Kevin de Bruyne

[sutro 1,026]

Weak character.

Don't need fragile boys in our team.

Need tough steel men like Lampard.

I think every manager that has coached here since Lampard has been at the club has always praise Lampard attitude in training. A hard worker, one of the first to come and one of the last to leave a training session.

If kids think they can have a free ride their kidding themselves.

We work hard and play hard!

Spot on mate!

Nothing comes for free in live, hopefully he takes his lessons now and work like mad so mourinho cant go arround him anymore

[Henrique 9,133]

This belgian fans are pretty annoying. This kid is not a world class player and wont be in any time in the future. Stop the bullshit about he being so good that he should be a natural starting XI.

He should be really happy with a squad player status in a club like Chelsea and get some games in League Cup games.

Thats why Mourinho got angry. People questioning him about a player like KDB was too much for him. Well done Jose.

Spot on, Lampard could have easily put his head down in 2003 when the galaxy of stars were coming through the door, but he wasn't getting shafted, he made sure of that, if KDB wants a future here, he has to do the same. If he is letting the competition get to him, then being a big fish in a small pond like at Werder is the best it's going to get for him

This is dog eat dog, survival of the fittest, Drogba came out the other side when we brought back Crespo then signed Sheva and Anelka, Lampard has seen of competition down the years to be where he is, Terry had to compete with Carvalho and Gallas in his peak years. Mata looks like he has forced his way back in though hard work, KDB should take their example's and if he wants to make it here or at any top club has to.

True and those players that stuck and worked hard generally tend to have a great attitude. Drogba was always a guy we would rely on, Lampard a legend, and Terry has been a rock for over a decade. Heck even Cole was always praised by many managers that he was a hard worker in the training sessions.

Cause they know that if they train hard and do right on the field they will continue to be the guys that always play.

At Madrid when Mourinho started to bench some under performing stars, they went and bitch and moan to the press.

And I clearly remember Mourinho stating this when Mata did good against Spur. That that's the attitude he wants to see. Go train hard and then show him in the pitch that he was wrong.

Not go behind his back and cause a bad atmosphere.

It's ridiculous. Mourinho has to give players confidence and make them better. Chelsea has bought certain players, loaned them and now is the time for some of them to get chances at the club. It's a very old fashioned view to hold the kind of line that Mourinho is holding atm. And what a difference with his self-professed 'father' image, him having changed and being there for other managers if they wanted advice.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Right, time for a response from Kevin in the next match he gets.

[bouletje 82]

I'm not going to start complaining like Kevin has to play etc etc, but as a manager you loose credibility imo when you bench your last game's MOTM and play against United the way we did and rate a player on the performance in a game you never intended to win.

Look at the mentality city had playing ManU that's the football i want and love to see.

The results are here in a way, but it can't be said that chelsea is playing good so far.

The only thing we have to hope for is for everything to get better because I'm not liking what i see now.

Big fish in a small pond :-) prooves you know absolutely nothing about him. When De Bruyne was loaned out to Werder Bremen he was 20 years old and had only played for Racing Genk in the Belgian Jupiler League. So he was not a big fish in a small pond. He was an anchovy in the ocean. From Belgian league to Bundesliga is an immense step. I very much doubt Chelsea would finish top two there with the likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

By New Year, the German tabloid "Bild" had called him one of the worst transfers in Germany. By the end of the season he finished top 5 in overall stats (goals, assists, completed passes, etc., check whoscored.com) from all Bundesliga players and was suddenly ranked, by the same tabloid, among the BEST 5 transfers in Germany. True story.

Just to tell you that Kevin knows what it's like to put up a fight. So he'll do the same at Chelsea, provided he gets another chance. First chance he got, he was named MOTM (against Hull), don't know what more he can do ... He's a top class player and it'll be Chelsea's loss if he moves to the competition in January.

I believe in you Kev !! Show your talent :blue scalf:

[ParNolio7 285]

And you are comparing De Bruyne to those guys? Based on what? I very much doubt you had ever heard of De Bruyne before the start of this season. So don't act like you know what he's all about. You won't find any player more modest, level headed than this fellow. He'll prove you wrong. And when he does, I would very much like to see you repeat the stupid things you're saying about him now, and not cheer for him.

Anyway don't judge someone you don't know, that's all I want to say.

Well by the end he was by far their best player and would be again if he goes back.

"Just to tell you that Kevin knows what it's like to put up a fight. So he'll do the same at Chelsea, " Good then he will be forcing his way into Mou's reckoning sooner rather then later then

And I believe if he does leave, many a folk in here would be moving along with him...

People are hyperbolising a small ear flick Mourinho gave him. He's a great prospect and will work hard for the manager again.

First of all, your favourite player is David Luiz, that says enough about you already. I shouldn't even respond to your comments.

Question though: have you ever seen Kevin De Bruyne play? And not against 2nd division Swindon I mean?

I'm pretty sure you haven't or you would not say ignorant stuff like that. You're just talking along with José, like all the others, have no opinion of your own. Pathetic, keep on cheering for David Luiz, man, he's your kind of player.

Pal, you're in a Chelsea FC forum, not De Bruyne or the Belgium National Team's discussion board, deriding a world-class player to make a point for one of the only 3 or 4 players you enjoy watching in a blue jersey will get you nowhere.

[ParNolio7 285]

That is quite possible but it would be with regret, because I for one happen to be quite fond of Chelsea. Been supporting the club since I was 16 (long time ago) and got to see Chelsea - Wimbledon at Stamford Bridge all the way from Belgium as a birthday present. That's 12 years ago now, and I still support the club, so even before any Belgians were involved.

But De Bruyne is that good I'd support him for any club, not only the Belgian NT.

Sorry, I guess I got a bit carried away :-) Just can't stand anyone saying De Bruyne is a poor player when they've actually never seen him play, only because of what Mourinho makes them believe.

I'm not even saying De Bruyne should start every match. Willian on the right is a good option too. Mata/Lampard/Oscar for me in the middle should not be discussed. But I do rate him higher than Schürrle and even Hazard (so don't accuse me of only being here for the Belgians). So for me he should be a regular starter and always part of the squad.

[zolayes 14,489]

time to calm down ,,, KDB was poor against Swindon .. Mata has turned things around. It is up to Kevin to do the same.

Give it a rest. Kevin is a good player but he has not shown nearly enough to be starting ahead of the likes of Schurrle, Oscar, Mata, Hazard and Willian. It's very simple. We have 6 AMs for 3 positions. 3 will start, 2 will be on the bench and one will be left out. After the performance he put against Swindon, he was always going to be the one to be left out in the next couple of games. Next time he gets a chance, and he will get a chance, he needs to put in a great performance if he wants to keep his place.

Oh, and David Luiz is a world class player, while Kevin is not, at least yet...and this is coming from someone who has been called a KDB fan boy in the past.
