Kevin de Bruyne

Sick. 9 goals and 9 assists in 18 games for City. Someone forgot to tell him English football is supposed to be a lot more strenuous and difficult.

I think it's fair to say going to Wolfsburg was a pretty good idea.

He'd have nowhere near 9 goals and 9 assists for us though. Mourinho's tactics would stifle his effectiveness and expressiveness. He's currently a great player playing in a great system. Here he'd be a great player playing in an awful system.

Can't that be flipped both ways tho,as Pellegrinis system is making some top class defenders look awful.

I've seen Mangala play before and no way is he the clown that people think he is, if we got him he would have been brilliant.

Yeah ok, but Pellegrini is at the top of the table and José is not. I'd take his tactics these days. I'd rather score 5 goals and concede 4 than score zero goals and concede one.

Sounds like you're saying you would rather win than lose. Revolutionary.

To be fair, I get what you're trying to say. It's just that you didn't quite say it.

Yes, and for the whole of last season that was reversed.

Point is no manager is perfect, and defending is part of the game so if its brought up that Jose wouldn't get what Pellegrino has out of KDB its only fair to say Jose woukd have got more out of Kompany, Mangala than what the Chillean has done.

Am I reading this right? There are some persons who say Mourinho did good by selling him? Is this really what I'm reading? Now they are quit, but please read a few pages back, I just don't understand....

Would show greatness if they would tell they where wrong in this one, so I'm waiting...

You should know by now Jose is NEVER wrong..Stats are completely irrelevant ..

Well he did right by the fact that he can't have a lot of creative player.

Mourinho is not an attacking coach but defensive.

It's the club fault for buying him and then getting a manager like Mourinho.

And since the club is backing Mourinho they could care less about such sales.

They just need to get players that fit more into Mourinho philosophy, simple as that.

We are not going to play amazing futbol from beginning to end with Mourinho.

Where are the apologies, where are the o boy I was wrong? Come on be a man and admit you where wrong.

Kevin is a top player,i think everyone with a brain agrees.

set the world alright again today I suppose? I haven't watched and as there not one single comment on this thread I can't say.

Since now it seems ridiculous to compare Hazard and Neymar, I wonder when will the comparisons between Neymar and de Bruyne will start.

People already say he's a top 5 in the world. So I suppose behind MSN and Ronaldo, Kevin is next one? Or is he better than Ronaldo? (It's really hard to argue against MSN).

[sir_volrath 61]

He was horrible

Gave the ball away sooo many times, horrible passing %. He's a flat track bully.

This thread is obviously bipolar.

I actually have no idea who comes behind Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo. Neymar is putting his foot next to the older two this season - I underestimated him. None of the others come even close, although I think Ronaldo is going to decline rapidly in the next two years, he doesn't seem that interested anymore.
