Sunderland had to let go of Jobe Bellingham in the summer, but managed to reinvest the money wisely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bellingham left Sunderland to join Borussia Dortmund<\/a>, following in the footsteps of his brother Jude<\/a> in doing so.<\/p>\n

The deal saw the North-East outfit rake in a hefty amount of profit, as Sunderland were swift to replace Bellingham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other midfield signings have helped ease the pain of Bellingham<\/a>\u2018s exit for Sunderland fans, with Noah Sadiki making a good impression under Regis Le Bris<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While Sunderland<\/a> are flying in the Premier League, reports from Germany highlight the old saying that the grass isn\u2019t always greener, especially in Jobe Bellingham\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

\"JobeCredit: ImagoJobe Bellingham labeled as \u2018poor\u2019 by German media after Sunderland exit<\/p>\n

Jobe\u2019s brother Jude earned a career-defining move to Real Madrid after shining at Dortmund, and he likely viewed it as the ideal place to continue his impressive development.<\/p>\n

Bellingham has already come under fire for Dortmund<\/a> this season, but recent comments by German media have really shown just how much the former Sunderland man is struggling.<\/p>\n

TBR Football<\/a> have revealed exactly what German media outlets think of the midfielder after his performance against Athletic Club in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

German news outlet Ran said: \u201cAnother poor performance from the Englishman, who had few notable ideas with the ball and was repeatedly outplayed defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spox, another media outlet, gave Bellingham a rating of 4: \u201cThe new signing celebrated his Champions League debut in the starting eleven, beginning with a misplaced pass after two minutes, which Bilbao failed to capitalize on. <\/p>\n

\u201cOverall, he needs to put a bit more pressure on the ball carrier and be more dominant in one-on-one duels. His performance was hardly a case for a starting place.\u201d<\/p>\n

It looks like Bellingham\u2019s time in Germany hasn\u2019t started the way he would\u2019ve wanted to, as Sunderland are doing just fine without him.<\/p>\n

Bellingham could\u2019ve been thriving for Sunderland in the Premier League<\/p>\n

Bellingham was loved at the Stadium of Light<\/a>, and would likely still be starting under Le Bris<\/a> had he stayed.<\/p>\n

Currently, youngster Chriss Rigg has been playing in a free-roam number 10 position after Habib Diarra\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n\nMatches played<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\nAverage rating<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n5<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n6.64<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

With the added quality in the summer, Bellingham would most likely have been a success this season with even more talent around him.<\/p>\n

Sunderland are sat third in the most competitive league in the world, the Premier League, as the foundations were there for Bellingham to continue his development at the club.<\/p>\n
