Kevin de Bruyne

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I missed the match and only watched the highlights. Can someone tell me please whether he was playing at central midfield or on the wing?

On the right wing.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

On the right wing.

I actually believe his future is in a more central role. Because I can't see him playing on the right except in a four-man midfield.

Same here.He has got the passing ability to play in the pivot.In the future i think the competition between him and josh for that midfield position will be very interesting,I fancy de bruyne over josh though.

[Tomo 21,751]

Think about it, in the next couple of years we don't need any reinforcement for our midfield probably except a decent DM.

We should always look to improve no matter how good we think the team is, it's improving teams when on top that keep's top teams at the top.

in belgium he's know as the biggest talent of this generation red devils including hazard,last nights game proved why.

brilliant game of this future chelsea star

I think they could play very well together in a 4-3-3 midfield if they are given enough time to develop chemistry. Josh as the initiating force, starting our attacks and being the little general, whereas KDB could serve as our midfield engine, making runs into the box, shooting from distance, playing the long range passes and being the goal threat Lampard used to be in his prime.

Agree man, and if Mikel is developing like last couple of months, mby we won't need DM anyway.We only need a big name striker to lead us properly !

How has Mikel developed that significantly over the last couple of months? He's always been good, people are just coming round to it now.

And isn't Torres a "big name striker"?

Mikel is developing?, he's still not good enough for this team and we will do better with a replacement. He couldn't play with any reliability what so ever, always leaving his man unmarked and being clumsy in the midfield.

I even said myself he can be a useful player this season if someone like Ramires or Romeu where with him, because they can cover him a lot more. Ramires has been the midfield maestro lately, was brilliant against Arsenal, can cover a lot of ground, so Mikel doesn't have to be the one dropping back.

But he's still a poor player and why waste him in our team, get someone better if we want to win things. Like a deep lying playmaker sort.

[nyikolajevics 2,692]

McEachran needs to go live in a gym for like 2 years, he's too lightweight, needs a bit more muscle like Hazard, Mata.

As for KDB, I can't wait to see him in a Chelsea shirt. I'm glad we snapped him up from Genk for a bargain fee.

And what about Oscar? Altough he is not a muscle man he plays fantastic.

Forget this crap. If a player got talent big muscles aren't necessary at all.

Torres is a big name clown.

Ok man compare Mikel to what he was a year ago, isn't he alot better ?

[Jack Uzzi 54]

Proved yesterday why he should have been given a start for Belgium long time ago. Played at the right side where he was excellent, although I believe he's better from the left. Two great weighted passes saw Benteke and Hazard clear in front of the Serbian keeper. Both should have put the opportunities away.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

If he continues this blistering form should we call him back in january for our midfield?

Of course but then we'd have to pay something to Bremen for breaking the contract. i dont't know the amount but there was talk about the contract details when he signed for Bremen. A recall is not likely at the moment and I think it's best he stays there for thw whole season and plays every game rather than sit on the bench at Chelsea.

Hard not to get excited about the future when we already have players like Hazard, Oscar, Mata in the team and then a gem like De Bruyne out on loan.

Yeah man i just cant wait to see him in our blue shirt.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Why recall him when he obviously wouldn't get as many games? Just let him develop further at Werder.
