George Bello at LASK (Austria)

kid looks 43 years old

 

Eh I think it's just the picture. He looks like a kid whenever I've seen him

 

Just don’t go to the premier league

 

Not even in the slightest, your literally getting fooled by a baby mustache and the genetics of a hairline that will disappear before prime.

 

I know this Twitter sources credibility is questionable, but I’m still going to post it here

I think that Twitter account is just making inferences, like MLS Transfers does. I came to the same conclusion the Gutman selection was an indicator ATL may move him this offseason. It seems about time. He was arguably their best player & has been there 3 years.

If nothing else this is a jumping off point for a warranted discussion about Bello's European prospects.

 

Atlanta would do well to move him. They have a lot to hurt their image recently - including offloading their best players for scrub players and denying call-ups, and being able to prove they can develop youth that goes onto bigger and better things would really help that image.

 

That’s the smell of cap in the air.

 

Bello has been garnering serious interest from Club Brugge in recent weeks.

 

Club Brugge certainly has their eyes on MLS then. Made an offer for Reynolds, and were rumored to be interested in Dike but not willing to meet Orlando's valuation.

They're an extremely well run club, and would be a perfect European starting point for someone like Bello. Their current LB, Uruguayan Frederico Ricca, is probably getting sold this summer (been linked with Lazio).

 

Brugge feels like they're everywhere -- MLS included. They must've ramped up their scouting network.

 

happy to see it happening, but seeing their targets could easily mean they went from 0 people looking at mls to 1

 

I believe that would be a good move if he could get playing time. Only thing is they seem to have 3 left backs ahead of him.

If I were him, I’d step it down from Club Brugge. Maybe Standard Liege or Cercle Brugge? He would likely get more playing time there. And he would still be in a good enough environment to get noticed by bigger clubs.

 

There's no reason to believe that is an option. He doesn't just get to pick.

 

Multiple reports from Turkey are saying Galatasaray are interested in a 19 year old LB from the USA. Most people are saying that player is George Bello.

Not sure how true this rumors are but that's what's being talked about. #USMNT pic.twitter.com/YV7S60Nbmm

More turkey rumors

 

Galatasaray is kind of an underwhelming destination. My impression is that Turkey seems to be a quasi-retirement league at this point where they bring in guys who aren't ancient, but who can't hack it anymore in the top 5 leagues. Do they have a record of developing and selling younger guys the other direction in the past several years?

 

I haven’t followed that league at all, but Cyle Larin is doing pretty well over there and he has a $20m price tag with premier league teams targeting him.

What does Robinson have to do. He has been a beast for USMNT. Josef Martinez says he is the best defender he has ever played against.
