    I don't find anything wrong with the statement, clearly his entire personality is being around being "the guy".

    He gets applause when it works, and criticism when it doesn't.

    Jude is my favorite player on the team. Hope he gets that shoulder fixed up asap. I have a feeling once he does, we'll see the absolute best version of him again.

    When he's scoring and doing his celebration the same people are cheering (well not that barca fan lol) and not writing articles about his "personality disorder".

    He's lucky though.. at least he isn't getting it like Cristiano where a section of media and fans didn't care how well he performed they hated his guts and barely tolerated his existence

    Sammer means to Dortmund about a million times more than Bellingham. When he speaks about the club, you listen.

    It's incredible that our players are so immune to criticism that a club legend can't say what he disliked about "the greatest talent he's ever seen" while he was there in person, without being labeled a hater or whatever.

    Just so soft and fitting what Real Madrid represents right now.

    Exactly; it basically comes down to favoritism.

    You have 2 groups of players at the club from a fan's perspective:

    A. Scapegoats [Mbappe, Vini, Rodrygo, LV, Tchouameni, etc.]
    B. Untouchables [Jude, Fede, Rudiger, etc.]

    If you criticize group A fans will rarely bat an eye and most likely even support you. However, if you decide to criticize group B you will be labelled a hater, idiot, etc.

    Wait, what were the criticisms of Rudiger and Fede again?

    Rudiger has been very reckless with challenges this season.

    Fede has been pretty poor with his passing for ball progression.

    I'm not criticizing them; I was illustrating the 2 camps of players.

    All our players suck apparently. If it's not their talent that's shit, it's personality. :rolleyes:

    Marca reports that during the season, Carlo looked to meet with Bellingham in private to discuss whether he has some off the field issues, apparently his body language and attitude have been "worrying".

    There was a lot of social media drama about his GF and then her reacting to it in a 10 min Tiktok video.

    I don't like to speculate too much, but he did act and look a bit overly aggressive and agitated a lot of times. The only reason I didn't really think there was something behind it, was because he shown signs of that behaviour last season as well. I just hope he keeps the focus on football (not saying he isn't), but I'm not too worried. Fantastic player!

    And only with Carlo can this type of thing stay private and not become a huge distraction midseason, at the first sign of trouble other coaches would been like... but, but Jude is not focused and I never wanted Mbappe I need defenders, and this Pintus guy has more influence over the President than I do.

    I also think he didn't like how he was being utilized by Carlo. Explains the attitude if there was one.

    I think he, like a lot of our younger guys, needs a reset with a few weeks break and a new manager.

    Seems a bit like he missed his role from last season and the goals he was scoring.

    It's not about attitude towards Carlo, more about him being negative and abrasive in general. Hence the question whether there are out of field issues or not.

    I don't think it's off the field. He probably believed the club had bought him as the alternative to Mbappe and that he had repaid that faith but the club couldn't help itself and still went out and bought Mbappe putting any BdO aspirations he might have had out of reach.

    I'm going to drop this here but if you don't stop with the fake news and misinformation nonsense I'm putting a word in to mute your account.

    At some point it's not funny, it's something somebody might see and be put off by when it comes to joining this community.

    Absolutely. Start speculating on professional motivations and it won't be long before people start spreading rumors about his personal life. :coffee:

    Why? He's harmless and funny sometimes; he brings a sarcastic and light-hearted tone to all the serious talk.

    The Mbappe obsession is worrying and annoying. It's also flooding every thread and every discussion with the stuff. Leaving a smelling sock behind the sofa, ok, but leaving a smelling sock in every corner of the house is a no go.

    Lol sorry but I chuckled at this fanfic.

    Personally think this season was frustrating for a lot of the players. The last minute wins weren't here and to top it off tactics/strategy was sorely lacking this season when facing big teams. Jude seems super competitive and this season was a letdown compared to last season.

    I think it's just a bit of everything, he really shot up to best player in the world territory last season and you know that kind of becomes the floor for the next one. Being young and having to deal with expectations simply isn't easy. His role (had to) change, lack of team success and the overall attention probably made the season feel twice as long for the guy.
