ja1 1,166 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I am not liking these Schurrle rumours. KDB is just as good a talent, and I don't think there's anything between:Oscar-Mikel-KDBMata-Falcao-HazardAnd FalcaoHazard-Mata-ScurrleRamires-MikelI would prefer to just have KDB back, plus no risk of him leaving in summer '14. He has already commented (as well as Courtois I think) about how he doesn't know what the club want to do with him. Can imagine him getting increasingly disillusioned if this happens. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinol 337 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 According to soccerways match lineup De Bruyne is having a pivot role right now. Intresting to see how he does http://int.soccerway.com/matches/2013/04/06/germany/bundesliga/sv-werder-bremen/fc-schalke-04/1301019/?ICID=HP_MS_02_04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDY 1,290 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Anyone catch the match earlier? Kevin was pretty average but so was the whole Bremen team. If you have the chance to see it, have a look at Lukimya's mistakes for both of Schalke's goals. It epitomizes Bremen at the back this season. Promising going forward, disaster waiting to happen in defence. Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mak 4,459 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Ok, so what if Schurrle does come during the summer and de Bruyne only goes on loan, what happens the season after that?I know people are saying KDB will be in the pivot, but all the highlights of Kevin's time at Bremen have been his attacking attributes..so we're not going to see any of his brilliant crosses if he is deployed as a DM. Yes, he has a brilliant distribution from deep, but what about defending? As far as I can tell, he'll be no better than Lampard in that aspect.What happens if he can't adapt to that position? We'll have an overload of AMs, might be forced to sell him and STILL no god damn world-class DM or ball winner in the pivot.In my mind, he's a CM/AM only, not a DM. Also, 4-2-3-1 is such bullshit, it's causing all these problems. Peace. and Stingray 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 In my mind, he's a CM/AM onlyHe is very effective on the wings also but i agree that the pivot job is not for him. The Mak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely think they'll be space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukakutoStamford 779 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I can't fathom what Chelsea is doing, it's rather maddening that Chelsea has an absolute dearth of quality center midfielders and De Bruyne is already one of the best in the world at only age 21. He's criminally underrated on this board. He's the best crosser I've seen in 15 years. He's the playmaker for the Belgian national team whose starting 11 is better than what Chelsea fields. So he's good enough to start for the Belgian national team but not good enough to start for Chelsea? Utterly mindboggling.

Utterly mindboggling.He has a place in this team, but he's definately not one of the best in the world yet. He's one of the best young players in the world.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Schalke 04 joins the list of teams showing interest in KDB.So that makes Dortmund, Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Bremen and Schalke. It's expected that Leverkusen still has the biggest chance to get him cause of our interest in Schurrle.KDB's manager insists that nothing will be decided untill Cfc appoints the new manager and what his plan is with KDB at Chelsea.
