      Been a fan of Madrid for amost 25 years and learning this fact made me really love him right away. I hope he brings us a couple CL and Laligas in his 10-15 years. Or even better maybe he learns the secrets from Modric and stays healthy and just magical till 38, playing for us for 18 years! Wouldn't that be increadible?!

    As a Dortmund fan I can only confirm how good he actually is. Especially this season he was by far our most consistent player and that at the age of 19! I watched about 95% of our games this season and I swear he never had a performance worse than 7/10. Just always reliable and a true leader at such a young age. Deservedly so he got to wear the captains armband in a few games when Reus and Hummels didn’t play. There have been so many 80+ million transfers in the past few years and in many cases like Felix, Pogba, Mudryk or Griezmann you could already tell before that they’re not gonna be worth that much money. But with Jude Bellingham I think it’s justified and I believe he’s gonna live up to the expectation.

Sure they have Irish ancestry to some extent and yes, the way Grealish and especially Rice shafted us did leave a very bitter taste but as far as I'm concerned, they're English. We need to do better at developing IRISH players. We've been shite at that for the good part of a decade now
      We used to have the likes of Paul Mcgrath, Roy Keane, Liam Brady, Dennis Irwin, Ronnie Whealan, etc. Now our most exciting player at the moment is Evan Ferguson who's a teenager playing for Brighton and although he looks class and has a lot of potential, you can see how far we've fallen off
      Even if you go back to the late Naughties when we were weren't very good, we still had the likes of Robbie Keane, Shay Given, Richard Dunne, Damien Duff, John O'Shea and Steve Finnan who were all playing in the Premier League for some very well established and even successful English clubs. Even during the 2010's we had the likes of Seamus Coleman and Shane Long playing consistent football in the Premier League
      We should sort out our own problems with the lack of world class talent in Ireland before trying to pry away talent from England

      @@fivestarman5130 i honestly think it’s because nothing draws young talent to us anymore, if someone has a two eligibilities such as ireland and england they’re always going to choose england because right now the prestige of that squad is atmospheric compared to ours and it’s because our most notable name is bazunu. You look back at even the early 10’s with robbie there was at least something to get players but now it’s completely non existent. Personally i think the next wave of irish talent is gonna come from england born players who have very irish roots, like the irish community in london alone is booming and i’m a product with it and it’s even extending into gaelic for an extent which i was apart of, we’re never going to have a great home growth scheme since we’re too small but luckily we spread like the plague but we just need to make use of that and ACTUALLY look for talent abroad where there’s statistically more irish people thsn there is in ireland

    Having watched his development for the last few years, I always had a feeling he'd be special; but watching his performance at the WC was completely insane. The closest thing I can equate it to was when I saw Mesut Özil play for the German WC side prior to his move to Real Madrid from Werder. He was everywhere. Every time you looked around, there was this kid finding a pass, juking a defender, tracking back to help out. You just felt that this kid was going to be THE guy...

What I would like to see is a video of Musiala's current and potential impact on the Bayern team in the years to follow.
