I do question why Brighton are letting him go out on loan for a second successive season and do not want to use him?
It's not like he is completely inexperienced. He's played 50 games for Brighton.
Or why Chelski haven't signed him for £70m?
Oh well, hopefully he's the creative link we're sorely missing. Surely can't be any worse than what we've seen so far.

he wouldn't be coming to Leeds if clubs higher in the prem wanted him, that's how it works!

Is he a good defender is the main question
'Indeed, both the Brighton starlet and Bellingham rank in the top 25 per cent for tackles, interceptions, blocks, clearances and aerials won when compared to other attacking midfielders over the last 365 days, offering some insight into the pressing benefits of having him in the team.'
YES!! I'm living in SCARBADOS!! Underneath the palm trees!
There’s a lot of fans having a go at the Leeds recruitment for this but it’s just the way of things - players happy to wait it out as long as possible for something better to come up - most don’t care about game time or careers, it’s just about the money for them and their agents.
Chelsea are just a player trading organisation now, who play a bit of football on the side.
I was suspicious of the reasons why he didn't travel yesterday. His agent & Buonanotte obviously got wind of the interest from Chelsea, and made up the story the plane was broken. The twat doesn't need to move from mini-London to the capital with this move.
Point is, how many appearances will he get at Chelsea?
Well if this is all true and he prefers Chelsea to Leeds then so be it. If his heart really wasnt in it to come and play for us then better off without him.
You dont miss what you never had

How much he plays doesn’t matter to Chelsea, the player or his agent, all that matters is the money they make along the way - as I said above Chelsea are just a commodity trader, they realise even idle players can be sold for more than the initial outlay and the amortisation + the bankable money from sales will ultimately help with profit and sustainability.
Guys you got to ask why ! are they offering more money it can't be game time they are overloaded with players ,is better quality players to learn from or is it he didn't like what farke was offering .I think there is a big issue with recruitment either with how it's presented or don't like the way farke works and still no marquee signings ,so do we go for Solomon and that ain't a bad move imo.
