As a Spurs fan, it pains me to say that any promising youngster thinking of joining us should use think twice. Look how many promising youngsters have made it when they signed for us. Is there anyone in the last 15 years beyond Gareth Bale?
How many have made it at any club….

How many young talents have we signed in that time?

From what I understand he is at least as highly rated by his club and in the local area as Jude. Whether that means he goes on to be anywhere near as good is anyone's guess of course but he is clearly a talented kid.
2/3 years ago when the older JB was emerging, a colleague who was also a Birmingham City season ticket holder told me his younger brother was considered the better prospect (in terms of when Jude was his age by comparison). Obviously development can impact things but certainly sounds like he's worth a gamble given how his brother turned out!

Sorry but we’ve had tonnes of successful youngsters over the last 20 years.

Bale
Lennon
Dawson
Rose
Walker
Winks
Kane
Dele

All came through the youth set up or were signed as prospects. I’m sure I’m probably forgetting a few there. But they’ve all had varying degrees of success from being global superstars to simply making it as first team regulars.

It’s only really in the last few years we’ve struggled to blood young players as well as we used to.

Classic Spurs, we can’t afford or attract Jude Bellingham but what I can offer you is his younger brother Jobe? ? brilliant stuff ?
Isn’t Jobe meant to be considered the more talented of the two?

Not saying he will get anywhere near his brother’s heights but I thought he was meant to very very highly rated

And why would Dortmund develop a talent for Spurs?
Because Dortmund have a habit of accepting this kind of player offers? ?

Hakimi went from Real Madrid to Dortmund on 2 year loan

Reinier Jesus went from Real Madrid to Dortmund in 2020 on a 2 yr loan …

I am not suggesting something that’s unheard of . Thing though am not sure is , if Multi year loan is still valid or new loan rule change restricts to just 1 yr at a time

If he signs and doesn’t progress, will he change the spelling of his name to Gob and complain of arrested development?
