Kevin de Bruyne

If United signed KDB and Courtois and sent them out on genius loan spells that doubled or possibly trebled their value, we would be wanking over their board and slating our board for not doing something similar.

Our board has done a fantastic job (there you go ive said it) changing us from one of the most ageing and stale teams to one of the most youthful teams with shit loads of potential in 2 years.

And we can add champions league and europa league cups

KDB made Raphael Honigstein's Bundesliga team of the season:

Team of the season

Manuel Neuer; Philipp Lahm, Dante, Mats Hummels, David Alaba; Ilkay Gündogan, Bastian Schweinsteiger; Kevin De Bruyne, Franck Ribéry; Robert Lewandowski, Stefan Kiessling


(Second XI: René Adler; Daniel Carvajal, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Wollscheid, Atsuto Uchida; Javi Martínez; André Schürrle, Thomas Müller, Arjen Robben; Marco Reus, Mario Mandzukic)

Interesting to note Schürrle made the second team. Clearly not as bad as some here would like us to believe.

I don't like the look of Oscar in the pivot i would rather Ramires in there with someone like De Rossi or Alonso with Oscar rotating with Mata or KdB

Ramires - Alonso/De Rossi

KdB/Oscar - Mata/Oscar - Hazard

Cavani/Lukaku

Or a 4-3-2-1:

KDB - DM - OSCAR

MATA HAZARD

STRIKER

I just think if we're gonna use a 3 man midfield...Ramires should start alongside Oscar and the DM.

Then KDB can come off the bench for a tiring Mata or Oscar..

True. Ramires is a very reliable two way player (defending and attacking) even if his passing is hit and miss. In some games however we would benefit from a more technical build-up and perhaps it would be to go with other players. It is a squad game after all.

Ideally:

------ Oscar - De Rossi -------

KDB ------ Mata ------ Hazard

------------ Cavani --------------

Champions League number 2 here we come. That team would be terrifying for opponents.

Agreed, I think Oscar's potential would be wasted there. Give him a chance to play the no10.

I think it's clear that next year we'll alternate between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 because we have so many players with the versatility to fit both.

Benitez isn't the manager anymore, we won't be confined to playing the same formation every match. Jose likes to switch it up based on opponent and squad selection.

Hopefully you're right

Hopefully you're right

I hope he is as well! We will have the players to switch strategy ...

[Weckerz 3,781]

Just realized, we've finally got a corner specialist!

[yuvala 2,167]

Does anyone know where I could find footage of him just walking with his headphones, or anything similar to this that I can put at the start of my De Bruyne video I'm working on ?

Been all over Youtube, couldn't find anything useful .
