He reminds me a lot of Mata, with his world class passing ability, very good set piece taker, he see's a pass early like Mata and has the ability to open up a defence with one pass! he is like Mata but with more power and better defensive ability. Cant wait to see him progress this season!

If Barca takes all the credit for tapping up talents, why shouldn't we... no its our youth system... :P

In that case ... Yes, Chelsea has a world class youth system with "youth" players like Hazard, Oscar, KDB, Lukaku, etc :)

What I see in De Bruyne is a more versatile David Beckham with more pace, not quite as good set-pieces (but close enough to that godly level Beckham once possessed) and better shooting.

Both were never very good defensively but manage to make it work if deployed in a central or deep role. Both are gods at crossing. Both are magicians with long passes. Both have an awareness and vision which is oh-so rare. Only 1 inch difference in height. Both are incredibly 2 footed.

Sure, Beckham was deployed as an actual right-sided midfielder where-as De Bruyne has been deployed as more of a proper winger, but I really think they have uncanny similarities.

Feel free to compare De Bruyne to another 'great' if there's someone he's more similar to, but I think it'll be a struggle coming up with someone.

He has a Gerrard esque feel to him.

But what's great about him is that his ball passing and movement go with purpose and pace!

Not like mikel slow as shit sideways, backwards fuck me passing!

Yep, now that you mention it he's a bit Gerrard-esque indeed. Still, he looks more skillful than Gerrard.
