Been a fan of Madrid for amost 25 years and learning this fact made me really love him right away. I hope he brings us a couple CL and Laligas in his 10-15 years. Or even better maybe he learns the secrets from Modric and stays healthy and just magical till 38, playing for us for 18 years! Wouldn't that be increadible?! I'd love that.

​@@cupperdigger3494Seeing him play live against my club (SC Freiburg) for years was a pleasure. We'll miss him in the Bundesliga, that's for sure. It's the smartest transfer Madrid can do.

That's not how retired numbers work I doubt.

@@moreblack Thing is he could've gone to Dortmund for free and decided to sign a new contract just so he could be sold.

@@moreblack Get the point bruv

Errm, Dortmund isn't exactly a small club! I think I know what you mean but maybe a bit disrespectful :)

@@bagpussmacfarlan9008 didn’t know how to word it tbh, too late to change now tho

​@@bagpussmacfarlan9008He didn't say it's small club but it's not a big club either when you put it next to Madrid, Barca, Liverpool, Juve, Bayern, Chelsea, and even United with all their woes. It's become a "stepping stone" club.

@@masilomoshesh1475 It's a big club...I knew what he meant, just wanted to point it out. Literally has one of the biggest weekly attendances in Europe...but yeah, it's not RM, Bayern etc etc...

top man

how much did bhc got for the madrid sell on ?

@@phillyjackson1680 From what I've read, around 10M

@@phillyjackson1680so altogether they got around 35m probably…which is massive money for a championship club

​@phillyjackson1680 10M I believe, for a total 35M from him to BHC

saved them from liquidation as well

We don’t get much joy at the blues he was a breath of fresh air for us

He also made sure that there was a sell on fee in his bvb contract

@@bigt6665 yesss that was it, thank you. I remember a lot of fans basically crediting him with saving the club, from what I heard, he's genuinely beloved over there

@@trappz_io2620 In German contracts it is standard that the club who produced the talent is going to get a compensation fee for all the future transfers.

When he retires, Modric will be in his prime.

@@androidgamingking630 ong!!!

I wonder if they ever just decide to hold on to these players and make a push for a UCL or something. If they held on to their last crop of talents they couldve had such a great team

@@athunderfan they will never do that because its their clubs identity, just like Real only that real buys the best players on the market Galacticos ...

@@athunderfan Problem is that they can only attract these young talents if they give them official or unofficial release clauses.

@@skolf5732 yeah it is very far fetched, but I love underdogs and would hope that maybe one day they can contend for some silverware

@@malvo2496 yeah the financial side is another difficulty

I swear 😂😂

And you got a metric shitton of money. ;) That should sweeten the pot a bit.

He is so differnt to iniesta and zidane wtf. Don't think he will be as good as them but definitely a generational talent

«Stop it, get some help.»-Michael Jordan

@@channers625 Hold up first of all no player is the same as any other player. Everyone is their own thing. I simply stated what he reminds me of. And second, he's still a kid. Don't assume he won't reach heights like Iniesta and Zidane did, because I can assure you they didn't become greats when they were 19 years old

@@kyriakos02 If he reminds you of Iniesta and Zidane you shouldn't be watching football. People like you look at football like you play FIFA, you just look at their age and you think he's got so much potential. He does. But not like Zidane. You can just tell if you watch how they play and the qualities they have. Zidane was a transcendent player. Jude doesn't have have those qualities. He is very well rounded and is very mature of his age and has a great personality. But in terms of quality, he's not at level of Zidane. I'm a Madrid supporter so I wish he is as good but I doubt it. Pedri is ahead of him unforuntately

@@channers625you think Pedri is ahead of Jude...

Most definitely he knew his dream hood club was madrid and he was determined to go there this isn’t like a mbappe situation that’s why I love Bellingham so mature for his age he doesn’t car about money or the drama he just wants to play football

Agree 💯 Jude seems very alpha male and a natural leader you can tell all the Real Madrid players look up to him and respect him that's why I think after Nacho he'll be captain although some are saying Fede but I wouldn't be surprised if Jude gets it before him

Honestly I think Jude is gonna be like the David Beckham of this generation re fame and reach because he's conventionally attractive I see a lot of brands wanting to work with him and he'll be the biggest sports superstar in the world

Jude owns football 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's the mentality that sets him apart...I don't see him being bothered one bit about being at RM. They know that too, very few on the planet have a brain like his and proper talent. I love Sancho but you can see the difference...

Ha, looks like I was right, he's in his element!

We are definitely living in the Jude era lol 😂 it's happening

Yes, he could have left at 17 for a fee of £300k in compensation, but elected to make Dortmund pay to save Birmingham. He could have taken it as a signing bonus if he was greedy

I really don't think that PSG will relinquish him without a fight

So said so done ✅😂

united were not even close lol

@@jk269 before he went to dortmund

@@jk269 were so incleedibly close it was unreal But idiots at the club had to fuk it up Same with haaland Saf had showed Bellingham around carrington, at 17 so we knew he was special. If I remember he didn’t come to us because he was not guaranteed football and we took way too long to secure the deal. The haaland was even worse because ole wanted him, we all thought we were going to get him ole even hinted at press conference we would get him, but we didn’t because the stupid glazers and Woodward would not pay an extra 5 mil which would have bought him for around 25 mil euros I believe. And he wanted to work with ole again and play for Utd.

Post fergie Man U is where promising young careers go to die, I’m so happy he didn’t go there

Man Utd has already ruined Sancho and it's doing to Rashford what Tottenham has done to Kane.

The second black English player for Madrid. He is a legend already and that’s crazy

I'm not surprised because usually Madrid goes scouting in Brazil for players but for him to have been watching Jude that long suggests there was some sort of insider connection

Hopefully he doesn't get any serious injuries

He’s incredibly mature and is good at pretty much everything. It’s hard to think of a good comparison for his style. Potentially the heartbeat of Madrid and England for the next decade and a half

He's not better than Pogba in any way. He's overated. He's no Zidane.

@@Kirui_Nyamorhe’s 19 lmao he will be better than both of them

Bellingham in right back, Camavinga in left back and you've got the greatest line of defense 💪💪

Camavinga needs to play in the middle - he got rusty after playing at LB. Compare the exhibition in Anfield with any game he was at LB. Tchouameni out, and Camavinga the resident 6.

it’s the curse of irish football, we’ve had nothing to attract anyone since robbie left

Jason Knight is a baller DCFC come on you rams

​@@Virgil191that shouldn't be important. Jack Grealish, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham are all English as far as I'm concerned. Sure they have Irish ancestry to some extent and yes, the way Grealish and especially Rice shafted us did leave a very bitter taste but as far as I'm concerned, they're English. We need to do better at developing IRISH players. We've been shite at that for the good part of a decade now We used to have the likes of Paul Mcgrath, Roy Keane, Liam Brady, Dennis Irwin, Ronnie Whealan, etc. Now our most exciting player at the moment is Evan Ferguson who's a teenager playing for Brighton and although he looks class and has a lot of potential, you can see how far we've fallen off Even if you go back to the late Naughties when we were weren't very good, we still had the likes of Robbie Keane, Shay Given, Richard Dunne, Damien Duff, John O'Shea and Steve Finnan who were all playing in the Premier League for some very well established and even successful English clubs. Even during the 2010's we had the likes of Seamus Coleman and Shane Long playing consistent football in the Premier League We should sort out our own problems with the lack of world class talent in Ireland before trying to pry away talent from England

@@fivestarman5130 i honestly think it’s because nothing draws young talent to us anymore, if someone has a two eligibilities such as ireland and england they’re always going to choose england because right now the prestige of that squad is atmospheric compared to ours and it’s because our most notable name is bazunu. You look back at even the early 10’s with robbie there was at least something to get players but now it’s completely non existent. Personally i think the next wave of irish talent is gonna come from england born players who have very irish roots, like the irish community in london alone is booming and i’m a product with it and it’s even extending into gaelic for an extent which i was apart of, we’re never going to have a great home growth scheme since we’re too small but luckily we spread like the plague but we just need to make use of that and ACTUALLY look for talent abroad where there’s statistically more irish people thsn there is in ireland

@@fivestarman5130 it really does say a lot when some of our best players play for Rotherham, Derby and St. Mirren. Genuinely embarrassing

He's very advanced for his age hearing him talk he sounds 50 lol but that's not a bad thing that's why I'm predicting he'll be like a Michael Jordan/David Beckham of football I don't doubt aside from Mbappe he's going to be the biggest superstar in football he just has the whole package he's tall he's handsome influential men want to look like him women want to sleep with him he's charismatic articulate photogenic personable I don't mean to glaze 😂 but if you're doing PR for Real Madrid Jude is a dream come true because he has it all

Interesting, because when I watched Ozil on the Bernabeu grass, I saw the most lazy and frustrating waste of space to ever have been given the privilege. I'm sure Bellingham doesn't have that in him though. That said, the shirt weighs heavy in Madrid - only the best can handle that.

​@@abody499ozil is one of the most technically gifted players to play the game don't disrespect him

@@user-ol8ri4lb7d well, maybe, but I sat and watched him make no effort when effort was required - that's the quickest way to lose the support of the Bernabeu. there is nothing worse in football than a player with all the ability to be a world star, but too lazy to realise that potential.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Musiala tho 💀💯

And we are gonna pay lol

stop spreading shit to push the english overpriced narrative... it was 90 mil+ add ons for a player who is KEY to west ham and has 3 years on his contract

I think Real Madrid have been looking for that next big thing after Ronaldo left and they found it Jude like Ronaldo was in his prime Jude is tall conventionally attractive articulate charismatic personable influential eg men want to look like him women want to sleep with him and he's marketable plus I read Jude's jersey has been the #1 selling jersey this season if you're doing PR for Real Madrid Jude is pretty much a dream come true lol 😂 he's made for TV he is the whole package

Since Ronaldo left Real Madrid want a new superstar so Jude came at the right time Jude like Ronaldo is tall conventionally attractive articulate charismatic personable influential and more importantly marketable if you're doing PR for Real Madrid Jude is a dream come true 🥰 dude is so made for TV

it's perfect timing I think Real Madrid really needed him they have been looking for that next big superstar since Ronaldo left and they found Jude so I have a feeling Jude is going to be pushed heavily by the Real Madrid PR machine as the next big thing as like Ronaldo Jude is tall conventionally attractive articulate charismatic has personality influential and personable he's like made for TV 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Excited to see the likes of Jacob Ramsey flourish too. Will always root for Brummies/Midlanders on the world stage. And kind of interesting how Jack and Jude, the two most expensive English players ever, are from both sides of Brum!

rooney carried england for a bit.

@@jamorfati No doubt but when he was 16-18 we all thought he was the next Pele.

Y'all put too much pressure on Rooney. He was supposed to fend off Chelsea Liverpool City at the club level and win a world cup with Darren Bent and Peter Crouch with Lampard Gerrard and Scholes all playing out of position.

@@shadow_realm47 All I am saying is that he wasn't as good as we all thought he might have become, and yes the injuries (the 3 metatarsals in 2004, 2006 & 2007 and especially the ankle injury in March 2010) really didn't help, neither did his drinking and general self-abuse. Definitely a great England player but not at the level that Ronaldo, Messi, Ibra got to around the same time. But if you go back and watch him in the 2003-7 timeframe we really though we were getting something amazing

Not only Moukoko! Watch Adeyemi, Duranville, Bynoe-Gittens and Kamara

Insane? They might be a big favourites on winning the tournament at first until: 1.They faced bigger teams like France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, or Spain. A game at which England might fall short. 2.They lost on penalty shootout. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@ezraezra2928their team consists of alot of young players tho which would evolve till 2026 and if not that one then surely the 2030 one

@@Baltiquee Crazy thing is they didn't include Ivan Toney. He was a phenomenal at first with Brentford up until a long-term ban really destroyed his dream.

they will overhype themselfs to the point of implosion as usual

​@@ezraezra2928Southgate has a clear bias against players who don't play at big clubs. I don't think we needed Toney anyway imo.

Cheers!

Absolutely 🤗 sky's the limit for him

the comparison is basically circumstantial because they play very different roles and with very different playstyles with Musiala MUCH further forward with almost no defensive responsibilities as opposed to Jude.

@@jsh7939 You misunderstood my comment then. I'm pretty sure it's already widely known they are different types of midfielders - put aside the experiments of Nagelsmann to play Musiala as number 8, the man is clearly thriving when playing either as a 10 or a left winger with more of an inverted winger/advanced midfielder role. What I would like to see is a video of Musiala's current and potential impact on the Bayern team in the years to follow. Hot take, I consider him to have even a higher ceiling than Bellingham does, all things considered.

Came to make a similar comment. Musiala is also a generational talent, a 10 in a generation where classic 10s are basically dead.

@@olszi00 meh. They’re both so young that we won’t be able to tell and like I said they’re very different players. Bellingham has certainly made the right career step though.

Not really, Real needs a box to box with good foot, something like Makelele, Casemiro, Xabi Alonso etc

It’s also a problem that came about because he never got any rest at Dortmund and he was pushed to play through his injuries. No doubt at Madrid he will not have that kind of responsibility or pressure just yet, and won’t have to play quite as many minutes. He seems to take his career and fitness seriously so I hope he recovers fully soon and for now prioritises his health over his desire to play.

@@user-ed7et3pb4os scz s Z

brother he was basically playing as a striker and midfielder for Dortmund when injuries occurred in their squad. He got over worked, that’s injury prone to begin with. He’s 20 he hasn’t even developed into his adult body

@@ItsAuddo I hear what you are saying and there in lies the problem. A lot of young players who haven't fully developed and are thrown in early due to their immense ability tend to have a career blighted by injuries. A recent example is Jack Wilshire who once had Barcelona courting him but he never quite hit the heights due to a string of injuries. I hope Jude is managed better at RM

So said so done ✅😂

That's what I heard Jude's signing saved the club from going bankrupt

Same. Lol
