Birmingham City retire number 22 shirt 16:09 - Jul 23 with 2782 viewsyorkshireblue

Top talent, but I'd say this was OTT for a 17 year old who has played less than 50 games for the club?

have retired the no.22 shirt after Bellingham's move to Dortmund.

How bizarre.

It's a stupid idea, but also meaningless.

No one craves the 22 shirt, so it won't be missed.

It's not like AC Milan retiring the No5 shirt for Resi.

Stupid and pointless idea.

Town retired the No 9 shirt years ago - they just haven't made it public .

They are hoping he makes it big, at which point they can point to this and benefit from the name and publicity.

Have over 500 appearances for the same club and make a huge difference and then maybe I'll forgive it. Maldini anyone?

Edit - I believe Milan have said that only a Maldini can wear the number 3 shirt (so loop hole for one of his sons).

I know he's 17 but playing a single season for a less than impressive and largely crud Brum side is not noteworthy. He may have sold for a load of money, but that doesn't mean he's going to suddenly go from being a half good Championship player to a Champions League player. He could vanish into thin air like many do these days. Remember Peles prodigy? No? No one does and he was paid millions. Retiring the shirt is a joke.

Should we build a Tyrone Mings statue just because? Name a stand after Cresswell? Rename the fanzone the Daryl Murphy Night Out.....

I'd give this a read, Dortmund are rarely wrong with their recruitment.

Another ridiculous thing taken from American sport.

There was a vicious takedown by a female fan that went with that video originally. I can't find it now. Dougie seemed to take it in good spirits though, to be fair to him.

Not one of our better signings for sure.

Sincerely one of the most inept and ineffective professional footballers I have ever seen. I said at the time that you could have taken almost any Ryman level midfielder from a local club and he would have done a better job.

What's worse than the fact we signed him is that week-in-week-out he put in those kind of performances yet he was continually selected.

I was a big McCarthy fan, but to play Douglas when he clearly offered next to nothing to the team was a real head scratcher.
