Welcome Kevin!

Is he going back out on loan?

[Tomo 21,395]

I can see De Bruyne becoming our new Damien Duff.

Never going to be a Messi or Ronaldo but fits in to the team almost perfectly, so thats Duff finally replaced after 5 and a half years(effectively 6 given the loan back), now we just need to find someone to replace Robben.

Chelsea's Director said he thinks that Chelsea's plan for Kevin is to do the same as with Courtois. Loan him again next year.

But that's how Chelsea sees it now. I think this will be decided based on his pre-season.

Only an hour late... an improvement.

He's better loaned out to Hamburg next season...

In my opinion sell Kalouda come the end of the season and bump De Bruyne up to the first team squad, hes won the Belgian League and played In the Champions League so its not like he needs to start in the reserves, maybe see how he fares in pre season first but I really don't think we can afford to send him out again after this season

Hopefully he pulls a Sturridge in the Preseason and gains the confidence of AVB.

Welcome to the Chelsea Kevin and all the best in your career!

Finally a true winger has come to the Bridge.

Only an hour late... an improvement.

Gourlay's FIFA crashed so he updated it earlier then usual

Courtois, KDB, Hazard, Lukaku? Possible Chelsea lineup in the future.

a poor man's Hazard

It's great that he can speak English (his mother was born in Ealing, West London)...

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Get in there! Welcome to Chelsea Kevin! :blue scalf:

[Kez 2,727]

Welcome to Chelsea Kevin! I'm sure I'm not the only one a bit frustrated that he's going back to genk for the rest of the season. I hope that's not the end of signings for us today.

a poor man's Hazard

I rather take a poor man's Hazard than Malouda and Kalou.

[Melanicus 5,208]

Finally a true winger has come to the Bridge.

Why everyone is saying he's winger? He isn't. He's attacking midfielder, who can play anywhere upfront.

Anyways... Welcome Kevin! :cfc:
