Chelsea? 892 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 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.alot goes into mou's dicisions other than performance on the field. I have a feeling he and KDB and an ego clash and he let the kid go 11Drogba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 He didn't lack workrate. People who say he doesn't work hard think working hard equals good defence. Jose doesn't care if you run 15km or 10km, if you do your job you're good enough to rely on.KDB worked hard but his actuall defending was horrible, players could easily get past him, he couldn't tackle or even press properly, he just lacked any defensive technical abilities and awareness.Hazard was the same when he first joined, dude was just clueless what to do when opposition had the ball. He wasn't lazy, he just didn't know what to do and where to go when defending. He's gotten so much better now, so much so that I would say he's not a liability at all on defence. Sure, KDB could have gotten there eventually but neither he or Jose seemed to have the patience to make it happen.I'm a huge KDB fan, loved the guy and was hoping he'd become first choice with us but he disappointed me tbh. Didn't take his chances whenever he got them and I'm sad he left, however I think he made a good decision for himself and I know we got decent money for him too but I'd rather he stayed and continued to fight even if had cost him a year or so on the bench just learning the tactical side of the game.

Fernando 6,585 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 So any buy back clause? I probably doubt it, but the best thing we could have done was ask for a first refusal to buy, like Arsenal did with Fabregas....but they pass it up, the idiots!

lionsden 4,689 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 From a technical standpoint he remains a superior player to Oscar and Schurrle and it's hypocritical that the same people claiming it was the right decision to sell after the limited chances he had, which prompted him to seek more playing time elsewhere in fear of losing his place in the NT are the same people that advocate patience for other players in the team that have gone through far worse barring spells and given significantly more leniency than KDB did while he was here. Nobody could convince me that having him that we made the right decision. Blue-in-me-Veins and Amblève. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody could convince me that having him that we made the right decision.I take Oscar over him any day of the week as he gives us better balance. And now that we got Fabregas he is far superior to KDB, there was no room for him. Good sell however as mentioned before a refusal to first buy would have been awesome, cause in 2 or 3 years later down the road a space might open up for him in our team. So we did the right thing in selling him and he did the right thing moving on. As he need to continue to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnythefirst 1,076 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Well thank god Lukaku is still struggling then. ;-)But Kevin really had to go away to develop. He wouldn't be doing this if he'd stayed. Good for him, and you got a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar went through 9 months of terrible form, Schurrle has been crap through out the season (bar the opener against Burnley), Salah has been beyond hopeless since we signed him, Willian is his unproductive self and the biggest example of leniency of them all Torres who earned a killing for close to 4 years of abject mediocrity.

Still there were plenty of posters on here that sided with Jose and lambasted KDB's "lack of workrate" and said he's had enough chances and failed to take them and that "he's not suited to the system". I won't name names, they know themselves. Blue-in-me-Veins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom2013 446 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 He was horrible in here in almost every game he played. There is no doubt about that, he was not good enough for CHelsea... a team that want to win European cups and everything in England.And compaired with Willian, Oscar, Schurlle he was really bad defensively, Not good enough for a big team... a player like Mata can't play in CHelsea and Man United... I don't see where is the surprise in KdB situation for CHelsea since he is a lot worst than Mata. darrus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
