My personal opinion is that Bellingham is a bit overrated. Good all action type midfielder but technically Camavinga has always been on another level. Better long range passing, close control and running with the ball. Just my opinion from watching the two.
Nah Bellingham is a better dribbler see some of the goals he’s scored this season for reference, close control I would give to Bellingham also, Camavinga is better defensively and maybe more athletic.

I've seen plenty of both. Camavinga and Pedri are technically the two standouts in midfield of the upcoming generation for me.

Imagine if he came to us in the summer. Would have fitted in perfectly. Such a shame.

Crazy pace.

His stride is a meter long
And he's vigilant when he runs; not just mindless. Eats up the pitch before he's even hitting top speeds and closes people down in a deceptive way because they don't register how wide his stride is and how quickly he's covering ground because of it.

What's also great is his pace is a bonus and nothing he relies on. His athleticism is genuinely track and field stuff.

I would agree. Camavinga has GOATish level talent ... I don't see the same with Bellingham.
Agree with this you can just tell straight away you’re watching something special.

I don’t think I’ve seen Bellingham impact a game of this magnitude as Camavinga has done in basically every CL KO game this season. Think there’s a level between them. Pedri’s on that same level as Camavinga too

Some fans say he is a mixture of Fernando Redondo and Clarence Seedorf, and while the bar is very high and the lad is still very young, I can see where they are coming from.

Might be because Ancelotti knows how to use him effectively

Why don’t you get carried away.
He does. He looks very special technically, physically, mentally - all at such a tender age. Looks so fluid with the ball, he is clearly a generational talent. Bellingham looks more of a 'world class' level talent but less likely to be someone who redefines the midfield position or an intragenerational talent. He is also a very good talent mind you, just Camavinga looks levels.

They are not wrong. If you've watched him since his senior football debut. Description is apt. Not exaggeration. Its frightening what he will possiby be at full potential

Beccause Bellingham plays for Dortmund as opposed to Madrid.

I find peoples way of judging players strange, Bellingham basically gets judged unfairly in this comparison cause he plays for a lesser team when he actually scored against the same team and had a goal disallowed in fixtures last year.


It’s just a lazy way of judging players, Camavinga didn’t even start this game his impact has came off the bench in nearly every Cl game this season.

I think Bellingham would look pretty nice next to Camavinga, so why not both :D

So is Bellingham, have you seen Camavinga score a goal like this? What Camavinga has in defensive solidity he doesn’t have in attacking quality which Bellingham does, they are both top talents, it’s just Camavinga gets to shine on a brighter stage because the club he is at, but Bellingham has also scored against City and had great performances and scored against Bayern too, it’s not his fault he plays for Dortmund as opposed to Madrid and doesn’t get to show his immense quality in a Cl semi final for example.

Yea Bellingham was great in both matches last season and made Dortmund look like the better side at times against City.

Bellingham is special technically physically and mentally also, Jude is better going forward Camavinga is better defensively there is nothing between them.

He’s a demon in matches like this with his ball progression. I love a central midfielder like this who can carry the ball. And he backs it up with insane pressures and tackling stats. Awesome profile of player
The thing that jumps out watching him play is actually his passing. Very intelligent, always quick, almost always perfectly weighted, and fast

The Redondo comparison is honestly pretty apt, at least visually and in the way they move and the way they touch the ball

Also yes, we definitely should get Bellingham too :D Camavinga-Bellingham-Caqueret please! Overrun everything :drool:

He looks sensational. Sad to watch. Defensively incredible and on the ball silky. Great passing masterclass tonight against another top team.

Well I was right on wanting him to join us, sigh.

We would have ruined him anyway.

Hope he starts in midfield vs scousers. I'd drop kroos and go with:
camavinga casemiro modric

Between him and Valverde Madrid have an unreal future midfield, technique intelligence work rate and heart.

I think after LW and RCB, #10 might be the 3rd least valuable position around. A midfield with Camavinga or Pedri as the 8/2nd most attacking mid in a trio is a much better foundation than a midfield with Bellingham as the #10/most attacking type to start with.

Might make a thread on the position thing, kinda interesting. In baseball for example, I think first baseman have less value when they're great because teams can easily find a good hitter who can handle the fielding demands. Similarly, way more teams have a RW problem (Leicester, Madrid and United come to mind) than an LW one because a fast right-footed winger is easier to find than a left-footed one and everyone uses inverted ones now.

The kid is going to be something special isn't he? You could almost see Citeh's midfielders shaking their head in disbelief each time he zoomed past with that deceptive pace. One that got away definitely...

Doesnt matter anyway because we were only ever going to be a fallback if Madrid didn’t materialise. He’s a Madrid fan.
I don’t think the point is which team he supports or that we would have gotten him for sure

It matters because it speaks for the judgement of people in managerial/coaching positions at United - at the time at least. Hopefully things are have improved moving forward. and this isn’t a hindsight thing because plenty of people were clamouring for Camavinga back then - easily verifiable by looking at his threads here.

It does show you that the midfield was never a priority under Ole and they thought what they had is good enough.

Just goes to show we need to get rid of the dinosaurs at the club, we've turned our noses up at Thiago, Kroos and Camavinga (not the he'd have chosen us) whilst our midfield has been an embarrassment for about 15 years.

At this point I'm not sure if I want him to start against Liverpool in the final. He has been doing great whenever he comes and changes completely the flow of the game. Maybe Ancelotti sees him as some sort of talisman and is superstitious but with the results we've had I can't complain.

Laughable the likes of Camavinga, Grealish for exmple and all the talk is they probal woldnt start for us when the truth was always within a short period of time they would walk into our side......and in hingsight the general consensus is "we would have ruined them anyway" as a caveat
