Yeah,i see that comparison.
A creator with the ability to destroy.....few exist.
Gives a nice option to move to a double pivot as well, and just sit Kev in the free role #10 as he gets olderI likened him to Robson last week?
He will never be a creator in the Dave or Kev sense.
Jude is more direct in his play and drives teams forward with his engine and desire.
It's great planning by us for also the day Kev drops off, as Grealish or Phil will move inside and Rodders and Jude will make up the three.

Yeah, he covers alot of boxes. Pep could make him a 6/8 or 10 quite easily I think.Which Phillips can also rotate in!
Or a right back (KA, I mean).Yeah, he covers alot of boxes. Pep could make him a 6/8 or 10 quite easily I think.
City told Dortmund they are on the clock, hence why we moved early last month, as we didn't want to find ourselves in a case of brinkmanship next summer.
The hard yards have already been done, he wants to come, Dortmund know we want the figure boxed off.
Anyone who saw the 19 year old Yaya in the pre season friendly v Olympiacos could see the potential for greatness.Great stuff and even better to know Jude wants it!
He probably gets more involved defensively, but his size and box to box mobility remind me of Yaya.Jude is more direct in his play and drives teams forward with his engine and desire.
Thats a confident tone :)He will certainly be the hybrid we needed Gundo to be, but injuries took his top-level away.
Bellingham has the energy to get about the middle of the pitch, the desired levels of aggression, added to an ability to break into the box.
I'm very excited about his arrival. He is more Fernandinho from his Shakhtar days right now.
You were dead right with the Robson comparison. He really reminds me of Robson in his pomp. Such energy and dynamism.He will certainly be the hybrid we needed Gundo to be, but injuries took his top-level away.

Christ, I hope he doesn’t go round kicking everyone then screaming like a kid to the ref when someone kicks him back, …..he was a great player but he was a f’in mardarse!, another one who got away with diving into tackles without getting sent off because of the shirt on his back…….hopefully IF Jude does come here, he will be Robsons good bits and Fernandinho in his pomp, that would be some playerYou were dead right with the Robson comparison.

Anything in the rumours which have surfaced today that will could get him in January?Bellingham has a deal at Dortmund until 2025.
Dortmund CEO Watzke wanting an answer after the World Cup, "He just needs to tell us if he'd like to stay or go. If he says, 'I'd like to do something else', then the really big clubs in Europe will be there and we can't afford to fight financially."
Very rare for Dortmund to reveal their hand, with three years left on his deal. They clearly know the answers and figures already and thrown it all on Jude.
Better drinkerMuch as I hated the sicknote, he was a top player.
Up there with the biggest piss heads.Better drinker
Robson, Whiteside and McGrath were the biggest piss artists in football - an unholy trinity. McGrath played when he was rat-arsed, apparentlyUp there with the biggest piss heads.
