Again?

He won't go anywhere next season if Sunderland, who won again earlier, are promoted.

If we were to sign a Sunderland midfielder personally I'd rather it be Chris Rigg.

However, I wouldn't be disappointed in Jobe. Very different to our other midfielders, but certainly would be much more positive than Lerma, Doucoure and Hughes.

I hope you mean "attacking/creative"? Nothing wrong with the essential task those three perform very well!

But I agree. To have only one creative CAM who is brilliant but still injured smacks of carelessness.

Of course.

I used positive, because its hard to call Jobe, or Wharton for that matter, an attacking/creative midfielder in the truest sense.

But both can do that defence to attack transition well. Wharton with his quick passing and Jobe with powerful running.

Can't say I know too much about him apart from seeing him get the odd goal for Sunderland but surely any 19 year old who's had 2 seasons playing in the championship can't be too bad.

I too was not flushed with knowledge about the playing qualities of Jobe Bellingham so I had a conversation with a learned gentleman. He informed me that Bellingham's favourite position is as a box-to-box midfielder which is where he sees his future lies.
He has played as a forward at youth level and as a central striker at senior level.
