Tazio Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I had an argument about a year ago about him. I reckoned he was the young player that would take England forward and is a special talent. My brother reckons that’s Foden. Bollocks it is. Great player but isn’t the potential consistent game changer Bellingham is. I heard an interview with him on the radio after the World Cup and they asked him what his ambition was and he replied “to be the best player in the world”. Some people laughed at that but why not? He might not be but why limit your ambition to something like winning lots of caps or champions leagues? And the odd thing is he didn’t say it arrogantly, just matter of fact. And he did justify it pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 His younger brother, Jobe, is playing really well for Sunderland. Joined in the close season but can see him moving to a more successful team sooner rather than later. Only 18, versatile and has bossed the midfield in a couple of games. Their parents must be so proud of the two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joondalupjambo Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 all about attitude, self believe and confidence which as an Englishman he has in spades. Talent alone would not be enough. Vast majority of Scottish laddie's lack that desire to be the best and also stay in their comfort zones. Thankfully Hickey, that Hibby and yon Aberdeen boy are starting a new trend whereby our talented youngsters see a bigger picture, move abroad and back themselves.

The Black Prince Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I thought Scotland did pretty well to lose only 3-1 against what is a pretty awesome England side - who are only going to get better as they start to realise how ****ing good they are. Desperately hoping they haven't realised that already because Oz has to play them at Wembley tomorrow. We're somewhat in transition also with a couple of our best players out. I fear it could get ugly. Not least as the last time we played them was 2003 and hijacked the underestimating *******s 3-1. They won't be underestimating us tomorrow... or if they do, it will be with valid reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already is loved down at Madrid (scored 5 goals in 4 league games for them.) And its easy to forget that he has only recently turned 20, and has played over 200 senior games for club and country. Just a wonderful player. Your post got me thinking. It is interesting to wonder if Hearts had a talent would he get the same opportunity. Birmingham City spotted something and Bellingham made a brilliant decision to go to the best club in Europe for playing youth. When you dig deeper, there are certain clubs who have this in their DNA. Now Bellingham is a generational type player, but Naisy and club have spoken about promoting youth. I long for the day when a Hearts 20yr old could have 200 games under his belt. Truth is, fans would say he is not ready, not big enough, needs to fill out. Truth is, forward players if quick enough, are ready at a young age.
