Jude Bellingham

[KentBlue]

It's needs coaching correctly and hopefully maturity will enable him to become the player he currently thinks he is.

This is what I thought, but a succession of managers/coaches, friends and hangers-on have instilled in the man a sense of superiority because he's a pretty good player. He is not the greatest player to have ever lived, not by a long way, but he's pretty good. However, his unjustified sense of supreme self-confidence tells him he is the best, and his colleagues and friends neither say or do anything to dispel the myth.

If he is still at a top club this time next year I will be very surprised. I see him going down the slippery slope at an alarming speed for a man in his 20's. If he doesn't buck his ideas up he'll be one of those 'if only' players we all know about. But manager's nowadays are seemingly disposable and therefor scared to lay down the law.

Now if Cloughie had had him there all those years ago...

Main Character Syndrome in it's worst untreated form.

He doesnt just need a slap, he needs a fucking good slap!!

The last time I saw a face like that was on a 3 year old in the Supermarket when his mum told him he couldn't have what he wanted

 

[Blumooniac]

Thick, egotistical tw*t.

 

[VOOMER]

He is the player to take over from Kane.

May I join the queue please? I’m not of a violent disposition but I could make an exception for him!!! ;-)

You most certainly can me old tater cake.

I know writing an email to the itv interactive help teams email address about commentary in a football game isn't going reach the people you want it to

Perhaps you have an alternative email addess for ITV complaints? It would be helpful if that one is wrong.

He is the player to take over from Kane.

In fairness to "King Harry", he has served his dues, on loan to several lower clubs.
He has consistently scored for both club and country.
Both Southgate & Tuchel have appointed him captain.
Yes, he has often won dubious free kicks/penalties.
But, he is fairly low key, not like the preening, self-centred diva, that is Bellingham...

also one of the greatest strikers in football of all time.

My biggest issue with Kane is that he is fairly dirty the way he undercuts defenders while they are in the air. Plus he played for Tottenham, which is enough.

i would not pick him, he is not Maradona , a very good player but not the best player ever seen as he think he is.
The reason England hasnt won anything since 1966 is because they have had to many ego´s this guy is the worst of the lot.
He would be a problem if not picked in the starting lineup or supped . I would leave him at home were he cant make a damage to the harmony of the squat.

I'm with you. Its not like we need him. We played better without him. Addition by subtraction. We played as a team without the ego when he was injured.
I'm glad Tuchel is in charge because he's shown he's the type of coach/manager who isnt afraid to drop egos and piss off the press in order to achieve his goal. Team comes first. It usually ends in tears cos the owner isnt getting his prize possession on the pitch but this is international football.

I'm no Kane lover, but bellingham isn't fit to lace his boots. Kane has consistently done the business wherever he's played. The things I don't much like about him are at least (mostly) football related, like leaving a foot in, falling over at the slightest touch, being a bit of a whingeing twat etc etc.

With bellingham it's often not football related, and if he put more effort into being the best he can be, and not the big I am, he'd get a lot more respect. From a football point of view he's clearly talented, and he needs to channel that better, but from an attitude/character point of view, it's hard to think of anyone worse (though there is another at the same club who is equally bad). Maybe he just needs to grow up a bit, but I'm not going to hold my breath he will.

Had he played under Pep, he'd have either grown into something more humble, or been fucked off very quickly, luckily for us, he hasn't and never will.

Another potential Dele Alli

I think he can play the false 9, after all, he's already playing the false 10.

You have recently started posting screenshots of articles and links to articles about him even when nobody else had even noticed he’d done owt, just to make a point of getting people talking about him. He appears to be your obsession, or winding up Blues does.

The fact that you either can’t tell that Bellingham is a ****, can’t understand why we don’t like a player who’s been a **** in every game we’ve played against him who plays for a team/club we hate and are big rivals, can’t understand why we can’t reconcile with the media hype around him and the acceptance of his attitude when we’ve seen the likes of Sterling/Foden/Grealish given shit by the media and the wider England fanbase over better performances and who have much better attitudes, think him acting likely **** on the pitch all the time should be ignored/accepted/encouraged, or you know all this fine-well and only post about him as a bit of WUMming says more about you than it does us.

Well said.

Seen the odd game he's played in and to me he's nothing special. If TT has any sense he'll drop him for his attitude. He's had too much smoke blown up his arse over the years, the kid whose parents have never said no and so it carries on.

I read that Bellend-ingham is one of England's leadership group!

Never really understood this logic, so if Haaland is injured for a couple games and Man City play well and win comfortably against a couple of relatively easy teams that means Man City don’t need Haaland anymore ?

Bellingham doesn’t stifle Madrid, he links up well , has loads of assists and goals and fans love him. For England he plays well, up to Tuchel if he wants to drop him or whatever - I don’t care long as we win.

I’m warming to Tommy Toucan by the day.

He obviously has talent but he strikes me as a player that thinks he's the finished article at 22. Too many times against Albania he held on to the ball too long and/or tried to be too clever and lost it. He then goes mad trying to retrieve it and gets a yellow card. That's not the first time its happened. Against better sides it will cost us and they will target him because of it. For me, unless he learns to become more of a team player and loses some ego he would be on the bench. He does possess quality that could turn a game so he is worth his place in the squad, unless he's an unsettling presence.
