Kevin de Bruyne

[Goemaere 131]

De bruyne is better than Oscar. De bruyne has the run the most meters in the bundes liga and has created the second most changes of all players. His speed, technique are on oscar's level. His vision is on matas and his crossballs are probably top 3 in the world. We might as well sell Hazard too when we are at it because they are on the same level.

It "only" says that De Bryune and BvB agreed on a contract. No freaking way that we will let him slip for 15mEUROS, should be at least 20m£.

How stupid can our board be? Not only that they´ve watched De Bryune blossom and become a top prospect but when one of the best clubs in the world at finding young players that eventually will become world stars want to buy him to replace Götze we will sell him almost for free...

I really hope the club takes him back. Will without a doubt get really many games already next season.

[Waterfall 893]

I'm sure the club will do the right thing. I obviously don't feel as strongly about De Bruyne as most of you do. If we can get a fair price for him, he can go. He's not untouchable like Mata and Hazard for me.

If this is true about KDB (which I hope is not) it is like we are following Real Madrid's route but a worse approach. We buy young players basically to sell them and the annoying thing is we spend quite a lot of money and wages on these players. At least with Real Madrid, most of them come out of their academy and then they sell so they are making a huge profit really. Soldado, Mata etc but their policy works, maybe they can give them more time before selling them but I hate this approach with the amount of young players we sign for them to not have a future here. Especially when you have done as well as KDB in his loan, we can't consider selling him, just principles, what kind of message do we want to send out?

[Goemaere 131]

Must be fun to see at the acadamy. A fellow under 21 year old displays world class preformances and is rated as one of the 10 best bundes liga players and we simply sell him off and try to buy schrulle who has half the class the bruyne is.

We're sending out the message that we just love to stockpile young talented footballers. Then we loan them out for 2-3 seasons, see if the manager wants them or just sell them off.

We could have one of the best attacking trios in European football over the next decade: Hazard - Mata - De Bruyne/Oscar (assuming one of them eventually becomes more of a CM)

Signing Torres was a mistake, selling De Bruyne would be disgraceful.

[TrippingStep 336]

Because thay have 37m for Gotze and can buy De Bruyne AND Eriksen for less. Actually strengthen the team while losing its best raw talent.

That's the Dortmund way. You lose Barrios ? You get Lewandowski. You lose Kagawa ? You get Reus. You lose Gotze ? You get De Bruyne and Eriksen.

And the great thing with the system they play is that they can resell the players playing in the hole a good amount of money.

You must be really bad to not shine in this position with the wing-backs, wingers and forward making a lot of runs.

Well if thats the case, maybe the next coach will realise that we need to keep him, not loan or sell ...

[Stats 7,060]

Dortmund chief executive/DOF remaining coy on reports that KDB is about to join them. Sky sports reporting this and I smell blood. He is on his way out, I am sure. How are we even contemplating selling him when one, he has not even played here yet, 2, he has had a brilliant season and 3 he is one of the best young and improving players to emerge out of Belgium. Are we seriously crazy? Going to go out on a mission to execute whoever responsible if true.

Count me in!

[bushman 2,043]

Well, somehow I get the feeling since Bild & WAZ mentioned it, KDB is just about gone.

I can´t believe this, Chelsea are so stupid to let him go. Fuck the money. Roman does not need money but Chelsea needs players.

[Goemaere 131]

We payed 30 million for Oscar but we would sell the bruyne, which is a better playe for 15. If this is true this is the worst decision our board has ever made. Including the signing of Torres.

[The Mak 4,459]

Selling KDB to Dortmund for money only would be the stupidest thing since buying Torres.

[Special Juan 27,514]

KDB to Dortmund but Lewandowski here as part of the deal, I reckon.

[Fernando 6,497]

Have we not learned from Sturridge and Matic, two players we have let go cheaply and who would be far better than our current options. At least insist on a buy back clause like Real often do

Sturridge was mainly because of Torres.

So much time wasted on that striker, that we had to sell Sturridge because he was not getting any time.

Matic, we got David Luiz so can't complain.

[Ronaldo 28]

Let's switch it around.....

If we were to loan Sturridge to Liverpool and he was producing at his current rate, would his original price that he was sold this past winter be considered negative had someone come in and bought him after his loan spell?
