Bloody hell he’s only just turned 17 too, what this deal has done has put up values of similar aged proteges at clubs. Game has gone mad.

Maddison was sold in the Championship and didn't go for £30mMaddison would have gone for 30 mil
Lol
played a few times for Brum, now going to Borussia Dortmund for a reported £23m. How much would players we've sold in the last few years have gone for if we'd been in the Championship? Most on here always reckon we undersell, so maybe some of them are right.
Or, we kept hold of Wilson and Maddison in an attempt to sell them in the Championship and folded because our outgoings dwarfed our incomings.Well we'd have got roughly what norwich sold maddison for, and callum Wilson would have demanded a much larger fee. Probably missed out on a good 15 - 25 million
It's not just about being in the championship, they have to play well there too. For every Maddison and Wilson there is a Stevenson, Harries and Thomas who've never progressed.played a few times for Brum, now going to Borussia Dortmund for a reported £23m.

Been a decade since we sold WilsonNo way would Joy let us fold at the moment.
Been a decade since we sold Wilson
There are scouts at our academy games all the time looking for the gem player who can be sold on, there is a transfer network even at under 16 level. Behind the glamour it’s a harsh world and top clubs paying 50/100 grand for a young hopeful is chicken feed but 23million is mind boggling.Not really Bellingham is unique, the £20 million rising to £30 million will be a drop in the ocean when he’s sold for x3 that amount further down the line.
The support base round him is unbelievable and injury preventing this lad will have one of helluva career both at club and internationally.
Keep an eye out for his younger brother Jobe who’s 15.
Didn't realise decades were measured in six year intervalsBeen a decade since we sold Wilson
Feels like a lot longer than thatDidn't realise decades were measured in six year intervals

This has seriously blown my mind a little bit. Ricoh return, Presley losing it, Reda's piss, having all those shit Bournemouth loans, Mowbray keeping us up, Maddison coming though, Armstrong, Kent and Murphy, Armstrong being sold, running away with the league, wheels falling right off, Fortunè, Mowbray trying to sign Championship players and ending up with Dre Wright, not winning in. 10, Mowbray resining, Venus the saviour, Slade the saviour, Robins return, Chacktrade final, League two relegation, FGR games, Doyle being back, Notts County away and Wembley promotion, Sacking off Grimmer and co for new players, Birmingham move, Dabo, Walsh, Marosi and winning the fucking league.Feels like a lot longer than that

obviously not in date order? Armstrong was never ours to sell eitherThis has seriously blown my mind a little bit.

4get about that m8... Do a thread about us signing Jude.Maddison would have gone for 30 mil
Lol
His dad was one hell of a goalscorer in nonleague & is a copper-good genes & should keep him on the straight & narrow! His dad always plays down his own ability as just being a goal-hanger, but he's one who I would have loved to see play in the league. Just a natural goalscorer. Good article: 700-up! Legendary striker Mark Bellingham on reaching the amazing milestoneNot really Bellingham is unique, the £20 million rising to £30 million will be a drop in the ocean when he’s sold for x3 that amount further down the line.

I think we'd have commanded a much higher fee for someone like Maddison for example. But Jude Bellingham is unique in that he's 17, intelligent beyond his years (in footballing terms), physically developed in a way I will never reach even as someone 11 years his senior. He's only going to get bigger, stronger and faster.
He's in a different category to people like Tom Bayliss.
Agreed on Bellingham being unique. He’s ran riot for a season in the Championship at the age of 16 and only just turned 17. The fact he’s got at least two enormous clubs bidding for him too increases his value.
When we sold Bayliss, Maddison, Wilson and McCallum, none were proven beyond League 1 and in their early 20s. Bellingham has been one of the best players in the Championship at 16/17. It’s not like for like to compare our transfer fees for Bellingham’s.
From what I’ve seen of him, Bellingham will go on to have a fantastic career and I think he has made the right footballing choice in Borussia Dortmund.
If I was him though, I would have stayed at Blues for the Roost alone!
I wouldn't say he was really poor. You could clearly see his potential without him dominating the game.I’ve only seen Bellingham play against us but he was really poor. Maybe he just didn’t fancy it against lower league opposition but certainly didn’t stand out.

Mowbray trying to sign Championship players and ending up with Dre Wright,
My favourite Dre tune actually comes from his spell in obscurity between NWA and Eminem, when people did in a very real sense forget about Dre. If I'm honest, I wouldn't have known about it either had it not soundtracked a bloody awesome American Dad scene just perfectly:I forgot about Dre
