He is phenomenally good, and I honestly don't think he'd have developed into the same player had he gone to a premier league team instead of Dortmund and now Real Madrid. The media pressure would have been ridiculous on him, he'd likely not have the same licence to express himself in the same way in a very physical league.

The main hope is that he doesn't burn out. Conditioning etc. is obviously streets ahead of where it was but I've read somewhere he's played something like 20,000 minutes by the age of 20 whereas Gerrard/Lampard had played ~2,000.
Only thing we can do is sit back and appreciate him atm.

I said similar in the summer. Really didn’t want him to go United or Liverpool. The English game is far more direct, him going to Real Madrid gives him the big club experience whilst being encouraged to hone and use his technical skills.

Not sure mate , Zidane top 15 player ever
Stats non comparible as the games different , I saw Zidane take the piss out of one of the best Brazilian teams ever at the world cup
Be good to see him reach Zidane levels at all
I do think the scope is there to be up there though is what im saying

Not even English but even I'm excited by this guy. His record is phenomenal. Seems like a pretty grounded lad as well.

Whenever he's on TV here, the commentators spend most of the time raving about him rather than commentating on the game.

The maturity for a 20yr old is incredible

The only person who's come close to stopping him is Southgate to be fair
Direct, they're all playing template football?

Probably the wrong word. The English game isn’t kind to the slower methodical way of playing.
it’s more in your face get it forward than in Spain

Wasn’t Southgate one of the first managers play Bellingham CAM?
Same with Trent, Klopp even called him out do it to then create this hybrid role for him… funny that.

Had a last minute header disallowed because the ref blew the final whistle as the cross came in, then was sent off when it all kicked off. Saw the ref's match report and don't know why but this made me laugh, I think it's the official language.
"At the end of the match, the player (5) Bellingham, Jude Victor William, was sent off for the following motive: After the end of the game and while still on the pitch, he came running over to me in an aggressive way shouting, repeatedly: ‘It’s a f*****g goal!’.”

That will always be a goal. In any world other than the ref’s
Trent it bang average, they were just desperate to find somewhere he could be any good.
The only thing that can stop England winning the Euros is Gareth Southgate.

After centuries of trying, scientists at last managed to take the Birmingham out of the boy.

Is it fam yeah?
Think with Bellingham, him and his brother were both privately educated from young. The dad has always been a footballer as well as a copper and they have been project Mbappes.
