capriccioso 2,545 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Is he going back out on loan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomo 20,206 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nic! 296 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ack17 205 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 He's better loaned out to Hamburg next season... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joshyboy 36 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spike 12,048 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hopefully he pulls a Sturridge in the Preseason and gains the confidence of AVB. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kez 2,727 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Melanicus 5,208 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 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: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
