If he plays like he has the opening 2 games for the rest of the season, there's no way he's here next season. The likelihood is he'll play even better.
Part of Bellingham's 'problem' is that he makes everything look like a stroll ... then you remember he's not having a kickabout with his mates, he's up against strong Championship cloggers who must find him really annoying
TBF if he keeps his level this high and even improves further there's every chance we go up. Will get another season then I would think.
Was impressed with him yesterday. Very quick feet and great game awareness. Looks to have filled out a bit over the summer too. Will be a massive player for us this year
Which makes getting him signed to a long term contract a genius move. Palace were quoted £20m after 1 season in the Championship. If he keeps up his form, they can double that at least When he does go, it will be for big money. Huge money in fact.
Before KLD arrived we often had a squad of players who, without exception, were worth less than we'd paid for them ... ... i'd say that situation is entirely reversed. If KLD could actually pocket the transfer money, as some clowns keep claiming he is, he'd have twice what he paid for the club ... ... but still own the club! He could divvy out some of the dosh to Speakman, Dodds and Proctor then do the whole thing again
I think we’ll see them both in the same England team like. Said a few weeks ago that lad will go on to a much better club than us, he’s got it all. Unfairly criticised more often than not. Would be good to see him in the PL with Sunderland before he moves on
Mad that folk were ripping him apart at times last season, Christ half time at Cardiff he was taking shots on Twitter. He was overused and tired last season, but you could see it. He just seems so much calmer and more composed this season and Sunday he was just effortlessly superb. I’d be asking £40million right now, never mind end season. He’s signed the new deal and his ceiling is ridiculous. Try and avoid it or not but his surname also makes him incredibly marketable. The surname, the ‘breeding’ for want of a better word, family are rock solid behind him and Jude. He’s got potential superstar slapped on every bit of him.
He's been our best midfielder first two games. (Jobe that is much better than the other one) Him and Neil playing well together when we lose the ball. He's much more solid and aggressive than last season
I think he has improved a lot since last season. He's quicker, stronger and far more effective in the midfield role. He's going to have a very good season, which will be good for us, but will attract the attention of clubs higher up the pyramid. If we can achieve promotion, we have a good chance of keeping him. If we don't, I think he will move on to bigger things, leaving our club financially secure, due to the huge fee he will command.
I’ve said since I started watching him for us that every part of his game is quality. He just needs to put it all together in the same game though and yesterday he did, he was brilliant. And yes he’s unfairly criticised in my opinion and I also think he’ll get into the England team, so will Rigg. Hopefully both with us. HTL KTF
And what I thought he done better yesterday than I’ve seen him do was release the ball at the right time. Class, pure class.
