It was Mourinho that deprived us of him. Fucking hell look at the front lines we could've had.....

Pizy 18,909 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I think in this form he's currently the best midfielder in the world. Sensational player. Imagine him in our team. Oh, what could've been. 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How times have changed... I missed that one. Clearly some people on this forum can't see quality, but I don't understand how when you could see passing ability from Kevin that Chelsea lacked and, in fact, a level of passing ability along with accurate shot velocity that most clubs anywhere in the world lack. If you were watching Kevin at Genk in 2010, you would have seen his ability to whip the ball from the left wing and watched him cross better than most players in subsequent months and seasons. Also the vicious shots and fearlessness on the ball. Again (I've posted this previously): as much as the Fernando Torres deal was an awful action in January 2011, Chelsea managed to top that stupid move by dumping KDB without a buyback clause. So, now we can wait to see the dumb move in a single transaction. Can CFC top it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDB may never score as many goals as Lampard, but was surely had a good chance to be our most talented goal-producing machine in MF after Frank --with arguably much more dangerous passing and whip on his crosses than Frank ever displayed. kellzfresh and bigbluewillie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues.bridge 343 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Now everyone is good to say that KDB is a great player and willian a fuck*n' shit!

Personally, I feel the club made the right decision here. To me, his ability, play skills were exaggerated. Quote 16-12-2017: Pep Guardiola said Kevin de Bruyne is helping Manchester City become "a better institution" after the playmaker put in an inspired performance to help his side outclass Tottenham for a 16th successive Premier League victory that stretched their lead to 14 points. Some great reads in this post about KDB, predictions a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Funny how people are slagging Mourinho off for getting rid, NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND could have predicted his development. I went to a League Cup game in 2013 away at Swindon and he was, by far, the worst player on the pitch. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Miki-Liki 405 Posted December 17, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted December 17, 2017 Many people did though, and we'll never know why he was dropped despite being the best player in preseason and playing extremely well in his first game against Hull in 2013. Oh, well, it doesn't really matter now. Blusan Alamb, DDA, blues.bridge and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 KDB is like the polar opposite of Willian in terms of body vs mind. Willian has blistering pace and is probably one of the most skilfull players in the lague yet he is so slow in this mind that he can barely use this to his advantage. Kdb is not remotedly as quick (quick enough, probably a good trainer but not a born sprinter like Willian, Sane, Walker etc) and probably not as technically gifted as Willian but he produces and produced just with his sheer will, straightforward play and quick thinking always being ahead of the other in his mind. He never seemed to quite fit in here even though I thought that he showed flashes of brilliance in his brief time here. Also in Belgium nt he struggled to fit in with Hazard for some time, but right now I see no player who would better fit in that ROM in our 3-4-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Hull, I thought he was by far our best player and his pre-season form was very good too. It was obvious we let a good player go. We invested in him and did not actually wait to see him grow. It was a huge mistake from Mourinho, no two-ways about it. Mufassir08, laura90, Azpinator and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right in the sense that kdb was pushing for a permanent move away because of Mourinho and ultimately it did his career a world of good.Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
