Kevin de Bruyne

[SykikJV 146]

Why the heck we sold him? He and Hazard fit together perfectly and today, it was seen again...If Kevin forced move, Mou couldnt do much (except maybe planing on selling only KDB or Mata), but if Mou indeed was the one who cut him off and sold him, then he should realy show some more patience and belief in KDB.

To me, Kevin would be perfect competition to Oscar.

I dunno, Mou is making good team, but if we had coach who could adapt to our players (Mou, KDB, Luiz) more, we might play much more attacking football and in few years when team gels together, we would be unbeatable...but then again, Mou is doing good job, except he cant adopt his style to players he already has/had.

Currently there's a tv-show in Belgium about our national team players. Every episode is about one player. De Bruyne and his grand-dad also talked about his 6 months with Chelsea :

- his grand-dad asked him if he ever talked to Mourinho about his lack of game-time. De Bruyne answered : "you don't talk to Mourinho, Mourinho only talks to you".

- his coach from Genk said in the same episode that he enjoyed the talks he had with De Bruyne about team tactics and football in general. They didn't always agree, he said with a little smile, but he liked the fact that a young player showed a bit of character.

- in december Mourinho asked KDB to stay at Chelsea, but KDB said that he wanted to play football and he didn't believe he would get sufficiant game-time at Chelsea.

- his manager said that De Bruyne has absolutely no clue about his wage or the money on his bank-account, the only thing that matters to him is playing football. De Bruyne is a player that needs game-time to play his best and natural game and Chelsea was the first time in his life when he wasn't getting it.

You can only say that the time for KDB at Chelsea wasn't right. Chelsea clearly didn't believe in him enough to not buy Willian and KDB wasn't prepared to wait for his chance at Chelsea. Too bad KDB only could show his best in the first game against Hull.

As we all know or some of us can see the sale of KDB was a mistake. Lol.

Perhaps, next time someone else at the club wakes up & smell the coffee before Chelsea ends up being a team full of defensive specialists only. Lol.

The Belgian national team is not a "small pond".

He'll make a real name for himself on the world cup, you'll see.

[bushman 2,043]

If the red devils of Belgium are viewed as a small pond, then I suggest to see an optometrist asap.

Not sure why there's discussion about this still. He didn't fancy his chances at a top European club so he asked to leave and went to a mid-tier Bundesliga team where he'd get plenty of football. Good for him doing well for Belgium too but he asked to leave this club. Jose doesn't want players who don't want to be here and fight for a spot in a top club and I don't blame him.

Using what happened with De Bruyne as a stick to bash Jose is a bit silly but unsurprising when you look at the comments.

[bushman 2,043]

Once again, untrue & more clueless comments are seen here.

KDB was never given a proper chance by Jose. That's the bottom line!

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I do agree with the notion that KDB was never given a proper chance here.

playing for the NT is very different from playing club football.

forlan had a wonderful WC, how was he at manu? the continous pressure, the mental and physical requirements, everything is different.

at the best of the clubs, if u r given a chance, u have to make the best of it. he dint.

He was barely given a chance lol. A few games here and there doesn't constitute as a proper chance IMO.

Perhaps, those 2 & a half games were sufficient for him?

he was given a chance against united in PL. he was given a chance against arsenal, swindon, sunderland in COC. against hull in PL. he was our 6th choice AM among the list we had at that moment. in the real world, he needed to take those chances. he dint. he was average in ALL of those matches.

An 8 out of posters say, KDB was not given a proper chance. Meanwhile, you & ....

4 games here and there, not even consecutively... Do you honestly think that that constitutes as a proper chance?

I don't care about KDB still being here or not, but to say that constitutes as a proper chance is ludicrous.
