As great as Bellingham is, he’s not the best player in the world. Not yet. Someone like KDB is still a better player. Messi probably is still the better footballer. Mbappe and Haaland are still both better players right now. However, Bellingham’s ceiling is absolutely huge and he can probably surpass any of the above, bar Messi.

This is genuinely no slight on him, I agree that I can’t recall any midfielder at his age that was as complete as him etc. I just think he’s not the best in the world just yet. Probably top 5 or top 10.

There are so many people on here who are desperately trying to cope with the idea that City might not be found guilty by making little fantasies for themselves.

As a City fan, it’s hilarious. The desperation is crazy.

Why wouldn’t we stick around?

We have the highest % of long serving fans in the PL. We averaged 30,000 at our lowest point in a 34,000 seater stadium. Questioning City fans’ loyalty is so daft.

Almost as daft as multiplying the amount of charges by 12 points to determine how many points City will be ‘deducted’.
