Maybe the scout not saying much to De Bruyne isn't actually a bad thing. He hasn't exactly been the best midfielder in the Bundesliga at Werder (especially in this new year) so doesn't deserve special praise and having his bum kissed, but at the same time he hasn't been bad at all (he's been good & solid I'm sure we could all agree), thus there's not actually really any comments for a scout to make other than 'keep going' as the loan is going as planned. Also, since the scout likely has little to no say in whether we even bring De Bruyne back at any point, he probably couldn't say anything with conviction to Kevin.
