your point actually is proving the point of the other user. You compare him to KDB and that is exactly who he is, a KDB type player. we cannot play both of them in the same team. Bellingham is a 10 and never was a 8 who can control a game. we need a kovacic or mcallister type midfielder as the gundo replacement more than we need bellingham.I wouldn't agree with that at all. He played in a midfield with Rice and Henderson for the majority of the WC and last night had Rice and Phillips. His job isn't a defensive one. He's there to receive the ball in more attacking space. For Dortmund he's always looking to find little pockets and on the turn can then make things happen, it's a major strength to his game. He's strong and long limbed so even if his touch is bad he often still keeps the ball and then is running at the opposition. With Haaland ahead of him he'll be much more dangerous than with someone like Kane who is often looking to be in that space as well.
We've played Dortmund a few times and Bellingham has been their best player in almost all of those games. He's been an attacking threat and he's also been at the back putting in tackles and defending.
He's much more likely to move into space to score or provide an assist than be the one controlling the tempo of a game, but I still believe he can be moulded into whatever we specifically need. It's much easier to learn to keep the ball and find others in space than it is to learn to turn and spin past players before carrying the ball and creating a chance.
It's a bit like Kev's form recently. Pep just reminded him to do the simple things first, and funnily enough he did and then the through balls and assists came again.
I had a conversation about this years ago. City fans & attendance stats had City pegged as a big club. But most fans I came across had us on level pegging with Everton, Norwich & Coventry City.Kids born in any era have grown up with City as a "big club" kids born in the last 15 years have grown up with City as a colossal club
what is this bullshit with the numbers. Players have squad numbers now, so it cant be where they play on the pitch.your point actually is proving the point of the other user.

Didn't Haaland & Gomez sign because they grew up as City fansHistory has no sway with a player playing today. Why should it, they get nothing from a clubs History only their future.
Listen to this from around 35 mins in. This prick refuses to even believe we are in for him because of Liverpool and Madrids history.

It's why the Rags always derided us when we spoke about ourselves in the same breath as them. They saw us as deluded jokers. This is why our rise hurts the Rags, Dippers & L'Arse fans so much.
My season ticket Spurs family in London somehow believe they're also historically a bigger club than City, & we're only ahead of them now because we're FFP cheats... :-/
Yaya my all time City favorite, but settle down...That’s an insult to Yaya
To be fair to my country cousins in North London, they've all but given up hope on Spurs.Bet your family gatherings are a hoot mate ;-).
No. Alfie Haaland said they created a points system with us and Madrid and we came out on topDidn't Haaland & Gomez sign because they grew up as City fans

Looks like you were always picked as a 12 at school! ;)what is this bullshit with the numbers. Players have squad numbers now, so it cant be where they play on the pitch.
Bellingham is a 10 ? box to box. But King Colin wore 8. So who dreamt up this unfathomable nonsense. Was Aguero box to box, or did he wear the wrong shirt?
This was a conversation with fans from various clubs back in the 90s. It's the first time I'd ever considered how other fans saw us & it was sobering.Fans you came across had Everton and City as level pegging with Norwich and Coventry. Norwich and fucking Coventry.
Which nut house we're you working at?
