johnnythefirst 1,076 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Sorry, seen JC once in my life and yes he was called that. KD will shine!!!Seriously, please watch some videos of both players and then convince me of the similarities in playing style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Can't wait to see him shine in EPL. Saw him play live twice and woooooooooow........He's so special, so full of inspiration, so effectice, so cool. His passing is sublime. That's why they call him the new Johan Cruyiff.Grow up.KDB is a lot better than Cruyff ever was. Weckerz and BlueLion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton 2,120 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Kortrijk coach Vanhaezebrouck ones compared him with Cruijff, think it was in Extra Timehttp://www.benefoot.net/vanhaezebrouck-on-de-bruyne-and-comparisons-with-johan-cruijff/ Coop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moros 86 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hein said it a few times, though personally I don't agree with him, he's a different type if you ask me. The only thing they really have in common was vista and talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop 114 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Lets hope we can see Kevin play tonight.I don't compare him to Cruif, its really hard to compare him to anyone.He is just good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnythefirst 1,076 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yes, it will be very interesting to see how he'll make the jump from being the shining star in an otherwise shitty team (Bremen) to a squad like Chelsea. Very comparable situation to Lukaku (whose team was better, yes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 4, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted August 4, 2013 Cruyff was all about elegance and ego. He invented tricks not for them to be effective but just to be cool, he scored goals just for the sake of it, he dribbled past players effortlessly just because he could. Cruyff was an artist, playing football for football's sake.Kevin is no artist. Kevin is a crafter, doing his very best with the target always in mind. He makes things happen, runs to help the team, always looking for the best pass to get us nearer to the goal, taking the shot when he has the opportunity.Both - artist and crafter - have their place in football. I don't like those "the next xy" terms but when one uses them one should at least wait unitl mentality and style are characteristic for a player. There is no use of slapping a "the next xy" tag on a kid who has not even found his onw path himself. Now at 22 years you can make such judgement over KDB. But honestly, do we really need to?

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Remember when me and a few others spent a whole month telling everyone Schurrle would be a needless signing and KDB would outperform him in any position?That quartet of KDB, Oscar, Mata and Hazard could easily be the best midfield in English history if we continue to surround them with the players to maximize their talents.

Schurrle's signing was good because we really needed it for the squad depth and the different type of player he is.Schurrle, Hazard, Mata, KDB, Oscar & Moses for the -3- behind the striker is absolutely brilliant IMO because it offers tactical variety and balance all in different ways.I said it from the start that the Schurrle signing has nothing to do with KDB and that I'd love to have both in the squad, and I'm delighted it looks like we're actually doing so.

As much as i love the cup win's in recent season's i would happily see less of them for sustained league success. Duppy Conqueror 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouri_Matic 560 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 This guy got a lot of potential, even more than Oscar imo. Also he seems like he is really out to prove a point this season, he worked hard in every single match he has been in for us this preseason. He is a bit like Ramires but slower and are better technically. He can attack well, not the flashy type of Hazard and not as good but he can also defend well when required. Even though he seems small his stamina is quite good. If he can stay clear of injuries, he could be better than Wilshere imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
