Jobe Bellingham - Signed

[Wayne The Punk]

What do scouts know

I will settle for decent passing, vision and footballing ability

Edit. It's mentions he has pace about 4 times btw

I just didnt see it in that video montage. Anyhow apart from that looks good so far, read any Birmingham supporters views on him?

Not bothered about Birmingham fans views, all fans views are tainted when players are leaving.

I am more curious where he fits in the team as it's stands

 

[Grimes]

Wow when do we think this is announced?

 

[The Cabbage]

Yeah, he's kind of like Embo, in that he's an attacking midfielder who can also play wide.

I reckon that’s more to do with age and physical maturity. If he gets to 6’1” or so like his brother he’ll develop into an all-round central player imo.

 

[Cream Soda]

Reports say its a 3

Does it ? Link pal?

 

[Kernel]

Hopefully gives an example to certain academy players who are thinking of jumping ship - without blocking their pathway!

I'd like to think so...there's never been a better time for our own academy lads.

 

[Bacchus]

Seems strong against his peers, canny control, not blistering pace can pick a pass, but still a bairn

I liked his movements in the montage

Yes, moves into space well to receive the ball back

 

[parsonjohn1985]

What if you were in the middle then? Hypothetically, can get by but have one crack at an opportunity...do you take the money over development....or go for more money? Throw in playing for your boyhood club?


I get the struggle....money is everything when you have nothing. I totally understand.

Everyone gets to make their own choice.

Everyone gets to make their own choice.

They do. All will have reasons behind their decisions.

I hope the young lads at the academy see the relevance of this to their careers.

The younger brother of one of the top young talents in the world is looking to move to us when he could have his pick of anywhere. Due to the coaching, the pathway, the environment that allows young talent to thrive. Bellingham senior see’s this and brings his son to our game to see the environment first at hand that is best for his son.

Meanwhile Rigg senior is taking pics of him and his son at mag games and putting them on social media. Feel sorry for Chris cos if he doesn’t make it, it’ll be because his fathers a gravy for brains mag and putting his own loyalties ahead of the best interests of his son.

Really, surely to be diplomatic you’d keep that quiet so you didn’t get any unnecessary hassle

This is a great post.

Fabulous signing for just £3m.

Exactly.

Pics were on here a few weeks ago. A lot of decent fans were giving him the benefit of the doubt, saying he’s totally allowed to go to the match, which of course he is. But it just shows a total lack of class and/ or intelligence (I know, mag in lack of class and intelligence shocker…)

Bellingham been to two of our games, whilst employed by Birmingham, does the same apply to him and his dad?

Unfortunately a leopard never changes its spots.

Ididn’t realise we had a long standing rivalry with Birmingham. That the Bellingham families Sunderland connections had provoked debate amongst fans. That Bellingham senior posted pictures of him and his son outside the stadium of light. Must have missed all that buddy.

Not including all that. Jobe is potentially coming to a club that’s probably the best in the country for young players to develop. Rigg might be moving somewhere cos is Dads a m*g.

Like I said if Rigg doesn’t make it it’s cos his dads got gravy for brains

We don't have a rivalry with Birmingham, that's beside the point.

Would you be happy if it was the other way round and Birmingham had a focus on youth and our biggest youth talent was at their games?

Riggs dad is a mags fan, Rigg is a mags fan it's hardly sky falling in territory that the dad posts mag biased stuff on his social media

Just seen your edit. If Rigg doesn't make it, it's because he's not good enough, got nothing to do with his dad

 

[Nathan Gunn]

Really excited about this one. Hope its a lengthy deal. 4 years

I’m sure there’s a rule that says players under 18 can only sign maximum 3 yr deals.

Your missing the point.

One’s focus seems to be his son being in the best environment for him to maximise his football ability. The others doesn’t.
