🇧🇪 Kevin de Bruyne

[DDA 9,938]

I remember when I read somehwere that KdB was rated as having a higher potential than Eden Hazard in Belgium by the footballing touts. 

Eden is a classy player and at his best unstoppable but KDB seems to be more effective with consistency!

 

Mourinho really fucked us with this one. Oh and Mata and Lukaku ermmm anymore!! 

Retard!

[Essien19 1,415]

Best player in the league so far, today he's unbelievably good. Pep is working wonders for City.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

That assist for Gundogan was better than his goal.

Love Lampard as player but Kevin is a different player. Faster and technically much better than Lamp

 

I think he's quite unique, KDB. One player I would liken him to is mid 2000s Gerrard, when he had a bit more pace.

Yup people were complaining about our board dumb team building. We had Kevin, Lukaku and Felipe Luiz in our team.  For some reason somebody didn't want them and didn't want to play them

Good shout. Less powerful than Gerard but better movement

Ok guys, why the heck Chelsea bought Schurrle and Willian in 2013 when they already had Mata, Hazard, Oscar and KdB ? One of them ok but two ? Wouldn't it be wiser to spend 30m£ on central-midfielder since we started that season with only  Ramires, Lampard, Essien and Mikel ?

That's what f*cked KdB here. 6 AMs for 3 spots with reluctance to rotate.

This guy has Gerrard written all over him and top season behind. Board would be huge idiots to loan or even sell him. Instead of ud, should he be player of Bvb, the whole fucking world would want him and he would be worth 25mio with ease to compare with today prices. But as he is chelsea player, we would sell him for 15mio. Ffs Porto rates Mangala for 30. 30! Last time for us to start rating our players higher. Kdb is certainly player for future and I want him at Sb next season.

Once ours, now best player at City and still very young. 

In the end, its just very sad that no one at chelsea saw what me and plenty of other fans saw.

You know, United had same thing with Pogba, Barca with Thiago, but we are the club that cant afford such stupid shit.

The problem is, we dont learn shit. Kenedy who IMO could end up a realy good player, but Im certiain that we will fuck it up somehow.

[The Chels 2,502]

In hindsight selling KDB was a mistake but things like that can happen. The real problem was the lack of a buy-back clause.

At least the board seem to have learnt their lesson with the Thorgan Hazard sale.

Wata player he's made mourinho look like a fool for selling him

Part of me is a bit relieved that all this happened under Mourinho. Because for many years no one can do better. The big shadow of Mourinho at the club was a bad thing for everyone. 

But after his second spell everything fell apart and now the club no longer has that shadow lingering around.

Now it's more like as long as you don't do bad as Mourinho last season then you should be okay. 

With Mourinho we went from the sublime to the ridiculous. One extreme to another.

That shadow is still lingering around as most of the first team squad are 'Mourinho' players.

We should have sold some of the first team regulars (like Matic, Ivanovic, Oscar) and brought in fresh faces in the transfer window 

Our squad is the same as last season apart from 1-2 changes...and as a result, we will continue to see the poor form/inconsistencies from last season.

Conte is a fresh face but everything I've read/heard about him from Juventus/Italy supporters suggests that he is a man motivator, rather than a brilliant tactician.

It will be interesting to see whether we can finish in the top 4 this season...as our only convincing performance has been against Burnley

He reminds me on a weekly basis how much of an idiot Mourinho is.

How can you have a kid like this training in front of you on a daily basis and just say 'nah, Oscar is better'? I mean, how is it possible? How much of a stubborn bastard do you have to be?

Kevin De Bruyne's form an embarrassment for Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, says Sunday Supplement panel

 

Kevin De Bruyne's superb form for Manchester City is an "embarrassment and a nightmare" for both Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, according to the Sunday Supplement panel.

Chelsea, under Mourinho, sold the Belgium international for £18m to Wolfsburg in January 2014 with De Bruyne having made only eight appearances for the Blues.

But after being named German Footballer of the Year in his first full season at the Volkswagen Arena, City brought him back to the Premier League for a club record fee of £54.5m in the summer of 2015.

 

Last season, De Bruyne scored 16 goals in all competitions for City in a campaign blighted by injury but it's his form under new boss Pep Guardiola,who said the Belgian is on a level behind only Lionel Messi after he starred in Saturday's 4-0 win over Bournemouth, that has taken all the headlines so far this term.

And the Daily Telegraph's Matt Law thinks De Bruyne's Chelsea departure shows some of the flaws in Mourinho's management style.

"It's a nightmare for Chelsea," Law told the Sunday Supplement. "He made eight appearances for Chelsea, not starts just appearances.

"It's an embarrassing situation for Chelsea but I think it does lay at Mourinho's door. It shows his flaw with young players and managing situations in that he couldn't manage the situation to a point where he could show De Bruyne that there could be a place for him in that team.

"Mourinho claims that he told the board he wanted to keep him and did not want to sell him, but the lad himself had decided he needed to play and that he wanted to go. He made it clear there was no stopping him.

"He [Mourinho] questioned his mentality once he'd gone and said he didn't want to fight for a place, he just wanted to be given a place and that's been made a mockery of since.

"When he did play in his few appearances for Chelsea he was stuck out on the wing. He was a young kid and his physique wasn't quite what it is now, but since it has been shown he's far better centrally.

Law added: "If you think as well, Mourinho was hailed at the time for that bit of business by some of us because he got rid of De Bruyne and with that money he brought in Nemanja Matic and the next season they won the league. That was seen as a key deal that one player out to get Matic in but long term it's an absolute disaster.

"It must be awful for them watching what he's doing now and I just can't ever seeing Mourinho trusting to play a player like De Bruyne in the centre. He would now that he's proven but I don't think he would ever have trusted him as a kid to play in the centre in the role he really wanted to."

De Bruyne has started the season in sparkling form, helping City, who sit top of the Premier League table, to five wins from their opening five games under Guardiola.

The 25-year-old has scored two league goals and grabbed three assists playing in a central role under Guardiola and Law thinks the Spaniard has had a plan for De Bruyne for a while.

"I'm pretty certain Guardiola had an input into his signing even though it was some time before the Spaniard officially came in," Law said.

"I know people at City aren't going to be delighted with me saying that or people at Bayern Munich but I'm convinced that Guardiola had a say.

"Looking at the way he's used him and the way he's hailed him, it looks like he's had a plan for him for a while."

The Times' Oliver Kay also called the De Bruyne situation uncomfortable for both Chelsea and Mourinho, while the Daily Star's Jeremy Cross signalled former City boss Manuel Pellegrini out for praise after he signed the player from Wolfsburg.

"It is embarrassing," Kay said. "It's embarrassing for Mourinho, it's embarrassing for Chelsea. I suppose if he was at any other club Chelsea could think of buying him back for three times more than they sold him for and do their usual buy-back policy. It's an uncomfortable situation for the club."

And Cross told the Supplement: "Full credit to Pellegrini for signing him. They spent a lot of money on him but he saw in the player what Mourinho missed."

Like some people have said, had Mourinho gotten Messi when he was young he would have never made it with him....

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Pep says only messi is better than him, and its hard not to agree.
