Kevin de Bruyne

@Oscar, how convenient to leave out the assists in the national team stats

It's 14 assists for KDB incl. Luxemburg game and 13 excluding.

How much's Oscar got? (Genuine question, cause I haven't checked)

Anyway, no point in comparing the two. They're both tremendous players with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Well here's the thing, Mourinho didn't had enough patience with him after a sub par performance, but he sure can do it for Ivanovic...

You need to have more patience for the younger guys not the older guys!

[yuvala 2,167]

This isn't a one-dimensional thing..

If KDB stayed it all would have been different.

De Bruyne has always been good for Belgium and in German football for both Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg, i think he will flop in England again and move to Bayern and look incrdible in Germany again.

He should celebrate. It wasn't us who developed him when he was a young player. He didn't play even 10 games for our team, so no hard feelings. I'm sad how his career here turned out

Double standards there, completely agree mate.

How he flopped in England ? As far as I remember he started 2 league games, played in 3 and was here only 6 months to be sold for then club-record fee to Wolfsburg. I think you have to do way more bad things than that to be flop.

dont know assists. Can't find the info?

Also, huge difference is that Oscar doesn't take most of the set pieces on brazil, its neymar. Taking away set pieces is huge for stats.

I read that KDB agreed to terms with Munich very quickly, but bayern dropped out a day or so later.

Makes no sense for Munich to take KDB or for Pep to try to implement him.

he absolutey did flop! there was a reason why he only played 2 league games, he wasnt strong enough mentally to fight his way back into the team and then his performance against Swindon was just embarrassing that was the final nail in the coffin for him, he was a huge flop for us! he wasnt treated unfairly he just had no fight in him to show Jose he should be in the team.

You are f'ing delusional. Jose fucked this one up big time. I told everyone about 250 pages ago DeBruyne would be a world class player and Chelsea would regret selling him because there are zero players in the world that play like him. He's the best long passer in the world.

I was saying the same thing also, doesnt mean he didnt flop at Chelsea, De bruyne couldnt perform under Jose simple as that

[sutro 1,026]

How can you flop when you had a grand total of 168 official playing minutes at a club?

Oscar had much worse games that KDB ever had,only difference is that Oscar is/was a favourite and KDB not.

The same thing happened with Cuadrado, somethings are just not meant to be. Better move on.

Move on yeah, but you can't compare KDB to Cuadrado at all. KDB was actually MOTM in the first game and had a great pre season (even though that holds little weight) as well. Not comparable whatsoever.

perhaps it wasn't KDB 's fault perhaps the fault lay elsewhere

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

The De Bruyne Mourinho thing something just isn't right. I just can't see a young kid with limited experience knocking down the managers door demanding he should be playing. I doubt even a seasoned pro would do it either. You start laying down the law to someone like Mourinho your going to be out on your ear pretty sharpish. We've dropped a bollock letting him go there is no doubt especially when you end up paying nearly 90 million quid for Willian, Cuadrado, Salah and Schurlle although i liked Schurrle inconsistent yes but i think we should have kept him another season or at least till January.

[stroey 2,525]

He will succeed big time, if he isn't played out of position. Playing him on the wing would be a waste, he should play 10 with Silva as the fake RW.

Aguero
Sterling-KDB-Silva

back ups: Bony, Navas, Nasri

I thought Silva played fake/half right winger last night for Spain and he did very well. Zabaleta will be on the wing most of the times with Yaya, KDB and Silva dominating in the middle.

Not joking, as a neutral fan, they are going to be fun side to watch. I said before the window shut '' If we can get a quality CM, I'd be happy and confident to battle with City''. Now we got none, I'm very disappointed and am very concerned.

There are miracles, maybe we can park the bus till January and get one, or we need Ruben to get chances and be a big surprise.
