He's amazing. Simple. And you know what our team lacks? Competition for places. Why do you think our players are so casual and play with little drive and heart? Because they all know (well, Mata and co, Terry and co, Torres etc.) that they're automatic choices no matter how badly they perform. They don't need to put effort in if they can't be bothered. Pjanic would keep Mata, Hazard, Oscar on their toes. As for this being bad for De Bruyne, judging from his recent interviews, I doubt he'll make it here. He seems to think he's a little better than he is. He wants to be a starter. He's said if he's not a starter, he'll just move elsewhere. How on earth will he start over Hazard/Mata/Oscar though? Play in the double pivot? If so, then this Pjanic move doesn't effect him.
