Jude Bellingham | Signed for Madrid

[RedSky]

Quality today so far. By far the most dangerous player for England.

 

[Moby]

Rubbish v USA . Had a good game v Iran , let's see how he goes in other games . Imo Southgate will play Phillips if he's ready.

That ended well.

 

[Ali Dia]

Like a new Gerard or Lampard. He’ll be a star player wherever he ends up. He’s probably not what we need but he’s a big game player. At his age that’s special. Imagine we’d got him and Haaland when they were going cheap. It’s a pity we didn’t have a stronger manager to really push harder for them.

 

[Zoo]

Not sure about the need to compare him Bruno but whatever.

 

[DWelbz19]

He’s been great — on the counter. This is the type of player I imagined he was, a physical monster who can carry the ball in transition and make the right pass

 

[Resonance]

Pay whatever it costs, we can’t let him go to one of our rivals.

 

[Spark]

Painfully good. If he goes to City or the scouse it’ll be so depressing.

 

[El Zoido]

He’s so good. What’s his ceiling? Only 19 now, plays like a veteran.

 

[I’m loving my life]

He’ll be the Saudi/Qataris first signing for Liverpool, followed by Mbappe

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Not sure about the need to compare him Bruno but whatever.

Because they both would play the same position for us? Which… I mean this is the Bellingham transfer thread

 

[VivaJesperBlomqvist]

He’s a phenomenon

 

[LARulz]

We need to blow whatever budget we have on him

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Real Madrid is going to have an insane midfield next season.

 

[Josh 76]

He’s so good. What’s his ceiling? Only 19 now, plays like a veteran.

Players who peak at 19 don’t usually have the 15 years at the top as many predict.

150m?? Hope scousers get him for that.

 

[#07]

Looked like he was about ready to get a room with Henderson. No doubt Liverpool will be his first choice if he comes back to England.

I've said elsewhere on this site that I think, ultimately, he'll become something like the best version of Wijnaldum. You can see why Klopp would like him.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Not sure where he will end up but he's special

£100+ million player.

 

[diarm]

Like a new Gerard or Lampard. He’ll be a star player wherever he ends up. He’s probably not what we need but he’s a big game player. At his age that’s special. Imagine we’d got him and Haaland when they were going cheap. It’s a pity we didn’t have a stronger manager to really push harder for them.

He’s better than either. He can be Keane or Vieira level for me.

 

[In Rainbows]

I have no reason to believe he's peaked.

 

[SilentStrike]

He’s the real deal. 19 only.
Will be the best b2b midfielder in the world pretty soon

reminds me of a young Lothar Matthaus

 

[2 man midfield]

He’s good but I’m not seeing the level of hype some throw about.

 

[footballbite]

As much as I'd be wary of Utd signing another player from Dortmund, I will at the very least say that he's played better for England at this tournament than I'd ever seen Sancho do at international level before he joined.

 

[Yorkeontop]

He's physically gifted, unlike the other players United has bought from Dortmund recently.

 

[Rockets Redglare]

He’s good but I’m not seeing the level of hype some throw about.

He’s 19 and he’s England’s best player. I think the hype is deserved.

 

[Remember the geese]

He’s better than either. He can be Keane or Vieira level for me.

Is he feck!

 

[Drizzle]

He’ll be the Saudi/Qataris first signing for Liverpool, followed by Mbappe

Joking aside I can see it happening.

 

[Josh 76]

Sancho was man of the match in Rome at the Euros last year. (Against Ukraine)

 

[SamVimes]

He’s better than either. He can be Keane or Vieira level for me.

Are you mad.

 

[red thru&thru]

Bring in that oil money quick if we're to have a chance of getting him in the summer.

 

[Loon]

He’s probably being tapped up by Madrid. In fact, I can see the ref in this game chatting with him about the weather in Spain.

 

[Josh 76]

He’s the real deal. 19 only.
Will be the best b2b midfielder in the world pretty soon

reminds me of a young Lothar Matthaus

The b2b midfielder days are gone. No many mangers will play that.

 

[diarm]

Are you mad.

Is he feck!

He will be by the time he retires. Lampard was a great attacking midfielder but Bellingham has more strings to his bow.

Gerrard a great highlights man, but not a central midfielder of the same calibre of Keane or Vieira. I think Bellingham can be.

 

[I’m loving my life]

Southgate should be testing some options out for France now

That's all crystal ball stuff. He would do very well to reach the heights of Lampard or Gerrard. He looks a good young player, but not all that special.

 

[Adnan]

He’s been great — on the counter. This is the type of player I imagined he was, a physical monster who can carry the ball in transition and make the right pass

I think this is a spot on assessment.

He's best utilised in transition where his physical and ball carrying abilities are more pronounced higher up the pitch. He's not a midfielder who I feel has the attributes to play in a deeper role.

 

[Anderson_7_]

For some reason, I can't imagine him going to Real Madrid right now. I think he'll go to City or Liverpool. probably the latter. I hope I'm wrong, though!

 

[diarm]

That's all crystal ball stuff. He would do very well to reach the heights of Lampard or Gerrard. He looks a good young player, but not all that special.

Nah the kid has been obviously special for a long time. I was saying the same after the Dortmund City game a year or two ago when he dominated.

He has a level of courage, maturity and intelligence in midfield that very few ever reach.

Before he came along, I though the days of his type of midfielder were gone in an age of systems and over coaching.

 

[glazed]

He reminds me of Pogba. He has fantastic technique, excellent passing and can make driving runs, but for whatever reason he can go missing for periods of the game. It is probably due to his age. I think he would benefit playing at Dortmund for another season.

Pogba has a bad personality for a world class footballer - very self absorbed. Bellingham seems more of a team player.

Nowhere near as talented as Pogba.

 

[Righteous Steps]

Gerrard a great highlights man, but not a central midfielder of the same calibre of Keane or Vieira. I think Bellingham can be.

Bellingham is pretty much the same, sometimes I feel like people don’t remember the players they’re talking about, you don’t ever see Bellingham controlling midfields either, his qualities that stand out is his powerful running, dribbling and ability to score goals.

Bellingham isn’t the type of central midfielder Keane or Viera were, he’s much closer to Gerrard Lampard and De Bruyne.

He is also 19. At that age Keane was had only just signed for Forrest. He’s also shown plenty of ability to win the ball back etc…

That’s not to say he will hit that level, it’s a crazily high level and, but he’s got the ability if everything goes right and he avoids injury.
