ederson nobody is really first choice at City, but he will play a lot both at CB and LB. Pretty sure he can even play DM as well.

Sancho looks like he is on his way to Utd at £100m.

I will be gutted if this comes off as I like him a lot and he'd be perfect at Liverpool, but no way we could afford that for him unless he one of the front three left. The only thing that fills me with confidence is that he will go to Barcelona/Madrid in 3-4 years time if he performs anywhere near how he is capable.

He'd be much better off at United than Liverpool! biggrin.gif

I think he would be better in the short term at Man Utd as he easily becomes their star, at Liverpool he wouldn't get in to the first team right now but he certainly would in a couple of years time. Good player, I like him a lot but for £100m in Covid-19 times he's not worth it for Liverpool when we wouldn't splash the cash for Werner.

It does worry me slightly that everyone around us in the Premier League seem to be chancing it on their finances and going for big money signings, whilst by all accounts we're waiting to see what happens.

Man Utd would be a good environment for a young player with someone like Ole as the coach so I think he would be good even in the long term as well if he was to stay for many years. He would be a near ever present name on the team sheet.

Liverpool are still in very good shape for the new season even if they don't add to their squad but it's when your best players get to their early 30's when there could be a shift if you don't buy new players and most of your best players are not far off that at the moment.

Don't know if I was a young player and I had the choice of being coached between Ole and Klopp I know who I would choose tongue.gif

See I also don't get this shift and clamour to move all our best players on. Our team is at its peak and if you look around Europe you'd say all the best players across the leagues are late 20s - mid 30s (Vardy, Messi, Ronaldo, Immobile, KDB, Mane, Henderson, Immobile). I see the same attitude from Liverpool fans too just because we have not signed flavour of the month. Everyone wet their beds last summer when Spurs signed Le Celso and Ndombele and look how that turned out!
