Jude Bellingham

I think regarding his achievements people are (well I am) more questioning whether he warranted them (the voted for awards) and how big/influential a role he played (in a football sense) in the team won ones.

There's no doubting that the lad has certain footballing talents and attributes, but it just feels like a global marketing exercise that he's been swept up in, everybody vote now and the "Britain's got Talent"-winner gets the Christmas number 1! Feels like he's being wrung out as quickly as possible for all the money anybody (and their dogs) can make off him and unfortunately either the kid's happy with this or he can't see it for what it is. Whichever, it appears that he now thinks he's fucking Elvis when he's actually the tall one out of Liberty-X.

Nah, he's the guy that works down the chippy.

There's an article on him today on the home page of the BBC that is frankly ludicrous. It's not sports journalism and it's not even feature writing, it reads like a paid for promotional piece. If it carries on, he'll go the way of Beckham moving beyond football to just being a highly successful but utterly vacuous celebrity seemingly fueled only by avarice and narcissism. Alternatively he could try concentrating on becoming a more complete footballer to justify the hype, but sadly I'm not holding my breath on that.

I read that same article and I honestly thought, at first anyway, that they were taking the piss! It's vomit inducing.
 
He could have another stinker tomorrow night and I guarantee it won’t be mentioned by any of the MSM.
He will be way down the list of players to blame.

You keep saying people are bitter but if you don’t see he’s getting press that far outweighs his performances so far then I imagine it doesn’t take much for you to get wondrous feelings on a daily basis.

How is the press he is receiving down to the player himself? Contrary to what some might think, Bellingham won't be paying a PR company to blow smoke up his arse on a regular. It's a simple enough formula; he's young, he's handsome, he's a brilliant footballer, he plays for a prestigious European club, he's marketable. He was always going to be a goldmine for the media.

I want England to win, we stand a better chance of us winning without Bellingham.

Disagree. He's a proven match winner with Madrid and England. Phil is a match winner, as is Saka, and we're going to need as many match winners as possible on the pitch tomorrow given our opposition will dominate the ball. We looked cohesive and fluid against the Netherlands, Bellingham was a part of that.

You forgot to say he doesn't play for City and his name is not Phil Foden.

The lads setting himself up for a big fall. Madrid teams evolve and move on quite quickly. His last 5 months performances will not be tolerated going forward and his manager will not be frightened to drop him. He needs to learn to release the ball earlier rather than try to win games on his own.

I foresee a difficult season ahead at Madrid and possibly a big money move back to a club in the UK where I think he will mirror the Pogba model of one good game in six.

With Mbappé arriving, he certainly won’t be the centre of attention, as he was last season.

And, of course, he won’t be playing as a false nine, either.

He will have to buckle down, and learn to work in midfield.

And if he doesn’t, Carlo will have no hesitation in dropping him.

What did he contribute to the victory?

Yes, he did one piece of exquisite skill, but apart from that, very little.
