Mate of mine is a Birmingham season ticket holder, so I asked him if Jobe is any good. Here’s what he said:
“Difficult to tell. He can’t get anywhere near our first XI atm so depends whether he develops. 17 still very young but he struggles cos of the comparison to Jude (and is almost certainly also hyped because of it).
My guess would be he will end up as a mid-table level Championship player (so whoever signs him we’ll probably get him back in 3-4 years).
Whereas the first time I saw Jude play when he was 15 I compared him to Zidane…”
So not all that glowing. He is very young though.
