Could we realistically have an England midfield of Rice Jobe and Jude or will be missing some balance?
So Jobe will sorta play like pedri this season
At the right club I think he can be a top player, Dortmund got the best out of his Jude so fingers crossed for him he can go on and have a great career his family must be so proud
He reminds me a bit of mctominay actually
He reminds me a bit of mctominay actually
So he is basically the Phil Neville of this duo
Wasn't even close to the best player in the championship last season. Most people wouldn't ev3 have put him in the champo team of the year
Jobe is going to better than Jude come back in 6 years
This entire short falls apart when you realise that Jude used to play a box-to-box role at BvB…exactly how Jobe is being played there 😠So yes, we CAN expect them to be used similarly at BvB omg
Jube needs to do a job over Judes
lucky family, bunch of talent. but as others noted, i prefer jude when he plays with more dynamic rather than playing too far forward, he is such an all-rounder
Jobe was signed as a B2B midfielder, to play in a 2 with Nmecha. Expect a new attacking midfielder to arrive at dortmund in the window
this is bollox, jude start at dortmund exactly the same position as jobe is doing now,
Jobe is more direct with his play, Jude has a slight technical advantage where Jobe is more traditional with his style of play. He's more a Manchester United type midfielder, a bit like Owen Hargreaves and he works more intelligently when he tackles opposed to Jude's style of tackling with aggressive assertiveness.
Jude is Gerrard, Jobe is Carrick
Tbh jobe at sunderland wasnt amazing he was good but not great
I like how he wears Jobe and not Bellingham on is shirt because he wants to write is own story and not live in his brother’s shadow. I mean come on, you had to go to Dortmund then?😂
We're all just hoping Jobe can reach similar heights and we can have the Bellingham brothers linking up in the England midfield.
similarity- both first name start with J and ends with e
differences- different age
🫡🫡🫡
Did Birmingham retire his Shirt Number as well? serious question I would like to know if someone can help…
Tbf they are very similar bcz Jude was also like Jobe at Dortmund(Box-to-box)
They are identical. Jobe has the physical and technical qualities to be more advanced.
What?😂 Jude was doing exactly that at Dortmund how they different then?😂
jobe is no jude
Nmecha has qualities to be box to box too
Wow! Nico Kovac is certainly a great example for a young central midfielder.
English people and ball knowledge don't go
What you talking about he played in the front three as a LF in his last game at the CWC 😅
