stroey 2,525 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sorry, you're right! It was Willian who was brought in moments after Mourinho called De Bruyne "a potential key player for this Chelsea". Salah was only in January.Yeah but Willian was a great buy IMO, not worth his price tag (yet) bus was very important and consistent last season. This season Willian isn't at his best yet, he must improve in attack!For KDB, I'm also dissapointed he left because he showed great potential in his loan spell in Germany. Mourinho loves hard working, pacy attacking players. That's why he bought Schurrle, Willian and Salah, and let KDB and Mata go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnythefirst 1,076 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Don't know how KDB could ever be catalogued as a player who doesn't work hard. Watch some of his matches for the NT: he's a beast. ParNolio7 and Blue-in-me-Veins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 He's good now cause he left. Had he stayed, he wouldn't be playing this well. johnnythefirst 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike 373 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Who is a better set piece taker? Cesc or KDB....The politically correct answer would always be Cesc, but Im not too sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cesc or KDB....The politically correct answer would always be Cesc, but Im not too sure...To be honest, KDB is not really brilliant at it.If he'd be in the starting 11, I would always want Januzaj to take our corners for example. But he's not. Our national team lacks a natural free kick taker at the moment. If only Luc Nilis was still playing. ^^ sureshot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season Willian isn't at his best yet, he must improve in attack! Of course, I'm not saying anything bad about Willian! I actually love this player. Check my profile and you'll notice that I got him down as my favourite.But that doesn't matter for KDB's case. Moments after he decided to stay at Chelsea because of what Mourinho said, a new AMR/C is bought for £££££££££. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as what @johnnythefirst is saying+A player with a bad workrate doesn't make it in the Bundesliga, the most physical competitions of all, let alone be one of the standout players.I think it's sad to see that any player dropped by Mourinho automatically gets a bad name: Lukaku, Mata, De Bruyne ... Just because Mou doesn't want them in his team, doesn't mean they are players with a bad attitude.

But from the moment Mourinho decided to use Oscar as his #10, Mata and KDB were played out of position as wingers and they aren't the type of wingers Mourinho likes. He loves wingers who are pacy and hard working, that's what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he bought Schurrle, Willian and Salah, and let KDB and Mata go.In every team he's played in, KDB has been one of the hardest working players. Ran the most miles in the Bundesliga at a certain stage last season. His workrate has been brilliant for the national team as well, both offensive and defensive with pressing the opponent.You could say that he needed to improve on his ball-winning-skills, as he lost quite a few battles for 50-50-balls in his Chelsea-period. But he wouldn't be the first to need some adapting entering the PL. Blaming him a lack of work-rate would be wrong though.Can't stop to think that, would he have gotten Willian's playing time last season, KDB would be a first team player for Chelsea this year. zolayes and ParNolio7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cesc or KDB....The politically correct answer would always be Cesc, but Im not too sure...Cesc by far. De Bruyne's aren't great. His crossing in open play is immense though. zolayes, ParNolio7, Nike and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it is with those Chelsea Brazilians nowadays, but they just run & work like crazy! That said, KDB would've made up for that in football intelligence. Few players are as smart as he is on the pitch. Comparable to Cesc in that aspect. Not quite there yet of course, but with the same amount of experience, this player will be a monster! I'd be very surprised if we won't see him play for Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund next season or the one after. Like to know the reaction then of the people here saying that he "didn't have the right attitude to make it at a top team". It's a shame that these players leave The Bridge with that kind of stamp on their face, without any reason. zolayes and Chelsea? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
