    Has to be man, I'm reading through it all and it's insane.

    Like some of the ideal targets we could have for that role are being compared to ekwah... Lamine Camara even compared to him.

    5 league appearances in 2 seasons for Targett mate. If he had any sense he’d get himself a championship move and play week in, week out.

    170 games in a 12 year career. That’s not ideal.

    And he was ‘solid’ not ‘great’ at any stage. One great season for Saints like

    Looked very good for Villa around 2020, I’ve underestimated how little he’s played recently tbh

    It's so frustrating because he has ability, size, strength.... But everything he does is at 60% effort.

    When he is good he is genuinely superb.

    There’s no inbetween though, no solid but unspectacular.

    Its ‘wow’ or ‘where?’ and we can’t carry that.

    He’s got great personality about him as well just such a shame he can’t consistently do bits.

    had been told Mark could be hostile. I had been told that, to put it mildly, he was not a fan of the written media. He is far from alone in that, of course, but I still thought it was worth a try. I write critical things about players now and again. It’d be nice to redress the balance.

    It turned out it wasn’t my best idea. Maybe a few hours before the biggest match of his elder son’s life was not the right time to approach someone with misguided attempts at ingratiation.

    I went down to where Bellingham’s dad was sitting and introduced myself. I said my bit about how much I admired his son. ‘Which son?’, he said. This was not, I knew immediately, going to end well.

    ‘I’ve got two sons, you know,’ Mr Bellingham said, voice dripping with disdain. He had gone from nought to angry in five seconds flat. His younger son, Jobe, who is carving out a fine career of his own at Sunderland, was sitting in front of him.

    I apologised and said I had meant his elder son and that it was a stupid mistake. ‘Yeah, it was a stupid mistake,’ Mr Bellingham said. ‘A lot of people make that mistake and it really p****s me off.’

    Fair enough. And I should have sloped off at that point, defeated. But, instead, I dug my hole a little bit deeper. I told him my best mate had been taught French by Mr Bellingham’s dad at Southend High School for Boys in the 1980s and that he was one of his favourite teachers. True story.

    For anywhere between £5-8m which I've seen quoted, it seems like an obvious pick up. The price is barely out of the range of being a punt, yet he's one of the biggest young talents North of the border.

    The potential was always there with him, he was class on his day.

    The question is whether anything has changed in the last year and he comes back wanted to put in the effort to play on the Premier League. I have no doubt that he has the talent. If he came back with the right attitude, it would be like a new signing.

    I don't see any way in which Ekwah plays in a RLB team. Just will never run / press enough.

    Everytime I see his name I see Almiron picking his pocket and it fills me with rage

    He's more suited to a slower paced league, I reckon he will go on and have a cracking career in a European league, I just don't think he's suited to British football

    I like him but I don't trust him as a player to do the basics and thatll get massively found out at PL level

    Hopefully he gets a good permanent move this summer as I hate when clubs just keep loaning players out all the time when they are in their 20s

    Just shows the depth they’ve got when it was a 28 man squad selected…
