Kevin de Bruyne

i'm guessing Lukaku and Josh are contacted regularly because they are on loan in England...& I am very surprised that Chelsea aren't paying close attention to KdB...he's the player who could come back next season & make a serious impact.

perhaps they should spend some money and get Emanalo a Samsung phone

But then according to Omeruo and his representatives, he's already held talks about joining the first team squad next season and he's in Holland. Agree on the rest though, should be a shoe in for our squad

Bayer Leverkusen are latest club to want Chelsea's Kevin de Bruyne (after Wolfsburg & Bremen), which could mean André Schürrle joining #cfc

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Leverkusen can keep schurrle.KDB is far better.

We would be dumb crazy to sell KDB toany club and not bring him home for next season. I wanted him here this season but maybe the extra season on loan has made his overall game stronger. Sell him to Bayern and you can all go fuck yourselves!

•De Bruyne currently in general is better than Schurrle in my opinion. He has a higher ceiling than Schurrle. He is more versatile (it would seem) than Schurrle.

•Schurrle however is a really good player with the potential to become a 'great' for whichever club he goes to. He works tirelessly, seems humble, can play anywhere in attack and tracks back far better than De Bruyne.

•De Bruyne is the better passer, and I'd say they're around equal when it comes to their abilities to finish off chances.

•De Bruyne is also a good set-piece taker, something I wouldn't credit Schurrle with having. This is something our current team lacks (although I'm sure if Hazard was taking free-kicks that opinion would change a bit.)

•Schurrle seems like less of a 'rough' diamond and more like a consistent self-made player who'll carry his talent well wherever he goes. De Bruyne looks like the kind of player who'll be average here under the likes of Benitez (who'll really hopefully be gone after this season), Di Matteo, AVB etc. He, like Hazard, needs an incredible manager to unlock that equally incredible potential. Under a manager like Mourinho, the sky would be the limit for Kevin.

•De Bruyne is more likely to play for his national team on a consistent basis meaning he'd continue developing even when he's away from Chelsea. There's also the fact that he'd build more chemistry with Hazard & Lukaku.

So it comes down to apples & oranges really, and this is the sort of situation where having a stable, steady, long-term manager would ease a potential headache.

Edit: De Bruyne also has an incredible amount of vision. Amongst the top 10 midfielders in world football surely when it comes to this trait. Pin-point passes of any length plus an ability to predict where a team-mate will be. Isn't this something special, especially at his age?

Moses shouldn't be on this chart, but anyway, just some fun:-

[Mundaka 243]

Well he sure looks spectacular like that but he would'nt get the same amount of key passes / dribbles per game at chelsea tho, although then again his passing % and crossing % would be higher here... so dunno how good that comparison is. Still amazing stats

[ja1 1,166]

Kevin De Bruyne is in the top 5 in the Bundesliga for assists (8), key passes (66) & accurate crosses (57) this term.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

All the more reason to recall him next season.I dont know why are we even discussing this it really should have been a done deal by now that he will be recalled.
