but do you track back ?I can stand there and defend, they’ll be no bombing forward.
You can expect some Ben Thatcher style ‘challenges’ though
Don’t you have to go forward to track back?but do you track back ?
Fuck that!
Ake can't put in a cross, nor can Lewis, nor can stones, Laporte, Dias or Akanji.Apart from the goal that got us into the5 th round of the cup ?

Bellingham isn't supposed to be a replacement for KDB though. If he was doing what he is good at and putting up numbers like KDB he would be the greatest player in the world.I'm in a minority and could well be very wrong but I think Bellingham is overhyped.
Looks a decent player but that's it. I haven't seen any KDB at Wolfsburg level of skill.
Bellingham is going to be in the engine room of the midfield, his stats are going to be more aligned with Rodri than Kev,

Fair.Age? Bellingham can still develop
Maddison is a perfect age IMO. 23-27 means your first contract with the player ties them down for their peak years.
Sign someone at 20 and they could be on a year or 2 left at 23/24 and leave before their peak. Players can continue to improve until they decline so Maddison could definitely still improve.
Maddison is technically superior to Bellingham IMO, less rounded though.

Yep and very much that link between defence and attack.He will provide the legs that the centre of our park is currently missing.

And he's got 10 goals in 23 games for Dortmund this season. More of a gundo/bernardo replacement with a goal threat.
