For Christ's sake, how many times will we have to go through this...?! Hazard earns 540 000 fucking EUROS per month, which does 135k euros per week = £116k at the current exchange rate. All French-spe

I stayed away from this topic as long as I could — and hopped to do so for the upcoming months — but I am too bothered by what's going on in this topic. And, Choulo, if I'm quoting you on this, it's n

The only way KDB is gonna get back in the Chelsea lineup is by actually playing well, something he hasn't done since this summer.

Kevin De Bruyne isn't a winger. He played there and quite successfully, but that's more due to the low quality of the Belgian league than due to his traits and abilities. For the PL he really doesn't have the speed nor the explosiveness to run past most players in this level. Sure he has technical abilities and skills that would help him do it some times, but he will not have a big impact on the game. Best thing for him would be a central midfielder role, with a somewhat more defensive player with him in the midfield. Play a bit like number ten but not as high up the pitch? Which he is playing now. While he was a great player at the wing for a Belgian club, it is since he's been playing this position that you can really see that he's ten times better than anyone else in Belgium. Though we might indeed be underestimating his defensive capabilities. Currently he has grown quite a bit stronger and has great stamina and helps out much in defence.

There are two things that make him a great player. Not his physique, skills, or anything but primarily his ability to think two steps ahead, always finding the best solutions, reading the game, pure creativity. And secondly he just has a great pass and shot, which make him a true playmaker.

While I think he could fit into a PL team. I think it would be a bit rushed to give him a place in the starting eleven next year. I'd loan him out for one year to another PL team, but only for one year. Then he should probably be ready to either be part of the starting eleven or to at least play regularly. Though he could possibly be a substitute next year already, I think a loan would be best for his development as playing a lot is so important for young players.

At least that's just my opinion, not worth much but whatever.

Rumors of him going to Lille on loan next season. If the idiots at Chelsea board decide De Bruyne isn't yet good enough to play for Chelsea then I'd say Lille is probably one of the best teams he could go on loan to because he'd probably fit right in their starting lineup as a replacement for Hazard who's 100% to leave them after this season. Also they're almost certain to qualify in the Champions League next season.

On another note, loaning De Bruyne to them would probably increase our chances of getting Hazard to Chelsea. :Goober:

I seriously have no belief De Bruyne will break into our first squad next season, no hope whatsoever.

Two footed and more naturally skilled (= not just flashy) than all our players bar 2, even if shit hits the fan he'll get appearances under any coach as an alternative to Mata.

Don't you dare mention Kakuta ; - )

Lmao I was going to as well :lol:

But yeah I can see that, it's just, he seems to young for any prospective managers to gamble on. I'd love him in our squad, but I just don't see anyone taking a gamble. Romeu's only been the u21 we've played a decent amount of games and now look where he's ended up.

Romeu had to displace Mikel, who has been established for years, and the gambles that Lampard and Essien were.

Up front even if some of the current players sign new contracts the only one who is anywhere near being established is Mata.

If we lose the players that are expected to leave we'll have basically 8 players for 3 positions(Torres, Sturridge, Mata, Malouda, Benayoun, DeBruyne, Lukaku, Kakuta). While we are certain to sign more attacking players I expect him to lead the U21 bunch both due to ability and professional experience*.

*Both KDB and Kakuta are 21 in the summer, Kakuta is fucked by comparison of their appearances.

Well if the cynic has hope he'll breakthrough then I'm certainly a little less sceptical haha. Let's just hope you're right though, because the kid is incredibly gifted and it would be a continuation of this crime the club's guilty of, of ruining the young talent we do recruit.
