Kevin de Bruyne

[the wes 7,212]

If city pulls this transfer, they will spend 200m eur in this summer on new players...

how the fuck are they get past the financial fairplay rule

how the fuck are they get past the financial fairplay rule

Can people seriously read up before posting like this all the time?

It has been relaxed mainly because of EPL making a lot of money in TV!

Even if Man City splash 58m on De Bruyne, it doesn't mean De Bruyne is a 58m worth player, like Lescott wasn't worth 22m and so many others (of course we did exactly the same in the past). He's good, but far from being world class.

Put Oscar in a Bundes team and he'll have better stats than De Bruyne.

Put Willian in a Bundes team and...no he won't score anyway.

Jog on with your nonsense and have a word with yourself.

Oscar will never be remotely close to KDB and he wouldn't tear up the Bundesliga like De Bruyne.

No clue why certain people cannot admit that KDB is a top notch player.

You don't think he was a good fit for Chelsea and Jose fine no problem with that opinion but suggesting he's just decent/good player just makes you look ignorant.

No doubt he's got quality but I'll wait until KDB proves himself in the EPL before saying he's a top notch player

Hahahahahahahahaha ! You win the delusional of the year award. Congrats! Do you even football?

No way Oscar would have better stats. He isn't that kind of player nor has the talent. It would mean he would have to make best player of the league as well.

Please, be real dude. Oscar hasn't done anything past few years to warrant such a bold claim despite our high hopes for him after that one night against Juve. Before you say Mickey Mouse league, think how we would have looked playing Bayern a week ago....

I agree wif this and he will probably throw the head up if he's on the bench like he did at Chelsea

@Sir Mikel OBE: he can play as a right winger, done so many times for Belgium, has one of the best crosses around, about 75% of his assists are coming from crosses, but he does like to cut inside alot, unlike Navas, which may indeed cause trouble with the likes of Silva & Yaya already roaming around there. I think they mainly purchased him as successor for Yaya when he leaves next year. I remember they were already looking at him last season when Yaya's departure seemed imminent (or however the f*** you write that)

He can play there but would you really want him to? He's decent at best on the right imo.

It really is very likely De Bruyne will be a massive flop for City, and be seen as a bigger flop then Di Maria, Carroll and Torres, De Bruyne just doesnt suit the PL and doesnt suit Man City's style of play, he doesnt seem like a player that can adapt also, this transfer has flop written all over it.

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

I agree he shouldn't play on the wing unless absolutely necessary.

For Belgium for example, I would always put him in the centre with Hazard and Januzaj as very offensive wingers.

There is no such thing! People need to forget about it now!!!

that would be funny if that was to happen

That or he wins poty, thats also very likely, its 50/50 sigh

Well that's Chelsea fault not City or FFP.

I would play Kevin Mirallas ahead of Januzaj simply because you can't have 3 AMs who love the ball at their feet.
