I wonder how many clubs are sniffing around already!
Jobe Bellingham | Sunderland | will he be better than his brother Jude?
- Thread starter golden_blunder
- Start date
I think he'll do a good jobe wherever he goes
Jobe?! What a s.... name 
Be interesting to find out his Story.
We need to sign the next Bellingham
Let's just sign the father up and put him out to stud so we can have a entire generation of Bellinghams
Unlikely
Looks pretty good. Big strong and quick and has pretty quick feet.
Allegedly Real Madrid have been scouting him on u-19 England duty
When people finish singing happy birthday to him, they say "Time to blow, Jobe".
Can't see Bellingham going to Real Madrid.
Very likely not. It's normally the case that the younger brother ends up alright but not as good
Sarina Williams says hi
She isn't a dude
He wasn't anything special last season, he's supposedly very talented so will be interesting to see how he gets on.
Haha oh yeh!
I don't care for Jobe.
Bobby Charlton says hello.
Carrington stud farm: your short sighted club signs players, we sign their dads.
Day ticket: £20
Season Ticket: £100
Conjugal visit: Ask at reception for availability
Normally the case. Unless Bobby Charlton and a woman tennis player are the monolith which define all sibling footballers.
I got my money on Jake.
'Normally the case'. Do you know every example of siblings in sport?
It's an interesting thought.
Here's some where older was better:
Eden was better than his 3 brothers.
Gary was better than Phil Neville.
Eric was better than Joel Cantona
Rio better than Anton Ferdinand.
Michael better than Brian Laudrup
Here are some where younger was better than older:
John Terry better than Paul Terry
Yaya better than Kolo Toure
Ronald better than Erwin Koeman
Ray better than Graham Wilkins
Paul Pogba better than his older brother whose name I don't know.
To summarize, I don't think it makes a difference, I can see downsides and benefits to both.
Normally the younger brother have better conditions because they are competing against older siblings.
One of my kids has a definitive reference book on this - "Football School - Where Football Explains the World" - and apparently the answer is that pro footballers are slightly more likely to be younger siblings.
In top level football, yes.
Some more older brothers being better: Diego Milito, Benteke, Kroos, Ayew, Lukaku, Thiago, Abraham, Khedira, Aubameyang, Batshuayi, Sneijder, Lovren, Gotze, Lloris, Insigne, Milinkovic-Savic, Varane, Evans.
Some more younger being better: Boateng, Alonso, Cannavaro, Donnarumma, Martial, Xhaka, Mac Allister, Amrabat, McGinn.
But what about where both are professional? I win.
Where do the DeBoer twins sit on the scales?
Disgusting comment
It was a joke
Disgusting joke, then.
Fair enough I’ve deleted it
I just need to say this…
Neville Neville
what a name
Neville Neville
what a name
Forgetting that Jude is his brother and treating Jobe as a player in his own right, I think he’ll end up a premier league player next season unless he goes abroad.
I think he’s far too talented for the championship. Wouldn’t be surprised if they try to sniff a Dortmund move though.

What's with all the biblical names? They're gifts from God?
It's not whether a player is older or younger, but that an already incredibly talented player is surpassed by another sibling. It's more hindsight, but that's because you only notice the sibling once the talented player comes along. In the case of Jude, he's that player so it's very unlikely his younger brother surpasses him. Same with Hazard. In the case of Pogba, nobody cared about the siblings until the actual talented one came through.
Hazards brother was getting minutes in a Belgium team that had a lot of talent imo.
Andy Cole was already long established before his brothers Ashley and Joe took the premier league by storm.
And also let’s not forget Ronaldo ended up being greater than Ronaldo.
