To play devils advocate though is it easier - being set up by Champions League players and players for the best team in the world in League one and whoever was at Spurs. Belligham played at Brum also if my memory is right.

Point overall is is though, you do really forget how good Deli was and level he reached.
Agree, Dele was good.... very good in fact! And at the age of 21/22 was as it now seems at his peak!

After 2018 ish his career spiraled downwards resulting in what we have today!

But to compare the 2 is a little far fetched considering one was doing it in the 3rd division of English football plus for a half decent Spurs team at the time.

Whilst the other is doing it right at the top of the game.

Dele played in the World Cup Semi final didnt he mate and the CL final if my memory is right.

True.... games in which he lost.

Bellingham has won a cup in Germany, La Liga and Champions League!

Along with winning Bundesliga player of the year for 2 seasons on the bounce and then La Liga player of the year!

Bellingham is a fine player for sure.

Very modern player for modern football to my mind, he's that type of hybrid player, between midfield and the forward line and has a great movement and end product, you couldn't really say hes an out or out midfielder or forward. He also doesn't influence the play that much in either position but he has great movement and end product, id love a good coach to get hold of Bellingham to be honest as i think he has more to his game and could be more rounded and i think he has the attitude to do it - to become a really great player. In some ways i think playing at for want of a better word "finishing schools" in Dortmund and Real hasnt been great for his overall holistic game - though he's had terrific success, think there is more in him to be got as a player.

I guess overall you could say all the same about Dele really. My point really was im always staggered when i look back and see how good Dele was - if nothing else it does point to some logic on why we did the deal we did.

In the hope he could get anywhere near what he was….

But we purchased him 4 years after his peak.
