Bellingham is how I imagined Duncan Edwards was like.

Duncan Edwards was way stockier, next time you see a picture of him take a good look at his thighs.  Jacob is almost sylph-like compared to Edwards.

I get what he means though, someone so obviously the complete player at a ridiculously early age.

Bellingham will do well to be anywhere close to how Dennis Mortimer was in his best days.

I fully understand and don't disagree at all, Bellingham is a super player and will only get better, DE was a beast of a man at eighteen, he had the lot, heading, passing defending, he had it all such a shame we didn't get to see just how good he could have been.

John Charles was another that had the lot.  For comparison to one our own being a complete footballer look no further than Sid, although Sid lacked a bit in his heading ability IMO.

Aftab, we were so lucky to have a player with an engine such as Des Brenner in our team, to have three, Des, Denis and Sid, we were absolutely blessed.  I'm sure you'll agree.

Indeed Dave but the growing hope at relatively young age in me at the time meant that I didn't really appreciate it. It's only later that you realise how great they were.

Out for Boxing Day but was seen in training this week so hopefully won't be missing for too long.

Missing Ramsey's drive and play when he's on the front foot.
Hopefully it won't be too long until he's back and he's playing to his strengths in an attacking role.

JJ copes  by Leeds' physicality.
I hope the club have him prepared and that he is strong enough to handle the inevitable fouls.
Can see him receiving minutes tomorrow.
Wonderful to see him back playing in the Premier League!

Will be even more wonderful if him and Coutinho repeat their double-act from last season's game.

JJ has all the requirements to play in the front 3 and can see Emery deploying him even as the main striker if needs must.

Bizarre.
His key strength is the timing of his runs to the edge of the box. I could see him operating as a withdrawn wide player at a push, but not as the main striker.

Ramsey jnr joining Archer at Boro apparently, thought he was injured.
