There's definitely flashes of quality in there just needs to continue getting minutes and keep on developing. Physically, he looks unbelievable for a 17 year old.
He doesnt know how to use his physicality yet but when he does - what a player we'll have on our hands
Neither did Ekwah and look at the change in him in such a short space of time, excited about this one
Can see a few times in the video he tries to get his body in between man and ball and wins a few free kicks. Got nice feet as well. How tall is he mate? Looks well over 6ft. Maybe 6ft 3 or so?
Agreed. But he has a way to go on Ekwah just yet. When Ekwah was Jobe’s age, Jobe was 13. sometimes we forget just how young 17 is. Which is why he’s such a prospect.
Think hes 6.1 but not 100%, never seen him live His close control is a big strength of his, lovely feet n moves the ball quickly. The stuff he isnt great at is the stuff youd expect a 17 yr old playing senior football to not be great at. As @Hudson92 mentioned about ekwah, he will learn to use his physicality to his advantage. @Hudson92 the scary thing with ekwah is i still dont believe he knows how to fully use it yet - im really excited to see what kind of player he is going to come when he does (made more progress in a short space of time than any sunderland player i can remember)
Aye and its only going to get harder, I reckon its going to be such an exciting summer for us Love the way the clubs going
1.78m according to transfermarket which is 5ft 10. I'm not having that like. I'm 6ft 1 and he looks taller than that to me. Ekwah signed in Jan and came into his own once Uncle Tony had coached him for a few month so I expect the same with Jobe. A good pre season and then a few month to settle in and see how he is doing around Nov/Dec. He can come into the side when Hendo needs a rest during the busy Christmas period.
the transfermrkt height was taken when he was 16 apparently. He’s had a growth spurt and is now marginally taller than his brother who is listed as 6’1 Here is a recent photo of them together https://www.teamtalk.com/liverpool/...s-klopp-elbow-real-madrid-aside-transfer-race
The league cup game(s) will be ideal for players like Bellingham. Might get a canny crowd if it’s at home.
Transfermarkt isnt great with heights for younger players, i looked on wyscout n it said the same - they often pull the height from Transfermarkt He is def bigger than that, the good thing is its not just height - like ekwah he has good pace as well
So in Tony's words - is he a soldier or an artist? He had Ekwah down as an artist if memory serves me right
