Point still stands
I get your point but I think this isn't a typical - doing what your parents tell you - situation. The fact that his Dad is his agent can/may influence him more especially when his Dad has been guiding him into what he feels is best for his career. The second thing is that he may actually want to come to Liverpool himself.
 
When I was 19, absolutely I still listened to my parents... Of course when I was 19 I wasn't making enough money to be fully independent, but even today, I still listen to their advice even if half the time I think they're wrong.

That bits fair enough. Personally, is speak to my parents and look for guidance but they wouldn't influence me that much, I'd make my own decision. Don't think his Dad being his agent makes that much difference in where he chooses, could help since it won't be a typical agent pushing for big money though

That's the thing with being parents of adult children, the advice doesn't stop, it just involves different areas. I'm rarely asked for my advice but I give it anyway and don't worry whether or not it's acted upon. Like giving a gift, I've done my part in the giving how it's received is out of my control.

I don't think doing as you're told comes into it. It's a decision to be discussed.

But his parents being Liverpool fans won't form any part of the decision process. Jude would be crazy to join for that reason, he needs to do what's best for him, not his parents.

His Mum supports Liverpool and I don't think he would use that alone as a reason to come here neither could I see her advising him based on who she supports. Lots of players who actually support Liverpool themselves, turn Liverpool down, Aguero being one.

The one thing that Jude will get with us compared to any other team will be time. Klopp will not write him off quickly. For example Pep seems to write players off and get rid of them quicker than Klopp.
Grealish is a prime example for me. He’s not a definite for starter and I don’t see him staying for much longer.

I think Bellingham and his family may see that as more important than money. Longevity is key for footballers.
 
Mito's head would explode if it actually happened.

It's never happening.

do you have 100,000,000 (or more) to give to FSG and 500k per week to given the lad on an ongoing basis?

Cos lets be clear. like it or not thats the going rate. Dortmund have no release clause, so hurdle one is to match the fees other clubs can and will offer.

Hurdle two will be to pay the lad what those other clubs will and not offer half to rely on this supposed love of LFC.
 
True. Just hope he hasn't put any money on him going to Chelsea. They aren't even in the running ...... allegedly.

"Give your head a wobble" quote direct from tobes that.

Since when did what the internet made up ever count when the actual transfer comes round? Cheslea will be in the queue cos ego demands it.
