52m is a lot of money to be fair.
Looks like we're lining up our Kelleher replacement.
Bellingham is a freak, I know it's lazy to compare him to Gerrard but he is very similar in the fact he has no weakness, he's elite in nearly every area.Didn't see that match but that's quality output, especially against Bayern who have a very strong midfield. Anyone winning duels is a huge positive, one of our current biggest weaknesses.So many talents around, really is no excuse for us to not improve ourselves dramatically.https://www.sporting.pt/en/tags/manuel-ugarte#:~:text=Ugarte%20signs%20for%20Sporting%20CP&text=Sporting%20Clube%20de%20Portugal%20have,clause%20of%2060%20million%20euros.Sporting Clube de Portugal have signed midfielder Manuel Ugarte as their latest summer reinforcement, with the Uruguayan joining through to 2026. The contract for the former FC Famalicão player, who was presented this Monday in Alcochete, has a buyout clause of 60 million euros.
Can't say i've watched Bellingham that much for whole games to say if he's close,but yeah Gerrard's a really tough yardstick to compare any midfielder against as he had every physical attribute you'd want married with a superior mentality and even finishing with his screamers from anywhere from halfway line onward in his pomp.
Really hope that is the case. I know he's playing in a struggling side, but with a player in that situation you'd perhaps expect to see the odd flash of brilliance that would make you think there is something to work with there, but I haven't seen anything like that.

Be a shame if we lose Keheller. Hopefully, we'll be sensible enough to put a buy-back clause in his contract.
I'm sure we'd try, but even if we do we could only guarantee the selling club had to allow us to talk to him if we offer x fee. We'd then offer him a deal which he'd be under no obligation to accept it.
Sounds like we want to give Milner a new contract. “I’m not too loyal”
I’ve no issue with this at all providing he’s a bit part player and not starting as many games as he has been this season. He’s a brilliant professional and has never let himself or the club down, not his fault we neglected to sign a midfielder.
We do have money, we're the fuckin' third riches club on the planet and #2 if not for the artificially inflated blue mancs. We're going after Bellingham for fucks sakes.
I was under the impression that the player accepted the terms of the buy back clause when leaving, so if we were to activate it in future he'd have no choice in the matter as he's already agreed to it. This could be absolute bullshit though.
FSG already making excuses about reduced budget if no champions league
That's common sense the way we're run that doesn't mean we're not getting investment though does it? The whole fuckin' point of them looking for investment is for us to spend more than what we'd normally do.
Where did they say that?
via their usual channels in the media
the club that powns the player
Ah, you mean you made it up!
You must invest millions into businesses regularly then? It doesn't take days or weeks you know. Tell me is that before or after lifting weight's?

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
I can’t imagine Asam would say something that he couldn’t back up…would he?
I remember Pearce or Jones saying we won't have as much to spend in the summer if we don't have CL football next season, not long ago.
+ Joyce Is there any journalist on record saying there will be absolute no financial impact to the transfer budget with no champions league?
