Jude Bellingham Development

Seems like he's becoming a genuinely great player. I wonder if he'll come to the PL at some point. Probably Real won't let him go till he's washed. I guess we'll have to make do watching him for England.

Nothing seems to phase him

He's stepped up to every challenge he's faced

He's made a great start to life at Real and he's only going to get better.

Exactly that

Still impressive but he is playing as RMs false 9 and not in midfield

He's had a nice start but 4 games is nothing really and we'll have to see how this actually pans out.

I remember Zlatan starting his ill-fated single season w/Pep's Barca really well, and then it all fell apart.

Exactly this.

He's made a great start, but the real test will be how he responds to the inevitable adversities every footballer has to face.

Bellingham just turned 20, zlatan was 27/28 years at that time.

Poor comparison.

He’s a great a player and will hopefully drag England on to win a trophy.

If there's any caveat to that comparison, it's that Zlatan had a great career both before and after Barça. In sporting terms things didn't even go that badly at Barça either. It just turned out that he and Guardiola got along terribly.

Bellingham is at a stage in his career where things could still go very pear-shaped for a variety of reasons. He might believe his own hype to a degree that's damaging to his progression.
He might not respond well to the inevitable criticism every player has to face sooner or later at Madrid.
The UK media won't help in that regard, either.

It's just the done thing.

I bet Fellaini got rave reviews back in Belgium during his PL career too.

Wouldn’t go that far.

Lukaku then.
