Looks that way, unfortunately. He's class but things just haven't worked out for him at Chelsea. I still think it was Willian's unnecessary signing that sealed his fate but the way our new Brazilian has played I can't complain too much.

Would be super frustrating to see Kevin perform for some other team on the level we all know he has the ability to, but in case he left we'd still have five great AMs and a chance could be given to the likes of Traore or Boga in case of injuries so I don't think we'd miss him as much as some people still miss a certain English centre forward who now plays for Liverpool. I guess the main thing would have to be ensuring he doesn't end up at one of our rivals in the PL.

In terms of our rivals in the PL, City don't need an AM, Moyes wouldn't know how to use KdB properly & Arsenal don't really need an AM.

I think if KdB was sold, he'd end up in Germany.

Chelsea will decide if I leave on loan in January, insists De Bruyne

Brilliant mentality lad. Keep it up, your chance will come soon.

What is the point of a loan? he's going to come back next season to the exact same conditions.

Worse, we will have Moses (the dude who is better than Neymar), Marin and Piazon all back from loan!

Personally I think Piazon will be loaned again while the other two will be offloaded.

But if he can come back on fire, he has a chance to fight for his place in better form.

Thing is next year is WC year... while players have to play, if they exhaust themselves, they risk being injured for the WC. The best predicament is to be rotated, so you arrive at WC preparation carrying some form, but not exhausted. So if Kevin could actually find a way to play a few times a month, that'd good for him and for Belgium.

Players such Oscar, Hazard and Neymar who are playing tons of matches for their teams are probably going to arrive exhausted for the 30-day preparation to the WC.

I hope you have recognised the huge level of sarcasm of my previous post...

EDIT: But I agree with everything you said.

I did, (the Neymar part gave it away), I just took the chance to talk about what I think will happen to our never ending list of AMs.

yeah, Loan move looks likely. Probably Bertrand Traore will be sixth choice then. He'll have gotten his work permit.

edit: Not like he'll get to play anyway

[ParNolio7 285]

November/December are going to be crucual for KDB. I'm sure Mourinho is going to give him some chances with the enormous amount of matches coming up and given how he's still searching for his best team. He'll also want to see a bit more of KDB before deciding whether or not he wants to let him go.

But he'll have to do exceptionnally well to convince Mourinho, that's for sure. And his current form makes me fear the worst. But if one guy can do it, turns things around, then it's KDB. He's a star.

[gary gordon 1,777]

There is no doubt there will be player movement in January. Jose is not happy with the squad and plans to adjust it to suit his style of play. Kevin should be given a bigger chance but should always take it with both hands. I feel he holds back when playing for Chelsea. Playing for us seems very overwhelming for the young lad. Once he sorts out his confidence, he will play a lot better.

[ParNolio7 285]

Eden Hazard very clear on KDB situation in an interview for Belgian television:

"He (KDB) 's old enough to make his own decisions."

"But playing in a WC after not having played for a year, to me seems very difficult. It's up to him to decide whether or not he should leave Chelsea, but if he does and he can accumulate more game time, that would be good for him. And for the Belgian NT as well. If we want to have him at his best, I think it's better if he left."

Not if we loan him to a club where he can get minutes in the pivot.

He did play well at that role at Werder Bremen.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

If he wants to succeed here,he'll have to adapt to a role in the pivot.Now if he doesn't want to do that then its totally understandable as its not his natural position and therefore should leave in January.

Just can't see him flourishing as a winger for Chelsea.

[bushman 2,043]

Since KDB has not cracked into Chelsea´s talented midfield, he ought to move on in January, I feel.

The club should even consider to sell him in January.

I believe, around 10-12m for him, the same amount for BA could be had.

Money used to buy Falcao & Chelsea is winning the PL, easily.

I would even try to offer Fernando for around 25-30m in January. Now, that would do the trick, big time.
