I know it gets spoken about a lot but what a player this boy is. Can see him at Madrid for many years and will go down as an all time great imo.
Except the World CupHe’ll win the lot on every stage IMO.
How the %^*& can anyone talk Bellingham down ? Absolutely mental.Caught a bit of Talksport the other day and Andy Townsend was talking him down. Brain damage.
Bellingham is a supreme footballer. Scary how good he could get.
I'd have him in my team ahead of any of that lot.He's a superstar already and only 20, mad.
Almost as mad as this take re the touch from the match thread
A good first touch under no pressure. Any good level player is capable of it.
Though I'm used to seeing guys like Foden, Mahrez, Bernardo do that for fun on a weekly basis so maybe my bar for being astounded is a bit high.
My memory isnt great but as good as the Aribo touch was was it to set up a goal against Man City away in a UCL Quarter finals?I think he is unbelievable but seen Aribo take a better touch in similar circumstances.
A guy at age twenty, not only playing for Real Madrid, but flourishing.How the %^*& can anyone talk Bellingham down ? Absolutely mental.
The poster did subsequently correct themselves, tbf.I'd have him in my team ahead of any of that lot.
England will be frustrating to watch this Summer with Southgate putting the handbrake on such a talented group of attacking players. Can't believe they're persisting with him.
He needs a team. Talented individuals within a team help but the rest have to be up to scratch to win. If England go with anyone other than Butland then they're short before you get to right back.If England don’t win something with Bellingham and Foden then it’s all Southgates fault .

Define 'the lot'.He’ll win the lot on every stage IMO.
League titlesDefine 'the lot'.
Bellingham would be the first one to call out Butlands distribution to be fair.
They utterly adore him over at Madrid.
The English snobbery over the EPL means you will see plenty talk him down all because he turned down Man Shitty.
My mrs is Spanish so have a soft spot for Real Madrid. Perfect fit for him. Madrid is a different gravy of a football club.
Much like the man in your profile photo and his explosion on to the snack van market.Love the fact that he's went into the biggest club in the world at 20, arms out and went "I'm the main man now"
Elite level mentality

They have a team in fact they’ve had one in all Southgate’s tenure,he is never a top class manager bad appointment by England .He needs a team.

We still going on about this lol Tav better score a banger of a penalty at the weekend to give us something else to drool over.
Excellent young player but ballon d'or talk this year for him is so premature it's crazy. Granted I'll be swayed a bit more if he drives England to the euros title like everyone down south seems to expect him too. For now though I'm not on board with the gross around him. I'm actually more impressed with the off field stuff I see with him in interviews etc as his level of maturity seems to be so far beyond his age its wild. And will no doubt stand him in great stead when trying to live up to the stratospheric expectations that have been already placed on him.
He has been instrumental in Madrid winning the league and they are now heavy favourites to win the Champions League.
Going to be some side with Mbappe and Alphonso Davies added next year.
Rightly so lolDidn't get a shot on target in the first leg and cost me 100 quid so he's shite and I'll probably slag him off and belittle his achievements the rest of his career now

Heavy favorites is a bit strong fo4 me think the 2 legs v bayern are fascinating. Think the winners of that will win it though it would be poetic if Dortmund get to the final and beat Real.
Jude is part of a young evolving Madrid side and is holding his own with a collection of quality players. When we drew them in the quarters my concerns were drawn more towards the Brazilian lads up front for them and they were by a mile their biggest threats across both legs. Caused us a lot of problems. Bellingham was completely anonymous in the first leg and a bit more influential for an hour in the second leg including that quality touch for their goal.
It's not an insult to him to veer away from the narrative that's being rammed down our throats that he's the second coming of Zidane already and nailer on Ballon d'or. The fact he's at Madrid in the first place at his age is compliment enough for now. I just as a general football observer want to see more evolution in him before I'm blown away by this all conquering superstar.
Don't see them as heavy favourites really, granted 6/4 with bookies but I think they are far from a cert to win it. Both Leverkusen and Villa are shorter than them for the other two for example.
Comfortably on his way to be England's greatest ever player
I'd have him in my team ahead of any of that lot.

He didn't do much in the first leg, sure, it happens. Didn't see Wednesdays game. But I've watched him enough this season to see the sort of things he is doing, which for a 20 year old, they are incredible.
Tbh I thought they would put City out and backed them as soon as the draw happened, 6/1. Just can't see the others beating them, was only City or Madrid could win it for me.
