Courtois his favourite number is 13 (or 26). So I doubt he will wear number 1 next season

Timothy Castagne, team mate of Charly Musonda Jr in the U21 team of Belgium: "We have a group with a lot of talent in it. Who the best player is? Charly has certainly impressed me the most. You can see that he trains every day with European top players in Chelsea, it is impossible to take the ball from him. He can become the big player of Belgium in the future." AS Monaco was interested in loaning him, but Mou has said that he couldn't leave Chelsea. Otherwise he was playing the quarter finals of the CL now.

Gervinho always was the striker/winger he connected the best with. So no surprise at all to see him in his dream team.

OMG, Eden Hazard has said to a French journalist that he wants to leave Chelsea for Bayern Munchen this summer. Bayern offers him almost the double of his Chelsea salary...

When you come behind in the 8th minute against Argentina and you create zero chances in a whole game with the attacking power we have, then you really suck big time at the tactical aspect of coaching. We will need to wait until the first decent team destroys us at the European Championship because our 'coach' is a tactical disaster. Who calls this guy a coach anyway? It's just a former player that does some random stuff.

Again, a typical Hazard game for the national team. 2/10. He really needs to step up his game for Belgium. Glad KDB was on the pitch, otherwise we would have created zero chances. Wilmots out please.

He was the best player at the field in the U21 game vs Moldavia. Seriously, try this lad out in the last 20 minutes of games instead of Oscar. We will improve for sure.

He found his system? By restricting KDB and let him work for the team. If it was this bad against Cyprus, it will be even much worser against stronger teams. We need Hazard AND De Bruyne. Not Hazard and some kid that only can work on the pitch. We certainly need a new coach that can get the best out of BOTH on the pitch. With Wilmots, that will never happen. KDB is a world class CM/AM, but as a winger he is too slow to be world class too. Another mistake by Wilmots.

KDB and Mourinho would never work by itself. So it's pointless to discuss further. But with an excellent attacking coach KDB and Hazard could be a mean machine. A lethal combo.

If you didn't notice that Hazard got a free role and De Bruyne didn't, there is something wrong with your eyes. And you really believe that Wilmots would give a free role to De Bruyne and Hazard at the same time? Wake up

Wtf? I'm not a Genkfan at all. And I only want a coach for Belgium that can make both shine for the team at the same time. It was obvious yesterday that Wilmots had given certain instructions at De Bruyne, he played a good game but was limited in the things he had permission to do. Ofcourse he switched sides after 30 minutes in the game, but that was instructed by Wilmots. That had nothing to do with freedom at the pitch. Hazard had a free role yesterday, and De Bruyne had a working role. It's a shame, because you don't need 10 workers at the field.

Ofcourse they can play perfectly together. It's just Wilmots that is tactical one big mess and brings a problem where there is no problem at all. With a normal coach that doesn't create tactical problems, they would shine together. A player that dribbles where you normally can't dribble with a player that passes where you normally can't pass, the combination of those two can finish every team in the world.

Let's not forget that De Bruyne was stuck to the side of the pitch and focused primarily at working for the team and gave the free role completely to Hazard. I think Wilmots has said too much to De Bruyne that he can't run in the way of Hazard. Yesterday, De Bruyne was too limited in his role, I missed his qualities sometimes in the game. The way we played against Cyprus can't be the way we wish to play.

He hasn't shown 10% for the national team of what he has shown for Lille or Chelsea. I guess the expectations are higher than scoring a goal sometimes.

Very good game by Hazard, but it was only against Cyprus and Nainggolan and Fellaini played better than him. He still has a long way to go in the Belgian national team.

Yeah, we will offer €30M and Wolfsburg will agree. That will definitely happen. Some people here live in dream worlds and need to come of their cloud. The double of €30M won't even be enough to buy him this summer.

About De Bruyne you can only say 2 things: 1. He never got a decent chance. He was our best player, or at least one of our very best players in preseason. And in the first PL game against Hull he was chosen MOTM. Then he was placed on the bench (against Aston Villa) for one game for no reason at all. Then against Man Utd the whole team sucked and he was the only one that got sacrifised. Against Everton he was benched for 90 minutes. And against Fulham he proved himself a lot in the 5 minutes he got, he came in very well. After that he played zero minutes in 16 PL games, zero minutes in the FA Cup, 26 minutes in 6 CL games and had to wait all the time to play in the league cup with other reserve players. Compare that with the chances other players have gotten while they kept on failing every game over and over again. 2. He is ranked number 4 in the world this season by the most important ranking site (whoscored.com). You can bring down his performances all you want if it makes you feel good. But you can't deny his statistics and this fact.

They should, because he played a very good game. Every player makes mistakes during the season, even the very best. And while I think it was certainly a mistake of Thibaut, I blame Iva more for that goal. Passing back at the goalkeeper in that situation is asking for a lot of trouble and a potential goal, and certainly when the pas is rubbish also. Thibaut should have gave away a corner, because the hunting players were too close to him to do anything else. I'm sure he will learn from it and that he will do that next time when Iva screws up again.

That Hull player was too close to him to kick the ball upfront, so he was obliged to do a dribble. Horrible decision of Iva and horrible pass too. 75% Iva's mistake, 25% Courtois' mistake

Ivanovic should never pass at Courtois in that situation. There are 2 players hunting close to Courtois, it is asking for trouble. You can't expect that your goalkeeper shows his excellent footballing skills against 2 hunting players. That being said, he could have done a lot better with it ofcourse.

I also would refuse United if I was De Bruyne. Fellaini is a funny player, if he gets a free role, he is one of the very best PL players. Certainly 10 times more dangerous in front of the goal than Mata. But if you tell him to do one thing, he always sucks. DDG likes Fellaini a lot, all of his goal kicks go straight to him because he wins every head duel and keeps the ball in the team after that.

The redcafe guys never read German and English newspapers, they were full of it this winter. 1. In January, different newspapers said that United wanted to buy De Bruyne the same winter transfer period. 2. 3 days before the end of that period, different newspapers said that Man Utd made an offer and that KDB could possibly still leave. 3. One day before the end of the winter transfer period, also different sources said that Wolfsburg refused an offer for De Bruyne of Manchester United. 4. Different newspapers stated that United wasn't interested anymore in De Bruyne, because they didn't want to go that high. 5. Different newspapers said that United had renewed interest in him and decided that they would make a higher offer in the summer transfer period.

His manager, Patrick De Koster, has said yesterday in France Football that Bayern Munchen, PSG and Man City are 3 of the clubs that are officially interested at the moment.

Mediastories ofcourse, so you can choose to believe them or not . But some stories have to be true. Like if you have read the 20 different mediastories I have read about De Bruyne and Man Utd, it is almost certain that United has bid for him around €40M and that Wolfsburg refused it this winter. I have also read that Man City will make an offer this summer from at least 13 different sources. But refused/planned offers will never be official news ofcourse, so we can only read between the lines.

And Man City will offer £35M (€48.29M) this summer. But Wolfsburg has already said that even €70M won't do the job.
