The Bellinghams have their heads screwed on mind. They play the long game and don't just jump at money making decisions. Jude could've easily went to Man Utd or another of the top clubs straight from Birmingham but knew that going to Dortmund for a few years would get him into the elite club bracket. I'd be surprised if Man Utd was where Jobe ended up, think it'll be a move to a Dortmund level club.
 
Well if we sell Jobe it certainly makes the Midfield maths a bit easier and Le Fee could go in the middle.

I would be very unhappy if he went to Man U. They're a talent graveyard and I just think he's better advised than to go there. If they'd showed signs of improving under Ratcliffe then I could understand but they've regressed if anything.

arguably Man Utd ARE that Dortmund level club at the moment. He’d get plenty of game time there.
 
Question to the scout types among us, as ive long wondered. Obviously, if Jobe left, we wouldn't just be losing a good player, but a bit of extra physicality in the midfield. We could technically sell him, not replace him and still go up.

But, like for like, who would you recommend as a signing to replace him? Someone physical, box to box, good attitude and mentality? Might be the hardest to replace.

excellently put. I don’t mind le fee moving into jobe’s position but we would need to reinvest the money and replace his physicality elsewhere. We haven’t been easy to bully at corners etc for a while and would miss Jobe a lot.

With that type of money coming in its tough, dont think you could get anything as good:
maybe mathias delorge would mean we wouldnt notice too much difference but still a downgrade and expensive
heard marseille dont like ismael kone, thought he was solid at this level for watford not too long ago
Tochi Chukwuani is a big lad who gets forward and can defend but doesnt carry it as well as jobe
