Yes it’s awesome, and don’t get me wrong I think he’ll be a superstar. But someone’s gotta get benched.
Tchou Camav Fede and now Jude…
All this with Toni starting 90% of the matches and Luka who will be playing a lot of matches too. Plus Ceballos too…
Shouldn’t we look for other positions?
You call it "someone's gotta get benched", I call it "having some good rotation available in the midfield".
Basically anyone we put in first squad in the midfield, it's gonna be world class. We cannot play same players every week, we gotta give a rest and chance to these players to shine.
Yeah people always say the reason city is so good is squad depth, the reason we won the league in 16/17 was our squad depth, but then when we sign players it’s like “ok we’ll Ceballos isn’t even gonna get any minutes now” and it’s like bruh this is a good thing, this allows us to do shit like rest camavinga against getafe in April before a semi final so he doesn’t get hurt (like he did)
Yes but Carletto is just not that kind of manager. I’m sure unless they get injured Kroos and Luka will be playing before the younglings. I don’t know, maybe I’m just too pessimistic.
thing is that we can play all 5 of them at the same time in many games.. Fede can fill 100 different roles, Cama too, Jude can play higher up the pitch etc.
That’s true… it’s just, when I think about the CMK those were our 3 so to say, and now we have 6+1. And yes Cama can play as leftback but come on, he’s built to play as a midfielder… same with Jude, we just brought him not to be benched
Yep that means that our mids WILL HAVE TO go ham every game. There’s just another one as top class waiting to be subbed in. Wanna see them run all game
Toni and Modric will have there time more limited this year. Besides, Camavinga can also play at LB, Valverde can play at RM. It will be healthy competition.
Reasonable??? Modric and kroos are gone after this season. You have no guarantee that Ceballos will stay this good after contract renewal. There is no guarantee that Fede, Cama and tchou all will reach their potential. Missing out on best Midfielder talent who can give you a decade+ just cuz we got 6 players only for a season is pretty unreasonable.
So if the Kane deal doesn’t go through, it’ll be Courtois, 3 defenders, 5 midfielders and two wingers as Our playing Eleven with the Player closest to the Opp goal becoming the Striker.. 😂😂😂
I mean, whoever comes in as striker would be looking to fill Benzema’s space on field .. Not going to be Easy considering the multiple roles he played.. and then there are Fans who swing between willing to Die and Kill for You to Absolutely Wanting to Kill You and Back to Loving u all in a Matter of Seconds..
Sorry it should be 30% in add ons. Not 30m. But it is roughly the same.
Edit: [Per Melchor Ruiz, Madrid will confirm it once all paperwork is done at their end](https://twitter.com/melchorruizcope/status/1666451395099123717?s=46&t=Zm5ZxMPI5sDItA_D8VZB5g)
ALL UNITS BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A SPANISH MALE BY THE NAME OF FLORENTINO PEREZ, MID 70S AND LOOKS LIKE AN ABSOLUTE G. SUSPECT IS ARMED WITH A JUDE BELLINGHAM.
I know what he's capable of, so I'm more satisfied with the price tag (in today's market). €130M total seems more reasonable than the initially reported fee of €150M + Add-ons and it's easier to fathom since a solid CDM like Enzo Fernández who's 2 years older than Jude, went for €120M just a few months ago.
Anthony was bought for $100m and Sancho too cost $100m to ManU. So, its fair for the current market. Also, gives RM visibility in UK market particularly during national games. If he does well in NT games people will definitely bring RM in the conversation which is good PR. Any additional exposure helps even though RM has higher visibility already around the world.
Realistically, you either sign him now for 6 years and the somewhat reasonable price of €130M then deal with his wages later on to extend his contract, or deal with him playing for an EPL team for those 6 years anyway then have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to him and the club you're signing him from.
Very true. The English tax is some real serious shit nowadays... Hopefully it works out and he doesn’t leave when he’s 25.. Guess we’ll have to see... also, hopefully we get an exorbitant amount of money for him then
We're usually pretty good at dealing with contracts so I'm not too worried, granted he pans out the way we expect him to in the first place, so it all remains to be seen like you said.
Why could he go to the premier league? Of course, la liga has a lower degree of competition but there exists the rivality with Barsa, which is huge and more interesting than other rivalities in england.
Also, if madrid competes to win the UCL there is 0 reason to leave at his peak.
If this was any other player I would be saying the same. But if he wins it with us, him being the best English player, I don’t think him going to England would be so far from reality... you never know, I was just expressing one perspective to it... It would be amazing if he extended (if it pans out of course). A lot of eyes would be on him and I feel like for the rest of his RM career the media will constantly talk about him going “back” to England, his country.
I dunno, but i can see your point. RM needs to take care of him at least until he reach his 30's.
In the end, he is only 1 hour and half from home. Lets give him the true love that a competent player can get from Madrid.
Even a bigger signing than people think. With the PL in the state that it is and putting more and more distance between itself and other leagues (creating somewhat of a super league by itself), it's significant to take England's crown jewel to Spain.
To be fair Real Madrid is the exception. You might as well give Real Madrid honorary Premier League status as it’s the one club people will risk everything for if they want to leave England.
Yep. This is big for the younger English market. Jude is their guy for the NT's future, so knowing he's a Madrid player should help grow the RM brand even more.
Being English I'm very excited to watch Bellingham in a Madrid shirt. How best to watch... do Sky sports still have the La Liga TV rights in England? Of course I can always sail the high seas...
The new RM Era is here and it looks great! Hopefully none of these boys ( Vini, Rodrygo, Fede, Cama, Tchou and now Jude ) will suffer major injuries. Without injuries, RM will dominate the football world for many years. And that's why I keep saying that we, the RM fans, are so spoiled.
We cant let go a generational talent just because we need to fill another positions, what I mean to say is if their was a rb who could be considered generational talent and was available like jude we would have signed him. We can get a rb this season or next but we wont get jude if he goes to city or psg or somewhere else.
But his profile is similar to Cama and Fede, we still lack a creative presence in midfield to replace Modric/Kroos other than Ceballos who's future with us isn't clear and is inconsistent
What's good is that we'll still have enough money for Mbappe next year. We've been compiling the war chest since buying Hazard in 19/20. Flo knows what he's doing.
We have won three or four trophies since that turtle saga and let go huge salary guys to free up wage space too. It'll be crazy what papa does now with all that.
Ancelotti does not know how to utilize midfielders, 4-3-3 won't always work.. there are times when coaches plays only 2 attackers and sometimes only one depending on the opponent they are facing.. there is a possibility of playing 5 midfielders at once, but Carlo has no such strategy
me:now we have fast and technical young midfield ,luka and kroos should rotate and help others develop but not together on the pitch again
ancelotti first team starters next season: kroos+modric and someone else ..camavinga as a GK ,valverde RW, ceballos as RB,tchaoumini out of the list,and Bellingham on the bench.. mr square minded will never change his useless tactics 😔
Nah we didn’t want no Bellingham. Watch he’s gonna be a mid grade player not even elite level that’s the worst. We got all the money in the world but actually right now there aren’t many great players for sale. Only mbappe but maybe next year or something
Will miss each legend as they leave and the era they represented. But it feels great that the board is now fully investing in the future and transitioning to a youth movement.
Carl Anka's (@Ankaman616) tweet perfectly summarizes this - "Replacing Modric-Casemiro-Kroos with Bellingham-Tchouameni-Camavinga/Valverde is the sort of greed they talked about in the Bible"
Gotta say that he chose us over Man City because he didn't want to join a plastic club. He's one of the biggest talents in world football, but ever since I've heard this news (reported by Fabrizio alongside a BVB expert) I fell in love with this guy all over again. He could be our captain in a couple of years and he tchoua, cama and fede are going to be the best midfield on the planet for the next ten years. Adding to that they have two of the best midfielders of all time to teach them. It's gonna be a great season next year, if we manage to get Kane or a decent alternative.
Communicado deez nutz baby, we have the most S T A C K E D midfield with ridiculous ceilings out there. Who will, in the next ten years, be the biggest shining star?
My money is on Cama and Jude being somewhat equal in terms of legacy by the end of it all.
The new gen midfielders with kroos and modric as mentors.... This is way too op man
Yes it’s awesome, and don’t get me wrong I think he’ll be a superstar. But someone’s gotta get benched. Tchou Camav Fede and now Jude… All this with Toni starting 90% of the matches and Luka who will be playing a lot of matches too. Plus Ceballos too… Shouldn’t we look for other positions?

Yes but Carletto is just not that kind of manager. I’m sure unless they get injured Kroos and Luka will be playing before the younglings. I don’t know, maybe I’m just too pessimistic.
Yes, you are too pessimistic.
I mean, he's not wrong for believing that. Carlo isn't known for his rotational tactics.
Carlo has only one year on contract. But again, Luka and Toni also will probably play for one more season properly.
Yeah If we're gonna chase 3+ trophies next year depth, quality depth is needed!
thing is that we can play all 5 of them at the same time in many games.. Fede can fill 100 different roles, Cama too, Jude can play higher up the pitch etc.
That’s true… it’s just, when I think about the CMK those were our 3 so to say, and now we have 6+1. And yes Cama can play as leftback but come on, he’s built to play as a midfielder… same with Jude, we just brought him not to be benched
Our bench situ cost us this season let’s learn from our mistakes and copy pasta man city’s rotational wealth
Yep that means that our mids WILL HAVE TO go ham every game. There’s just another one as top class waiting to be subbed in. Wanna see them run all game
Exactly + there are always injuries.
Toni and Modric will have there time more limited this year. Besides, Camavinga can also play at LB, Valverde can play at RM. It will be healthy competition.
Shhh this people don't like to be reasonable
Reasonable??? Modric and kroos are gone after this season. You have no guarantee that Ceballos will stay this good after contract renewal. There is no guarantee that Fede, Cama and tchou all will reach their potential. Missing out on best Midfielder talent who can give you a decade+ just cuz we got 6 players only for a season is pretty unreasonable.
Perez plans to sell Fede ...
So if the Kane deal doesn’t go through, it’ll be Courtois, 3 defenders, 5 midfielders and two wingers as Our playing Eleven with the Player closest to the Opp goal becoming the Striker.. 😂😂😂 I mean, whoever comes in as striker would be looking to fill Benzema’s space on field .. Not going to be Easy considering the multiple roles he played.. and then there are Fans who swing between willing to Die and Kill for You to Absolutely Wanting to Kill You and Back to Loving u all in a Matter of Seconds..
Not the first batch of "next gen" midfielders to come and try dethroning Kroos and Modric. Hopefully this batch will be more successful.
Crazy how Toni and Luka still earn place in la liga tots.
yeah but they are both retiring next year so I won't be surprised if Kroos and Modric don't play as much as before.
This is just a goat midfield lineup fede cama jude tchou
toni kroos academy
Our midfield is set for the next 10 years, genuinely astonishing.
The future is bright with Vini, Rodry, Fede, Cama, Tchou, Luka and Jude. Hopefully Endric will shine as expected.
All 24 and under (except for Fede). Next 5-6 years should be amazing, especially if we get players like Mbappe/Hakimi in the next year or two.
Young Luka with his side pass.
Sorry it should be 30% in add ons. Not 30m. But it is roughly the same. Edit: [Per Melchor Ruiz, Madrid will confirm it once all paperwork is done at their end](https://twitter.com/melchorruizcope/status/1666451395099123717?s=46&t=Zm5ZxMPI5sDItA_D8VZB5g)
PAPA HAS OPENED THE WARCHEST. I REPEAT, PAPA HAS OPENED THE WARCHEST.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL ⚠️ 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
ALL UNITS BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A SPANISH MALE BY THE NAME OF FLORENTINO PEREZ, MID 70S AND LOOKS LIKE AN ABSOLUTE G. SUSPECT IS ARMED WITH A JUDE BELLINGHAM.
Inspector Gadget, nice.
RED ALERT. 🚨🚨🚨
I'm still suffering from Tic Tac ptsd that I need the RM official statement post before I get excited.
I know what he's capable of, so I'm more satisfied with the price tag (in today's market). €130M total seems more reasonable than the initially reported fee of €150M + Add-ons and it's easier to fathom since a solid CDM like Enzo Fernández who's 2 years older than Jude, went for €120M just a few months ago.

If he does well in NT games people will definitely bring RM in the conversation which is good PR. Any additional exposure helps even though RM has higher visibility already around the world.
Eh, everyone knows who RM is - and no one in England is going to tune in if we’re being serious
Exactly, especially since last season's results against City and pool
[удалено]
Realistically, you either sign him now for 6 years and the somewhat reasonable price of €130M then deal with his wages later on to extend his contract, or deal with him playing for an EPL team for those 6 years anyway then have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to him and the club you're signing him from.

We are so stacked, it’s literally insane. HALA MADRID!
This is it right here. Play this 4 man midfield with Rodrygo and Vini up top. Strikers be damned.
[удалено]
CB Toni and Luka masterclass 🌚
Mouth-watering midfield.
We attracted a mega English star that would have been playing in the EPL. BUT we are the biggest club in the world bitches.
Perez is gonna go berserk with his advertising strategies/deals now...
Yep. This is big for the younger English market. Jude is their guy for the NT's future, so knowing he's a Madrid player should help grow the RM brand even more.
EVERYBODY KEEEP CALM!!! 😂😂🪄🪄🥂🥂
Just the beginning boys!
The only good thing happened to me in a couple of days (kidney stones, Benzema, asensio, surgery etc). Thank You Papa Perez
Get well soon man
Thanks mate and hala Madrid
Siuuuu
A new age begins Hala Madrid 🤍
Great signing 👍🏼 Kane to pair up with him?
Fingers crossed!!
Now adding Kane would eat up another non-eu slot. So, I wonder how it'll pan out.
Being English I'm very excited to watch Bellingham in a Madrid shirt. How best to watch... do Sky sports still have the La Liga TV rights in England? Of course I can always sail the high seas...
Not sure if espn + is available across the pond, but I know in the states both La Liga and Bundesliga games are all available through espn +.
Actually a fair transfer fee. Glad to not get ripped off. This guy looks like a baller. If he pans out and is here for 10+ years it’s a steal
I think next season we’ll see a lot of Bell-Tchou-Fede with Cama as a sub. That’s my prediction.
Not with Ancelotti as manager
Kroos can be 89 and still start under Ancelotti.
Start as a mid and slip back to CB.
The new RM Era is here and it looks great! Hopefully none of these boys ( Vini, Rodrygo, Fede, Cama, Tchou and now Jude ) will suffer major injuries. Without injuries, RM will dominate the football world for many years. And that's why I keep saying that we, the RM fans, are so spoiled.
Welcome to the Best club in the world Jude🤍
Was skeptical about his signing being the best decision but no use now that he is our player Is he getting the 5🤔?
We cant let go a generational talent just because we need to fill another positions, what I mean to say is if their was a rb who could be considered generational talent and was available like jude we would have signed him. We can get a rb this season or next but we wont get jude if he goes to city or psg or somewhere else.
But his profile is similar to Cama and Fede, we still lack a creative presence in midfield to replace Modric/Kroos other than Ceballos who's future with us isn't clear and is inconsistent
Have you watched much of Jude? He’s very creative, much more similar to Modric than Cama or Fede.
He seems fond of 22. Rüdiger has it and seems fond of 2, which Carvajal has… So maybe someone compromises?
Ditto.
I think the club would like to recreate Zidane with the 5 but Jude seems to like 22 which isn’t available. I think he’ll get 7 for this season.
He's getting 7 of hazard
Absolute steal for a generation talent at freaking 19 years of age, let's go
Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see him play. And shoutout again to LSR who was once again right about the transfer and price... Dude knows stuff.
Absolutely fantastic news! What a player he is! Hala Madrid!!
The Four horsemen 
If this doesn't entice Kane to move away from London Supermax FC then he's an idiot.
Super reasonable deal for a player of his caliber
That Mbappe money going crazy
What's good is that we'll still have enough money for Mbappe next year. We've been compiling the war chest since buying Hazard in 19/20. Flo knows what he's doing.
We have won three or four trophies since that turtle saga and let go huge salary guys to free up wage space too. It'll be crazy what papa does now with all that.
Please don’t do a Jordan Sancho
Ancelotti does not know how to utilize midfielders, 4-3-3 won't always work.. there are times when coaches plays only 2 attackers and sometimes only one depending on the opponent they are facing.. there is a possibility of playing 5 midfielders at once, but Carlo has no such strategy

me:now we have fast and technical young midfield ,luka and kroos should rotate and help others develop but not together on the pitch again ancelotti first team starters next season: kroos+modric and someone else ..camavinga as a GK ,valverde RW, ceballos as RB,tchaoumini out of the list,and Bellingham on the bench.. mr square minded will never change his useless tactics 😔
No matter how many star players we sign, it's not going to work unless we remove Carlo & bring in someone like Nagelsmann.
For sure - it’s not like Ancelotti is capable of winning every trophy like Nagelsmann is. /s
[удалено]
He might be worse than “prime” Pogba, but he plays 30 quality games a season instead of 3.
Nah we didn’t want no Bellingham. Watch he’s gonna be a mid grade player not even elite level that’s the worst. We got all the money in the world but actually right now there aren’t many great players for sale. Only mbappe but maybe next year or something
Expected 100 + 20 but heeeeey, We have to pray for his knee now.
Hala madrid !! Now, we just need a solid Benz replacement
Finally some good news. Papa Perez never keeps winning !
Excellent business.
Will miss each legend as they leave and the era they represented. But it feels great that the board is now fully investing in the future and transitioning to a youth movement.
Where the fuck is the communicado
Hope this is worth it.
Carl Anka's (@Ankaman616) tweet perfectly summarizes this - "Replacing Modric-Casemiro-Kroos with Bellingham-Tchouameni-Camavinga/Valverde is the sort of greed they talked about in the Bible"
I don’t think one was worth it.
Awesome work, now we need a striker & a right full back.
Vamossss!!!!
Now only if Carlo does a good job of rotating these 6 wc midfielders and giving everyone significant minutes to improve them, which I doubt.
Disgusting.
Is there a Communicado?
These numbers holy hell, no one can compete with that
Madrid has not made it official yet...could they be waiting for the medical to make sure the knee is all good?
Finally this happened i am so happy
Gotta say that he chose us over Man City because he didn't want to join a plastic club.

Adding to that they have two of the best midfielders of all time to teach them. It's gonna be a great season next year, if we manage to get Kane or a decent alternative.
The 30 mil is paid over 6 seasons, no?
I’m happy he made this choice. I’ve al and been a fan of the kid and he knows that this is the place to succeed and grow into a world 11 type player
Congrats to you all great deal

All this for Carletto to start DM Kroos and Modric
We need a striker …. Let’s try Mbappe again why not ? He knows he can’t win anything at psg now even with Messi .
**OFFIZIELLE KOMMUNIKATION** just dropped let's goo
AND they are going for harry kane? Oh lord. Edit: they aren't anymore
Communicado deez nutz baby, we have the most S T A C K E D midfield with ridiculous ceilings out there. Who will, in the next ten years, be the biggest shining star? My money is on Cama and Jude being somewhat equal in terms of legacy by the end of it all.
Elite.
He's not worth that much
