Oooh! Petro Dollars Buys EPL, UEFA & FIFA.. But Can't Buy Youuu! Hey Jude! Bellingham Thread

So how long before he gets spainish citizenship because I am eyeing those non eu spots. [emoji848]

 

This better not turn out how it did for our last record signing...especially given who started that thread with the legendary shit thread titles.

Welcome to the big time, Jude!

 

An utterly fantastic player. Dunno what he cost but it will be worth it.

 

Shit so it’s official

and accompanied by the appropriate signature @YOUNGSTARS87 shit thread title

life is good

 

And what’s this shit about a poll?

We live and die by the YS shit titles. It’s part of our DNA

 

It was shit

I posted about it on the other teams thread

Almost threw down with some ultras from Inter and I’m not the type to throw down

I’m a chill dude

 

It’s extremely important that we continue signing some top talents to stay relevant in the market

this was a major win

need to steal Haaland in the future

 

Haaland winning increases the likelihood that Mbappe moves to Madrid.

I can not see Haaland moving until he has 3 or 4 years in th EPL. Any discussion of Mbappe vs. Haaland preferences are pointless. Only one will be potentially available any time soon.

 

it seems weird to say, and speculation because I’m not either of those players, but I don’t know if the tagline “these clubs may have the money and current success but RM has the prestige” works anymore. I don’t know if the current footballer, Bellingham aside, thinks about that or even cares. That’s why I also consider signing Jude as a big victory in and of itself.

 

Jude's younger brother Jobe is also a talented attacking midfielder. Would take a punt on him and reunite the brothers in Madrid, hopefully the kid can come up the ranks.

 

His father is of Jamican descent, and I believe his mother maybe of Kenyan descent (I have not seen confirmation yet). If he can grab either passport, he would not count as EU under the cotonou agreement.

 

Where did you get this information from? His dad is white British.

 

I did some research.... called google.

Edit: I am fairly sure about the father, the mother's background is harder to discern. It is known that she is East African, and my Dortmund friends claim she is Kenyan but that may be just because Jude has done charity work in Kenya.

 

His father is not Jamaican. He’s white british.

His father was an English non league footballer himself.

 

Does he look Jamaican to you?

 

Lol so true

 

Shocker! The PC police who always gets worked up over race is back again.

I know skin color doesn't make the person less part or more part of a certain nationality. Just like South Africa has white and black people.

But his father is literally born and bred in West Midlands.

 

Don’t know about the PC police, however , posting a picture and asking “ does he look Jamaican to you” surely doesn’t make any sort of …… sense, now, back to Jude, wonder when he is being presented

 

No you always get offended when someone brings race or skin color up. You want to find any opening to call them out for racism, bigotry, etc. when it's a simple statement.

And it wasn't stupid; it's a fact. Jamaica is 92% Afro-Jamaicans. Get over it.

Moreover, his father is literally from West Midlands. Not Jamaica.
