Bellingham

Yeah football isn’t the game for you. If you can’t see the lad has potential then you are a grade A prat.

You’re writing off an 18 year old cos we’ve got a better 16 year old? Fuckwit.

Yes he has to realise that potential and be more consistent which would be aided massively playing in a better side. As was shown earlier this season.
Potential at what ?
 

Sick of hearing the same shit…. He’s 18. Rig is younger and a mile better. His age is irrelevant he’s not good enough
Bellingham started the season very well. He looked excellent. The problem is we’ve played him for far too many minutes.

If we played him for 37 matches I’m sure we’d see a drop off in standards.

Whatever isn’t & isn’t written into his contract, our management of Bellingham has been naive at best & probably more incompetent than anything else.
 
Oh give over, where players come from has nothing to do with it - ive seen local lads get undeserved shit plenty of times over the last 30 years, bollocks to say they're more favoured.

Dan Neil always looked a classy footballer and had an obvious style.

At times despite having the physique Jobe lacks with so many aspects like taking the ball on the half turn or getting it under control. He's played over half a season as an attacking midfielder and isn't capable of playing the role, with his best form beig up front or a couple of games recently further back. Whilst he gets in good positions in and around the box, has scored a few goals his general play simply hasn't been good enough over the course of the season to warrant so many games.

He's being over exposed and that's the reason for the criticism, not where he comes from.
Of course where a player comes from matters

Just look at the way most go on about overrated Dan Neil and next England keeper Patti ffs

Jobe is better than Neil was at 18 that’s a fact
 
Potential at what ?

So you don’t consider the lad to have potential?

18 years old? Second top scorer at the club? And the consensus was that we had abysmal today apparently but had a 96.6% pass completion more interceptions and clearances than any other player? Was dispossessed once!

But aye no potential.
 
“That’s nothing to do with age”? Expecting an 18year old to be the finished article might be the stupidest thing said on here. And that’s saying something.

Didn’t lose the ball playing deeper. Did when played higher, tells a story no?


When have I said he is a team?

Ive said he has undoubted potential. But that’s all, potential, and he/the club has to get that out more consistently.

Do you disagree?
its time he started to show his potential...there have been times this season he should never have been selected to play. It's so blatantly obvious , even those who cannot see, he has a contract that requires him to start every game, even if it to the detriment of the whole team....that not a player we should be playing week in week out.

Loads better and at a higher level too.

He's not good enough simple as
 
Hes shite n all as i said on the another thread

Muppet. Gan give your head a wobble and dream of the halcyon days of Jack Rodwell, Josh Scowen and Dylan McGeouch

Bet you were one of the many calling Dan Neil shite when he came into the team weren’t ya?

I’ve said this. I’m not saying he’s at an acceptable level. And the current disjointed nature of the team isn’t making it easy for any one to show much.

I’ve stated he has potential. And he’s 18.

And his goal return is the best of any 18 year old in the top four divisions.

He is far from shit.

I never said he was shit....

if you want to watch shit, look no further than Burstow or Hemir.
 
When you the ability of them two you can get by without aload of pace

Lee Clark made 19 first team appearances scoring twice at 18.

Stefan Schwartz at 18 made 10 appearances, no goals for Malmo.

Maybe they learned their trade and how to utilise their skill set after 18 years of age?

Would think that’s quite the norm.
 
He does have potential tbf but he's no where near ready for first team football on a weekly basis.

It's all well and good letting him play and learn, often by being anonymous or poor all game, it probably will help him long term but unlikely to help us.

I think we've though if we can replicate his brother's form at Birmingham we can maybes get €25 million for him as well. His stats are similar tbf sockets hope scouts haven't been watching the games and just looking at the data like we do and buy him on his name value.
