Kevin de Bruyne

i think he will perform better than hazard

Wouldn't surprise me. He will have a better platform and better group of players to work with.

Ah, are you guys still calling the Bundesliga a Mickey Mouse league? You do realize England was the only one of the top 8 leagues that didn't have a team in any European Quarter finals last year right? Even Belgium had one, and we pay our players in peanuts.

I said it before. Your league is overrated. You have the broadest base in world football, which is great, but you haven't had a world beater team for years. When has an English team won a CL final without being the underdog? I guess the last time was Man Utd in 99 because their wonder generation was at the top of their game at the time (sorry guys, but you kinda were underdogs in 2012).

How many true world class players moved to an English team in the past four or so years? Hazard maybe, Aguero maybe. All of the other ones are players that Barca, Real or Bayern didn't want. Ronaldo moved away, Suarez moved away, Bale didn't go to a Premier League team, Neymar moved straight to Barca. Fabregas moved away when he was considered world class. Neither him nor Pedro would be anywhere near Chelsea if they managed to keep a starting spot at Barca. It's harsh but true.

The Premier League has all the money in the world but none of the vision. I hope Kevin will not become a victim of that mentality.

I totally agreed with you about the Premier League being in decline for the last 4/5 years, but in my opinion still levels above the Bundes (with the exception of Bayern which is clearly better than any PL team). Referring to La Liga clubs apart from Real and Barca as championship material was the real BS. But things might change next year with the new tv rights deal (and i think it will), even if money wasn't the reason because the funds have always been there but badly spent (I can mention for example how Tottenham spent the treasure generated by Bale's sale).

Sorry mate, i might have missed the post where you kindly replied to my statement about Oscar potentially having better stats than De Bruyne in Bundes.

My pc just showed me the one where you sounded offending and bullying. My answer was more a joke than pure serious.

Anyway, i don't wanna get involved in arguing about De Bruyne while our team look dogshit and it seems like no real game changer player (besides Pedro) will join us at the moment. He's the smallest of our problems.

Lol a Joke right? Ha ha . It could not have been more stereotyping, off the mark, misquoting, etc. The beer and mussels, ha ha.

Maybe mine was also a joke, see that funny Pino in it?

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

signed for the enemy now so for the first time since he left I care what he does. never wish any player has a serious injury (well unless they are a dirty leg breaker,then it`s not so bad) but never wish a player for a rival club has success either.

Fuck!

Cech - Arsenal

Mata - United

Sturridge - Liverpool

De Bruyne - City

Lukaku - Everton

[Pizy 18,454]

Unbelievable team they have. Even the areas of their XI we all figured would be weaknesses have been great so far.

[Atholy 1,293]

Cech - Arsenal

Mata - United

Sturridge - Liverpool

De Bruyne - City

Lukaku - Everton

I really cannot believe how this all happened in only 2-3 years! All top squad players... all to rival teams!

[Billy. 2,742]

got a feeling he is going to smash it for them

We have to pray he doesn't.

If he does then with Yaya and Silva they are going to talk the league this year. Not even mentioning they have two of the best strikers in the league in front of them.
