Jobe Bellingham Should Join BvB Like His Brother – Ally McCoist

Sunderland midfielder, Jobe Bellingham should emulate his brother, Jude by joining Borussia Dortmund, Ally McCoist has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Jobe’s form is the reason Sunderland have a chance of automatic promotion from the championship, and joining Borussia Dortmund in the summer would make a lot of sense for the youngster.

Ally added that BvB’s pedigree of developing young players make it a potential brilliant move for Bellingham.

His words, “Sadly for my fellow Mackems, I think so. He’s been great. I watch their games every week and he’s been great. They have been fabulous. I’m not ruling out automatic promotion, I’m really not.

The league is one of my favourites in world football because it’s relentless. A lot of respect for the players and teams in that league. I think Sunderland have still got a chance of automatic promotion. I think such is the form of Jobe, it will be very difficult to knock back any concrete and acceptable offers that come in.

You look at that club and it ticks so many boxes in so many ways.

Regardless of the fact his brother was there, and we know how successful he was, put that to one side and it’s still potentially a brilliant move. They are a great club, amazing fan base, great pedigree of being successful, as good a pedigree as anyone at bringing young players through. It would make sense.”

WOW.
