So patronising haha. I see you've gone for the equivalent of calling someone a Tory in the Current Affairs forum when you can't really back up a point.
I made my point in my previous reply. Haaland was sold to Dortmund for around €20m. They can likely make at least 4 times that this Summer with teams trying to get in early before the bidding war in 2022 when his release clause comes into play. Sancho they can sell this Summer for a ludicrous profit. A player that seems to have been quite happy to move back to the Premier League for a year or so. His price will have also dropped from the reported €100m+ that was spoken about not too long ago. So the easy profit is there.
Bellingham signed less than a year ago and is already getting a lot of playing time at Dortmund at 17. He is already playing for England. He was wanted by Man Utd and other clubs much bigger than us in the current game. His value is only going to go up and he is on a long contract with no release clause. So you suggesting we might be able to get him for £45m is laughable.
To answer your question, i imagine you would be looking at about £70m absolute minimum to get him now. I know the market has changed and prices might be a bit lower. But he will be in huge demand if Dortmund entertained selling him this Summer. We are not in that market, especially given we likely won't have Champions League next year.
Same way we aren't paying Donnarumma £350k a week, same way we aren't buying Camavinga. You live in a weird fantasy land where we have money we don't have and we are the only team in the running for all these fantastic young players.
So you think...
Donnarumma is moving for £350k a week
Bellingham is valued at £70mil+
Camavinga will also go for a fortune (they seem to also mention £45mil a lot)
But yet you admit the £122mil Sancho price will be reduced under £100mil (reports say £84mil).
There are 4 factors why Bellingham would join us:
1: He'd be starting as many games as possible for us. One or the reasons he turned down the premier league when he moved to Dortmund was game time.
2: The manager is better than almost any other in world football. He's managed the players at the levels Bellingham wants to reach.
3: We have the money.
4: The English spine is Pickford/Godfrey/DCL. If we bring in a super CM we have the full house of the English core and spine.
If theres £100mil available as rumoured then even if thats the total for a young top RB with high potential and Bellingham then its worth paying.
The whole dynamic of the team changes.
If not Bellingham, then yes Gravenberch or Camavinga...if not them Kamara or Guimaraes.
You go down the list of targets to bring in top quality and top potential in the centre.
Its called ambition.
