Jobe Bellingham

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.
 
On Sunderland’s bench today but as the tie with Stoke is going deep into stoppage time and they are losing they have so far resisted bringing him on!

Maybe they don’t want to cup tie him for a “buying club”.
 
He would be an incredible sign of intent from the club if we bought him. I don’t see it happening but I’d be delighted with it. Huge prospect and would suit us well
 
He's going to Dortmund for around £30 million.
On this basis Wharton must be worth £100 million.
Perhaps I'm missing something on Bellingham's potential, but to me he looks more on athlete than a footballer.
Mind you, I don't particularly rate his brother either!

yes a good engine and will get better, but £30m seems massively overpriced even in these days of high prices.

They would both be found out in the premier league.
