Kevin de Bruyne

[LondonPride1905 236]

I don't watch Bundesliga that much, cept some Borussia games. If he is to play here at Chelsea, where would he play? Seeing him, I would love him at the CM spot?

[Hamilton 2,120]

He can play cm, lw, rw, amc..

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Great to see our boys doing well. But is he ready for Chelsea first team yet?

Erm.. if he's playing for Belgium NT - and we love Hazard and Fellani - who are also playing in the same team - I would definitely say he is ready

That's cool, just apart from that 1 youtube clip at werder I havn't seen him play since pre-season. Though I do recall RDM saying he was so close to making the 1st team squad at the time or something.

If the board dont give him a chance next season they are really really blind he could be the CM/winger that we all are crying for.. His potential is insane and could replace lampard with his brilliant passing and his goals. I have watched all bremen highlights and a couple of games and he was always great and he seems to be a humble and nice person.

On another note anyone know why Bremen arent doing so well? I was watching the Bundeskiga highlights and noticed they are in 12th, 4 places above the relegation zone. Not that they're in danger of being relegated, but I'm still surprised they're not at least top half as try have a good side on paper.

Selassie, Elia, Arnautovic, Hunt and KDB are all good players, while Pietersen, Socratis, and Junovic/Ekici(spel.) are also all pretty solid. Am I overrating them, or are they just suffering from the inconsistency typical of Bundeskiga sides season to season?

[ja1 1,166]

Sorry for any spelling mistakes.

[Leif 6,006]

He's basically a Belgian Schweinsteiger I feel...but much more special and technically gifted. Both started as attacking midfielders/wingers, both had incredible potential to play deep, both have an amazing passing range and great long shots, both are leaders, and both are quite crap tacklers! (Schweini is good at intercepting though!!)

De Bruyne however has more flair, more pace, better vision (in my opinion) and in general slightly more potential.

They're not doing badly. They're a mid-table team which is what they were last year as well, They've been awful defensively conceding 38 in 21 games.

BTW: you know how many goals Bayern have conceded this year? 7 in 21 games and only 1 goal away from home. Their goal differential is +48. That's crazy.

They've been playing some good football and are rarely out-played, but the defense has been their achilles heel.

They lack experience in key positions.

I guess you could say they are kind of like the Aston Villa of Germany at the moment. They have a number of young players, they like to play attacking football...they know how to win games..but at times, their defence just can't handle the opposition.

[ja1 1,166]

Thanks for the replies, on paper their strength does look best in the attacking roles really, espiecally in midfield where KDB and Hunt have had good seasons so far.

That is seriously impressive, Bayern have been THE team so far in Europe this season, with Barcelona. Maybe they have been motivated by their losses against us(!). I would quite like to see Bayern win it, players like Robben, Ribery, Schweinsteiger, Lahm, are all worthy players of winning the CL, as well as their up and coming young talent.

[Jack Uzzi 54]

I think Werder does lack a bit of quality to be higher in the ranking.

Yup but Schweini played in Bayern and had all suport to evolve while Chelsea doesnt give fuck about their loanees and Kdb might never reach his potential at least not here
