useless Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Bellingham is more of a traditional box-to-box central midfielder than either Maddison or Barkley, more of a like for like replacement for Ward-Prowse.

Yes but he plays a few games for Dortmund and he gets in the squad. We're meant to be building for the euros. Southgate is too rigid and compartmental. Everybody has to fit into a certain role.

Davkaus Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 He's a 17 year old good enough to not just be signed by a team in the CL, but to start most games for them. Get used to seeing him in an England shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be surprised to see him play a position he has never done before Yep, hard to see him starting in a 5-2-3 so it's as a sub as we go 5-3-2 and he ends up being asked to drift out wide Can probably add him to the list of players who be asked to play wide left for the first time ever in his career over definitley a left winger and only a left winger grealish (who might come on for 10 minutes and be asked to play on the right) Either way when the current clown has gone and Bellingham fulfills his potential he's definitely getting a fair few caps Edited November 10, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate seems to be extremely stubborn and will double down on his managing of Jack. It feels a bit like Steve McLaren completely dropped Beckham from the England setup. It made no sense to anybody at all. Edited November 10, 2020 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Great to see another Brummy get called up. Unlike Jack, who is still one of ours, playing for his brilliant home club, Jude left the small time joke of a team he started at and now plays for a proper club. Good on him. I hope he does well for England. The fact remains that whatever Jude does for England has NOTHING to do with Blues and everything Jack does for his country, is as a Villa player. That's gotta hurt.

Lol He’s not a Brummie. Blues played a huge part in his development, so yes what he does for England does have something to do with them. I’m surprised he’s got the call up, but good for him. I hope he does well. Reading about him, it seems he was privately educated, very rare for someone with that background to get into football.

I should have said I am pleased there's another West Midlander in the squad but I wasn't expecting to pulled up on such a small detail. Anyway, they are claiming him as one of theirs when in fact he isn't. He plays for Brussels Dortmund. Jack on the other hand is one of ours, and yet they continue to gush over Jude and slate Jack as if there's some sort of rivalry between the two. There is isn't. Jude has nothing to do with that club anymore and that's a fact. Him playing for England is because of what he is doing at Dormtund, not what he did for that rabble.
