[@bjarkemadsboll]

Apart from his staggering abilities on a football pitch, Jude Bellingham shows everyone that the virtues of being a true gentleman are still alive and well. Humble, respectful and pure class as a person. And just the fact that he makes a point of shaking everyone’s hand and addressing them personally is very telling. Mom and dad Bellingham must be bursting with pride

[@kinverrunner]

I really hope his younger brother Jobe progresses too so I also hope Sunderland get promoted from the Championship this season. As you say his mum and dad must be so proud. What a role model he is.

Its early days but if he wins something with England he might be seen as the best Englishman ever after his career. The talent and maturity are off the charts.

[@abody499]

what makes you think he'll move? He just said he won't. The only thing that would make him move would be if something happens to him like an injury that curtails his RM career.

[@yarriddevogelaere2005]

@@abody499 How many players spend their entire career after 20 years old with one club? How many players are 'allowed' to stay their entire career at Madrid? Add those 2 together and you have one hell of a tiny statistic. The odds of him leaving Madrid are infinitely larger than him staying forever. I just don't see him leave before or in his prime-years. But the chances of him ever wanting to experience something else like Casemiro, Varane, Xabi and so many others are big since he joined he club at such a young age and him being English will probably make him want to experience some PL seasons as well. Players leave, that's football. The players staying with 1 club for 10+ years uninterrupted are an incredible rarity.

[@abody499]

Xabi was finished. Varane wanted to leave for more money - he wasn't as good as what he thought he was and Madrid wouldn't give him what Man U were offering. Casemiro went because the club accepted a big transfer fee and always need the cash, which is the way for a fan owned club, but also he was offered triple his salary - he didn't want to leave. But I think ye completely miss the point. Ever been in Madrid? There's nowhere better to live. That's for a start. In the current RM squad, there are currently 4 players who've been there more than 10 years, with another in his 10th year. Even Fran, a relatively young player, was with the club 7 years before he went to Rayo. Benzema just left - he was there 14 years, Ronaldo 9. I could go back right through history and name a long list. That's how much of a "rarity" it is with Real Madrid. There's no other club like it.
