Kevin de Bruyne

[ParNolio7 285]

I am cocky because city have not changed much other than sterling who we don't know if he will fully integrated.

City haven't changed much in terms of names but the real difference for me is the midfield.

Last year Fabregas was worldclass and Yaya was shite.

This year Fabregas started out shite and Yaya worldclass.

Midfield is what makes the difference. Sterling is nothing more than a nice addition. Just like Pedro will be to us.

But that's why I think City are favourites this year.

To make matters worse, Kompany 's gone back to topform while Terry/Cahill look ridiculous at times.

Of course, we're only two games into the season ... so let's keep our hopes up and keep the blue flag flying high!

And they added a little depth in midfield by Delph (not worldclass, but its not bad to have solid player on bench) and for sure they will sign someone more (Otamendi?)

Over anyone.

Hence why they elected him player of the year in the Bundesliga ... duh!!

Bastian was poty in 2013 and when pep took over was essentially overlooked.

KDB would not start on Munich, just like how he won't start in City, unless they do a Fernando Torres and start him because of the amount of money he was transferred in for.

[vandeveldejonathan 17]

So they're going to buy the most expensive player in both the premier league and Bundesliga and put him on the bench, despite him having played fenomenaly last years, both with Bremen, Wolfsburg and Belgium. And you know this because...?

I'm sorry mate but you're clueless.

[ParNolio7 285]

And you know this because...?

Because he's clueless ... I just said it! ;-)

No, we just have to deal with the fact that about 90% of us Chelsea fans and maybe 70% of English football watchers in general, will eternally regard KDB as an overrated, unprofessional, self-centered, lazy excuse for a footballer because they were indoctrinated by our beloved manager Mourinho, who never gives chances to cheap new players anyway (Cuadrado, Salah, De Bruyne, the list is endless) but needed particulary good excuses for dismissing De Bruyne who was already regarded internationally as a hot prospect when at Chelsea.

Anyone, however, who's actually seen De Bruyne play on a regular basis, for Genk, for Werder Bremen, for Belgium, for Wolfsburg, knows that he is a consistent world-class player. But seeing how none of these teams are English, Chelsea & PL fans in general see no reason to change "their" mind, which is actually Mourinho's mind, or not even Mourinho's mind but just what he said in order to have a proper excuse.

And that, my friends, is the one and only truth on De Bruyne vs The English Public.

So I really hope the City deal will come through and he'll become a PL legend, even if it means he'll have to score and assist twice as much as anyone else in order to convince the stubborn herd of Mourinho sheep.

[ParNolio7 285]

If only they would act in the player's best interests.

True, but I do believe a City move would be in his best interest as well, financially of course, but also from a challenge perspective.

just imagine how much or how badly KDB wants to score against Thibaut Courtois when MCFC play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 16 April 2016. If KDB becomes a City of Manchester Player.

If we add another quality CM I'd be happy and confident to battle them.

Get Witsel for our midfield, stones for the defense and tell KdB and city to bring it on

Even without stones, Zouma starting at the back to cope with aguero speed and we'll handle them

I'd be happy to see him fail living up to his pricetag

You're such a nice guy. ;-)

Haha I truly am in real life (and I try to be one on here aswell).

But honestly, I think any Chelsea fan deep down inside wants him to fail. Its not on a personal level obviously, but he's gonna be our rival's player.

Wouldn't be that difficult imo...

Sterling has played only 2 games so far, but he is no where near the price tag.

Thing with kdb is that if he plays RW, zabaleta will never start again and city will be forced to use sagna instead.
