Kevin de Bruyne

[bushman 2,043]

I believe the club thinks in this same way. That's why the squad is so thin and just one striker brought in because Sturridge wanted out so they needed cover. Having Rafa who was there when Torres was great and now looking at the results with both of them will make Roman realize it's a lost cause and having spent a season in the EPL did Lukaku a lot of good. Belgium's national squad is on the rise and Chelsea want to benefit from that having several of the starters in their club. Hazard wants De Bruyne in the squad and it'll happen for sure. I feel like I'm giving Emenalo credit here and maybe when all is said and done he'll look like a genius but him allegedly suggesting Rafa irks me but I can see why when so much was paid for Torres and they wanted their investment to pay dividends.

What dividends Chelsea have got out of Ferda so far ?

I know, one clown on the pitch, an amusement show, hide & seek show...

That quote from KDB about Chelsea was lifted from an interview on DH.be..

http://www.dhnet.be/sports/diables-rouges/article/424087/de-bruyne-chelsea-m-a-dit-que-je-progresse-bien.html

Reading the original article, and comparing it the the insidefutball one, the later seems a bit out of context.

For starters , KDB never appears to have said that he thinks Chelsea dont want him back.

He just said a Chelsea scout told him hes progressing well, but that hes focussed on Werder for now.

The 5 minute scout story is in it though. The mistranslation is more in this quote:

Êtes-vous prêt pour ce grand pas ?

Je vais vous faire un aveu : je ny pense pas. À Brême, je ne parle même jamais de Chelsea. Tout ce qui mintéresse pour le moment, cest de prendre plus de points avec le Werder (NdlR : le club nest que 11e avec 25 points).

Translation: are you ready for that big step (going to Chelsea)?

"I will make you a confession : I don't think about it, in Bremen I never talk about Chelsea. All that interests me for the moment is getting the points with Bremen.

So yeah, thanks @Mak. Insidefootball fucked up. They put the 'do the blues want you back for the next campaign' instead of the original question: 'are you ready for that big step?'

Incredible actually ...

I'm not surprised.

i wouldnt calling fucking up as in not knowing how to translate. I'd call this deliberatly putting a negative spin on a story.

How you go from an article with the headline "Chelsea tells me i'm progressing well" to an article with the headline "I dont think Chelsea want me back" i dont know, there has to be some intent there to stir shit up.

This shouldnt come as a surprise though. we've seen the English press do the same with Lukaku and Hazard.

They probably do it to players of other nationalities too, its just that we rarely get to see the original articles in those cases

I believe, these interpretations are done purposely or whoever translated it is clueless in French.

Assisted Ekici(?)

Scored the final goal in a 4-1 win away from home. Also got an assist and hit the crossbar (i think).
