🇧🇪 Kevin de Bruyne

[Hamilton 2,120]

Talking to voetbalkrant.com KDB's manager declared they are waiting the evaluation from him from Chelsea. A lot of clubs allready called but he's not mentioning names out of respect.

[lionsden 4,689]

The moment we stupidly and unnecessarily splashed out on two wingers (willian and schurrle) in the summer. it signaled the end of

KDB's as a chelsea player. wherever he goes in jan or summer, I wish him well.

[nyikolajevics 2,700]

That'd be a shame, the lad is 22.

I think we should just sell him.. He is only 22, but Hazard and Oscar are also 22, Schürrle is 23, Willian and Mata are 25, they all havce long term contracts.

[Barbara 15,149]

If he goes to La Liga I hope it's not on loan. There's nothing in La Liga that would help a player - whoever that may be, except the GK position - to become a better player for EPL. Talk about opposite leagues... so Kevin or whoever else that might go there, must be offloaded, not loaned, because a loan to LL doesn't do a favor to Chelsea at all.

That said, I hope he doesn't leave for good... but then I ask myself, would it be fair with him to stay? I see Schürrle, Willian and Hazard flourishing for us for years to come... if we have 4 great players for two spots, I'm sure one of them would want out. Willian and Hazard are the best we have right now for the wings - one on current form (being on his prime), the other potentially. So I think Kev would compete directly with André... I'd say Kev is the superior player, but we don't have another winger like André (fast, straightforward, direct, takes on as many markers presented ahead of himself, etc) and I guess he's more useful in the system we currently use, so even if Kev is technically better than André, I think André is more suitable to us.

Then we could think of him as a CAM, but I think we've got that covered with Oscar and Mata and in all honesty between Willian and Kev as a third option to play central, Willian all day long. One of the best aspects of Kev's game going forward is his cross, so he's better off in the wings, especially when we look at his competition for the central position: three players who play their best football centered...

We didn't need to sign both, 1 would have been enough, but i certainly i'm not complaining. They both offer something different and are very suited to Mourinho's style.

Today in belgium press: Chelsea are not reluctant to sell De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne seems more and more to be finished at Chelsea. Working on his last months The attacking midfielder was the club may finally abandoned. You know The News .

Next month De Bruyne know the plans of the club. Coach Jose Mourinho, however, would no longer veto oppose a sale. Mainly from Germany, there is much interest. For example, VfL Wolfsburg is very interested. The club wants to buy the former player of KRC Genk ankle. Renting is not an option. Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 also show interest, but both clubs De Bruyne was not quite sure of a starting spot. Wolfsburg did. De Bruyne Chelsea took about eight million. That amount will more than likely recover.

Best of luck KDB,I'll support him wherever he goes.

[Jack Uzzi 54]

Leverkusen or Dortmund not interested anymore?

[The only place to be 11,313]

Unfortunately he seems to be fucked. It isn't just the likes of Oscar and Mata that are the problem, but also the emerging talents like Boga and Traore who will also be looking for minutes in the near future.

Good luck to him wherever he goes, but hopefully we make a profit on him at the very least.

You're right. I don't see him benching Schurrle anytime soon. And rightly so, because he's also young and he's been very very good.

Kevin is inconsistent right now. He needs matches to gain form, and he'll never get them with this opposition.

I hope he'll go back to Germany. It's a perfect league for him, lot's of running and powerplay. Spain I would like less.

[ParNolio7 285]

Kevin is actually a very technical player with a fantastic touch. That's how little we've seen him play at Chelsea ...

So I'd much rather see him in la liga, but indeed as a sale, not on loan, no value in that for Chelsea except perhaps increasing his market value again ... but that has nothing to do with football

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

Fuck me the Belgian media really hate Chelsea and Jose, trying to indicate he wants to sell KdB... Jose likes a really strong squad, he doesn't want to sell anybody, he would maybe loan him but can't see him selling him unless it was a ridiculous offer of £25 million or more for a pretty much unproven player with one good season in a very good league but for a pretty average team where he was the best player...

[zolayes 14,489]

time to sit back and be patient ,,very few come into the PL and hit the ground running ,, WE are lucky this year that we can afford to give KDB a year to learn and settle.

It seems imo (which usually doesnt count for much ) atm ,he isnt ready , This doesnt mean we should sell him or loan him out ...

The best place for him to learn the Chelsea way is at the Bridge

[Strike 7,489]

It's a shame about KdB. He had a good pre-season, started vs Hull and had a good game as well. Willian was probably brought in probably because Jose felt that he needed 1 more direct player but KdB has been lost in the shuffle due to that.

Even if KDB is sold, we're going to have a strong group of attacking midfielders.

[Neira 19]

In the stands again. Run Kevin, run... Get away asap and as fast as possible.

[Fernando 6,585]

As long we are still winning, such players are dispensable.

Chelsea is a big club and players will come and go.

Look at how Mata was the best in the last two seasons, but now with a new manager and an improved player in Oscar, Mata has been put to the bench.

If he is not good enough for us, then he will leave simple as that.

But the club will still move on.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Could really learn a lot from Azpilicueta. Both were in similar situations at the start. Looking at it now, Azpi had a terrific game, while KDB was left out. All about work ethic. I don't see any another reason why Jose would leave him out. Considering we mostly played a 4-3-3 throughout the game, KDB could have slotted in without much of a problem.

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

Not a sniff again today, if Lampard is gonna move to an attacking role as he played today, that'll mean even less chances for Kevin.

I agree, altough Azpi hasn't got to deal with 5 class players on his position=)
