I genuinely cannot think of any midfielder in football history who was as good as him.
He’s the best player in the world at 20 years old with 13 goals and 3 assists playing as a midfielder for the biggest and most pressure club in the world with an incomplete squad at his disposal.
Its not even about goals but their importance, he’s winning games, equalizing scores all by himself and many times at the very last minute.
Considering his young age (20) and if he were to improve further on passing and tempo dictation, does he have a chance to go down as the most complete midfielder of all-time? (Matthaus probably holds that spot)
would RM be willing to give up bellingham in exchange for one of those players? let’s say he’s not arguably world class level yet, but his “potential” is through the roof atm. and knowing how the careers of those players went, can we confidently say bellingham won’t surpass them? I personally would keep him, as I expect him to continue improving
